The whole choosing games thing is strange.

Give me one button and throw me into a live game.

Or let me practice against bots before going live.

Also the notice that my username was taken wasn’t clear (was in white) so i thought the app didn’t work until i learned my username was already taken by scrolling up and seeing the notice that didn’t stand out


I think it's because there's usually only a couple players at any given time, so live matching would never fill.


Why not use your own characters or companies to trade?

Would be way more fun having some mascots to trade instead of common cards


The game mechanics require 2 colors that each contain 2 suits. Playing cards fits this requirement, are widely available, and importantly everyone knows what the suits/colors are. The same isn't true if you used random companies or game characters.


Which is a good message that this type of role / career is not good for you. The excitement is in the winning, does not matter what is being traded as long as you win.


lol hyperbole much.


What’s the hyperbole? This is partly a recruiting tool. If you think the game is not exciting then this is probably not the career for you. Do you have something more substantive than a weak attack?


Why is hiring a sales team not mentioned here?

Feels like the obvious next step and would be more impactful than focusing on increasing margins


Is there a mobile app in the works too? I usually plan from mobile and find doing it outside of a native app clunky


It's still in planning at the moment

Native English speakers are quite lucky all programming languages are in English. Imagine China created their own languages and OS? We couldn't keep up

文言 is programming in classical chinese. So its starting… :)

what makes it different than another landing page builder? the differentiating things are not clear


The gamification aspect - but yeah the product at this stage doesn't stand on its own compared to more full featured landing page builders.


Really unfortunate naming with the safe money polygon hack hitting the news today


At first I was afraid to open news, but hey, it's not that similar! There's a competitor of mine called everydollar. They have the same similarity, lol.
