Oh no, concise sentences.

Must be an inappropriate use of the robot!

Kind of exhausting.

If you think (or care), that the LLM wrote all of the subheaders, the category names etc, then you might be spending too much time focused on the wrong thing.

[sevg]

> If you think (or care)

I don’t think anybody really cares, the reaction is because you praised some copy that was obviously written by an LLM and either not edited or barely edited.

[DANmode]

There was barely anything to edit, and I think they did a great job choosing what NOT to write out on the lander.

Sometimes less is more.

[sevg]

> Less is more.

Yes, we should all just throw LLM-generated copy out there with minimal effort. Then receive your praise for the effort and care put in XD

The fact you’re still trying to defend an indefensible position suggests you must be trolling. Or at least, I _hope_ you’re trolling ;)

[DANmode]

I wish - I wouldn’t feel so stupid for replying! =]

I genuinely found the space cool, and modern in a good way.

Stuff like this has often been an “ugly“ aesthetic, with slapped together and or minimal scaffolding. Or started that way.

I thought it was more than enough for a social PoC, & hope it develops further.

[sevg]

I also found it cool/fun and seems many others did too! But this thread isn’t about that.

LLM-driven PoC is common and normal these days (and I do it too). But praising the copy here is like praising stock photos.

├─ chill radio, classical, and guest stations ├─ the arcade (2048, sudoku, nonograms, solitaire) ├─ collaborative artboard ├─ daily challenges & streaks ├─ live chat ├─ share & discuss news └─ multiplayer games (coming soon)

^This didn’t feel like LLM to me.

& for the category descriptions, I’m used to way more convoluted word-choice places like…here, lol, so that didn’t stand out to me the way it did for everyone else.

Only the conciseness, the need-to-know.

[notpushkin]

I don’t really care. I’m just... disappointed a bit? It seems like a cool project, but those “concise sentences” don’t make it easier to learn about it.

  no passwords. no OAuth. no accounts.
  your ssh key is your identity.

  chats, scores, and streaks are tied to your public key fingerprint. same key, same data.

No accounts? How is that possible? You literally store my data! Is that not an account?

And what the fuck is OAuth? (Okay, this clearly is oriented at developers, but on its own the sentence just doesn’t make sense. For me as a user, what pain is removed by not having a “Sign in with GitHub” button? Why should I care?)

How about you tell me why you decided to do it that way:

  all your data – chats, scores, streaks – is tied to your ssh public key.
  no need to come up with a password or verify your email – just ssh in.

It took me a couple of minutes to write this, sure, but at least it now makes sense. And it’s more concise, no? (It still sounds llm-y to me, but whatever.)

Now, for bonus points, there’s two obvious questions to answer:

• what do I do if I lose my SSH key?

• what do I do if I use more than one device?

(The obvious answers are “you can add other SSH keys in your account settings” and “you can add other SSH keys in your account settings”.)

Okay, one more, and then I need to go grab a beer.

  a read-only peek at the TUI in your browser.
  tab around, see what's inside.
  
  no typing, no chat, no games — just a window
  into a shared demo session.

  for the real thing, `ssh late.sh`.

Concise?

  a read-only preview of late.sh in your browser.
  poke around and see what's inside. `ssh late.sh` when you’re ready to chat and play.

I like your last improvement, for sure.

The goal of the lander is to get you to use the clubhouse.

Not get you to become a contributor, or intrigued/turned away by their stack choice.

PS You could also be a heathen, and use the same key across devices!

[notpushkin]

> The goal of the lander is to get you to use the clubhouse. Not get you to become a contributor, or intrigued/turned away by their stack choice.

Yep! That’s the idea. When writing, think about what your users want to know. If there is some technical detail you want to clarify – show how it helps the user.

> use the same key across devices!

That’s easier for sure! But if I lose a device, revoking one key on every server/service is a PITA already, and reissuing and replacing it on every server and client is even more so. (Also, this wouldn’t work with HSM-backed key stores like https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive :-)
