      What a useless debate. Anyway they were asking why I was “condescending”, well if you shit on a voluntary work, just because it’s not at your taste, you are a shit person

        voluntary work doesn’t make you immune to criticism and no you’re not a shit person for criticizing any work.

        I’d say you’re a shit person if you can’t handle criticism though.

          Constructive criticism is different than talking shit. Still a useless debate

          Nice strawman btw

            talking shit is a completely different thing. and where’s the strawman? it feels like you don’t know what words mean.

              “And no you’re not a shit person for critizing any work” is the strawman

                  It is since I criticized only non-constructive criticizing and not critizing in general

                    I disagree. “It’s ugly” is valid criticism. It has the same value as “needs better/more appealing graphics”. You’re just annoyed it wasn’t sugar coded. In fact I’d argue the former is more valuable than the latter because it doesn’t beat around the bush and more importantly it points to a problem rather than the solution.

                    As a designer I find that most often customers don’t hit the mark by trying to design the thing themselves, telling me exactly what they want, essentially trying to do my job for me. Hearing the customer’s problems with it to figure out a solution on my own as a designer is better a vast majority of the time.

                    “I don’t like it” is bad. “I think it looks awful” is better. “I hate the colors” is best. I don’t really care about wording, I care about the information I get.

        I don’t give a shit if I’m a shit person for “shitting” on voluntary work. That is how progress is made. Sorry if it bursts your bubble.

        Besides, you speak as if I only typed “overall ugly” and left it there. As you can see, I gave more reasons. And all those are valid reasons.

          I couldn’t care less about you giving no shit about being a shit person for shitting on voluntary work. You could just have put the constructive criticism. Putting valid reasons doesn’t justify throwing in an invalid one

            Yeah that’s constructive criticism. “Your app is ugly, UI is laggy, the design is inconsistent” What else do you want? Drop code snippets? You clearly do give a shit judging by how triggered you got.

            And how is calling it ugly an invalid reason? The app looks ugly.
