The website is great!

> I built a basic CNN trained against penises

After seeing it in action, my second thought (first was just watching my fish) was that I was amazed at the good behavior of the users because I would have expected a lot of penises floating around. Now I understand. Nicely done!

Actually most people aren't trying to submit bad fish! I was surprised to, it's really like 95/5 good to bad submissions. People seem to follow the rules on average :)

  • To be fair, you stop them from submitting the bad fish before they have a chance. I never submitted a fish that wasn't already 'green' for %

  • When I launched Twiddla, it was so common that we joked about adding them to the shape tool.

    I think it’s just human nature that that’s the first thing you try to draw on any online whiteboard.

I wonder if it's resilient against swastikas made of penises.

  • That was the Slack logo redesign.

    • My hot take is that the Slack logo is an Alphabet-product logo. The colors aren't quite right, but it's red/yellow/green/blue like an Alphabet logo. It would fit right into the lineup. It's particularly similar to the (obsolete) Google Podcasts and Google Photos logos.

      My pet theory (that I don't sincerely believe) is that this was deliberate to help smooth a hypothetical acquisition by Alphabet, before they were bought by Salesforce.
