“And it's fucking useless” would have at least been honest

This is clickbait. The app does two things, there's a do nothing and a do one thing button. That's TWO things, not one. One thing would be ONE button.

0 star review. Developer should be ashamed of himself and should never ever build another thing ever again.

You're doing it wrong. Counting doing nothing as something is incorrect.

Doing nothing counts as not a thing and doing a thing counts as one thing, which is what it says it does.

It may have two dot points, but only one of them is something.

If I tell my wife I was busy all day because I was doing nothing, she would say you did not get one thing done today, and she would be right.

Well if the only thing you did was nothing, that would be one thing, but you also said you were busy all day, which is a whole other thing.

I’m not happy with the learning curve. Can we get an onboarding self-guided tour upon first use?
adnjoo 22 hours ago [-]
Absolutely. We’re currently designing a 12-part onboarding flow using AI-powered nudges, a contextual chat assistant, and an animated raccoon mascot named Doofy. ETA Q3 2026.

In the meantime, please feel free to explore the button at your own pace.

Please don’t do a half-assed job. If you’re not adding Gamification, don’t bother with the rest either.
adnjoo 14 hours ago [-]
Half-assed? Sir, this is a zero-ass product. That’s the whole point.

WTF mf, why are so many lines and fancy tech for do nothing button?

Last week we had an entire game of DOOM in a QR code... I think someone can get us "Do nothing" in less than 300 lines of code.

I'm sure someone can get it smaller than this (save as .html)

  <input id="i">
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Now do '+i.value">Do This</button>
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Do nothing'">Do Nothing</button>
  <label id="l"></label>

    data:text/html;,<input id=i><button onclick="l.textContent='Now do '+i.value">Do</button><button onclick="l.textContent='Do nothing'">Nope</button><label id=l>
Will work in your browser if you copy/paste it. Or as a QR code: https://d1yei2z3i6k35z.cloudfront.net/2914/6815454b25323_qr-...

You forced me to stand up and write the code. Here is your cross-platform desktop app in 10 lines, pretty sure others can do better than me:

    package main
    import (
     "fyne.io/fyne/v2/app"
     "fyne.io/fyne/v2/widget"
    )
    func main() {
     w := app.New().NewWindow("One Button App")
     w.SetContent(widget.NewButton("Do Nothing", func() {}))
     w.ShowAndRun()
    }

You only need two Tcl statements, shown here on one line for the sake of this pissing contest:

button .b -text "Do Nothing" -command {exit}; pack .b

honestly this joke is pretty played out at this point - you need to put more distance between your app & the initial idea, otherwise it feels a little too much like a soulless rehash / pale clone of the original.
antisthenes 12 hours ago [-]
The ultimate irony, of course, is that you turned something that 100% did not need to be an "app" into an app.

But good job nonetheless.

I click "Download the App" and fuck all happens. How the hell did you fuck up that simple app?

Yikes! Sorry!

Yikes indeed! we'll move it thither

(Thanks for watching out for a fellow user! This would have sent the mods awry otherwise...)

That was intentional. The real download was the silence you felt inside.
titaphraz 3 hours ago [-]
There is never silence. Software buttons can do two things, a) what they say they do, or if not, b) trigger my rage response right away.

Lord jesus fucking christ. I love this motherfucking shit.

Finally, someone gets it. It’s not an app. It’s a vibe engine.

Yeah also I'm really tired of lazy takes on a concept for a joke.
