Great project!

here's some feedback, for future updates:

The text on the buttons cuts off after the first word, mangling most of the options.

Every decision it presented to me, except Marbury v. Madison are presented as expanding or limiting rights, when in reality they may be preserving rights or weighing one group's rights vs anther's, so defining them as only expanding or limiting does not always make sense.


Inference (i.e. running an already trained LLM) requires current top-end hardware, but over time that will become commodity hardware, so there's only a small perioud (perhaps the next decade) where running an LLM as a service instead of locally even makes sense, so they will likely not go away because they are too expensive, but because they are too cheap.

Neural network development platforms are even more bloated and broken than the record set by FPGA development platforms and even mobile phone development platforms.

Hacker News uses very little memory. The other tabs are likely being closed at a higher priority, once your RAAM is used up.

On Android, you can disable animations under the debug menu. It make the phone significantly faster.

Double points if it's on a phone and there's no hovering, and triple if the effects are irreversible so clicking on the wrong one costs you.

That's just the most basic interface, with GUIs being written on top of that rapid IDEs built onto GUIs.

In my experience, everything involving AI is half-baked, not just its output but its creation too. It's all a bunch of proof-of-concept research papers tied together into a house of cards that only works if multiple layers of virtual environments are all precisely the same version it was developed on, there's far more memory free than the models and their output occupy, and the lunar tide is within range.

A few more layers of GUI and IDE would probably make the whole thing collapse.


If it's any consolation, research shows that you're right about the poor usability of flat design: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/flat-ui-less-attention-caus...

The entire idea of a user experience makes no sense to me. A user interface is unnoticeable and forgettable, because it's a utilitarian functionality.

A user experience can only be an experience if it's notable and memorable, and the only way for that to happen is for it to get in the way. On top of that, everyone will eventually adjust to it, so to stay notable and memorable, it has to constantly change, so it can always get in the way.

Worse yet, if a project included research to optimize usability, that constant change will mean it is always departing further and further from peak usability.


Patents last up to 20 years, assuming all maintenance fees are paid, so having a patent far in advance of an event may mean it's no longer valid.
