Yeah, its supposed to be "forum". I work in a form heavy industry and thought this was going to be a solution aimed at that :/ And I thought it was by Google for a second.
I have done some work in Java and Javascript. It was all done with hate. If there was any love there, it was for the paychecks I got at the end of each month.
At the last company I worked for, we used Salesforce as our database and source of truth in one of our web applications. It was exactly as horrible as it sounds :)
they make me cringe too , but i often question myself if feeling this way is my own fault.
What is wrong with loving code or loving a little project? Do we all wanna be seen as hardcore devs that do this work cause we are forced to? I'm not attacking just a question I'd like to pop out there.
Yeah this is the thing. Especially for projects built in off-time, this feels like people expressing "I code for others for money, but this I gave up my time for because it makes me happy."
As an advertising statement -- "built with love" -- means nothing to me as a consumer. If there is nothing more interesting to tell me in that space, then it suggests there is some kind of lack in the product.
All I care about is the value, quality and cost of the product.
It is very cringey though. It's no real indication of how much love went into it, and just comes across as an attempt to stand out and appeal to hipster impulses.
As someone who doesn't know or use python but just knows about it, I thought love was some kind of a python framework as frameworks tend to have weird names.
Please don't pay attention to the negativity. It is a nice project. I really like the GUI. Oh and its a tornado based project, which is cool. The logo is really cool also. What font did you use for it?
Gees, thanks for that!
I kept wondering if it was something to build 'forms' ... and the list of features didn't seem to jive with that assumption of mine.

BTW: These colours remind me of something, I can't put my finger on it :)
Perhaps the logo for Super Mario Bros...
Hehe!
So if it's been de-Buntu'd, I guess it would be .... Debian?
It usually seems to mean: "The app doesn't do very much yet, so we had room for plenty of UI whitespace and 18px fonts."
"Cool, so what does it do?"
"It prints Jacob is a loser nerd in large ASCII art characters, over and over again."
"..."
"The message is hard-coded for now, but I'm planning to make it customizable next time I get angry at someone."
It's pride in work. Nothing wrong with that.
[1] I've seen too many website footers that say "Handcrafted with love in (San Francisco | New York | Portland)".
All I care about is the value, quality and cost of the product.
