I’ll start: while looking at app theming I came across WallRizz, renamed from WallWiz. I haven’t tried it, and looking at it documentation it seems well made, but I cringe at the name and the AI-generated penguin logo. It shares the art style of all the other AI slop, its basically italian brainrot but 2D. WallWiz sounds way better, rizz sounds like it was specially designed for gen alpha (little kids). If there are apps of even similar quality, why would I use this one?
What the other people said here. And I really dislike the projects which are somewhat open-source, but then they’re open-core only or not Free Software at all. That includes things like FUTO’s software like GrayJay. And I’ll leave once the developers/maintainers start nasty drama or pick on people or they turn out to be too much invested in the wrong political agenda.
Yeah, although it goes both ways. A piece of software with tons of effort put into branding gets eyed extra closely. Chances are its commercial software, which typically means it’s crappy.
For FOSS I don’t care that much if it has a bad name. But if the website seems sus (like with 8 different trackers), then I am getting out.
Yes, excessive emoji in the in the description is a massive red flag to me.
lmao, wtf
That’s language code em, emoji. There’s a bunch of real languages in the top-right corner.
There is excessive, then there is that.
Sure. More recently it’s been anything whose marketing is all or partially AI slop. Instant red flag. Person below mentioned emojis, ditto on that. Pretty much anything that looks too “slick” to me. If the name is something like “Leaf” it’s probably shit. If it looks like it was made by a team of 30 marketing graduates, it’s probably shit. If it’s called “UltimateRePak2K” and looks like an industrial tool that hasn’t had a graphics update since Windows 7, it’s probably an unbreakable great bit of software.
