Hey there! Founder here, thanks for the feedback.

You're right, the whole thing as it is right now is something light hearted. I spent no more than 2-3 hours of development on this before launching and didn't expect it going so viral at all. In order to make it more reliable than it is right now I think of implementing upvote/downvote buttons and a comment system.

I'm open to ideas if you think of any other ways to improve it!

I think it's really fun. And I get from your website that you're a "what-if, can-do" kind of hacker who loves to play. Goodonya. It's very addictive - I think I clicked through 20 or more!

What was going on my mind, I think, was a sense of amusement at how wrong it all is - but also how "uncanny valley" right. This is important stuff, what you've done, because it showcases applications of emerging tech - and how they don't quite hit home.

Part of me would like it to work. Part of me is horrified that it might. And another part knows deep down it never really can.

But yeah, the feedback you gather on why it isn't working may be the most important outcome here - for everyone. Enjoy the moment.

You scored on the domain name. Songtell.com is a good one. Did you buy it on the aftermarket?
Nope! It was available. I found it with namewizard.ai, another tool I built :)
