My gripe is the 1/2 second pause between tracks, even when they're supposed to blend together, like between 3rd and 4th movements of Beethoven's 5th. Otherwise it's awesome.

I miss them too. On a 1920x1080 laptop display I can see the grayscale font smoothing as a blur which my eyes try to correct for. In order to make it tolerable I've turned off font smoothing globally. Ugly and jagged text gives me l

This seems like an item for "Show HN". https://news.ycombinator.com/show (Not trying to scold or anything, but seems like this would fit well with that convention.)

Seems like the kind of process you'd come up with while tripping on hallucinogenic mushrooms.

I've been using this app for several months without knowing what the "Go" feature was for. I guess I could turn it on and maybe help out other riders. Although if my phone is set to only get tower-level accuracy I don'

In 2025 the word "mean" no longer means "average", it apparently means "median". Amazing!

I hesitate to even post this, but I listened to the audio examples and it seems like this project was not yet a success. I'm not trying to be a jerk or snarky, but the reconstructed audio sounded terrible.

The 1984 BYTE magazine review said it was "clever, put together well, and performs some extraordinary feats" but "extremely frustrating to learn and operate efficiently." This still describes Word, 32 years later.
