If you have to monitor your employees’ keyboard activity, you have a hiring problem.

Hmm, I’m not sure that’s a great comparison…Brainfuck is deliberately complex, and certainly not designed for learning.

To be clear, I’m not saying high schoolers shouldn’t be learning more complex languages.
My main point is that Scratch should not be stigmatized. It can be a good introduction to get kids “hooked” :-)
Harvard even uses Scratch in their CS50 course!

Thanks for the suggestion! Someone else had the same great idea. https://github.com/jonathangarelick/SoundSeer/issues/25
Unfortunately, that particular feature will require Spotify to give me additional approval, which requires 6 weeks (or more, unfortunately). I will try my best to add this as soon as possible.

Thank you for the feedback! I am currently exploring how to monetize while doing right by my free users.
Some more advanced integration with Spotify (Liking songs, for example) requires approval by the Spotify team which can take up to 6 weeks. I can gate this and additional cool stuff behind payment. Right now I am considering $2, but frankly, I am new to this so I am not sure how to price it. Any additional thoughts are welcome.

Thank you! :-)
So, I built an agent to help remind me -- it's a subscription based service that sends you updates every morning, and stores your preferences so it can learn what you like.
