Heh, I used beads at first too. And I even tried his gastown earlier this year when he released it.

I'm seriously surprised he got as much traction as he did with those projects.

Beads was mostly fine at the beginning, but gastown was just a complete jank-stival

It almost never actually worked. The getting started never got you a project which was correctly configured - and if you did try to fix it... Well, it stopped working a few hours to days later when another vibe delivery crashed the party

Also, just keeping it open on idle - with no interactions - churned through the $100 subscription 5 hour session within roughly 2 hours. Just to reiterate: with no interactions beyond having the mayor open

I dimly remember someone mentioning that he used the users sessions to work on gastown itself. Dunno if that was true or fake news as that was just a random commentors claim - and I already moved on from that experiment by the time I read that.
