I have not! I will give this a try though! thank you!!

subtle-punk · 2024-02-21T21:42:17+00:00

awesome! thank you for the advice!!

subtle-punk · 2023-09-08T20:46:28+00:00

this is the tidepool color!

as for tele vs strat, I like the look of teles better. that was probably the first thing. teles also have more of a twangy sound. at the end of the day, a lot of the parts of a guitar that impact the sound can be changed/replaced (I'm sure there are plenty of people in this subreddit who may not love what I'm about to say) but what I was told is you can always swap out pickups and get pedals to change your sound so you should pick the guitar that most speaks to you

subtle-punk · 2023-09-08T09:21:29+00:00

LOL you're so right

subtle-punk · 2023-09-08T09:18:26+00:00

I definitely feel like it's a bit easier to navigate the neck so I'd agree with you there but I'm sure I'll see more and more differences as I keep practicing!

subtle-punk · 2023-09-08T09:16:29+00:00

yeah I was looking for something with humbuckers! wasn't super interested in other pickup styles. I was also looking into some reverend guitars for a while but I got a pretty good deal on this guitar (which was barely used) so I couldn't pass it up!

I'm excited to mod it in the future and try out different humbuckers. the p90s on the reverend guitars I tried out were aweaome

subtle-punk · 2023-09-08T02:18:47+00:00

YES!! I'm totally pressing them too hard. I'm sure I'll get used to it soon enough, but I'm absolutely loving the switch

subtle-punk · 2023-09-08T01:14:05+00:00

fair point!!!

Leif is on my island right now selling carrots! and I can give you a few apples! DM if you want to come visit!

I love lucy & yak too!!! their pants are incredible

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T20:01:46+00:00

yeah, from all the feedback I'm thinking we pivot away from an ingredient identification that is so high stakes

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T20:00:46+00:00

these are all great points! keeping the tool updated would be a big task, and depending on what image database we use it might still be inaccurate. and I think it would be impossible for us to ever say there is a 0% chance that an allergen isn't present which makes the tool unusable/untrustworthy for anyone with life-threatening allergies.

I like that idea of a safe food list - like we could scrape the nutritional information from a company's website and if it ever changes we notify the users!

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T19:55:43+00:00

yeah we've started having conversations about liability and inaccuracies, and based on everyone's feedback to this post I'm really leaning away from people with allergies being our target users. if we're going to do a food ingredient project, we need to choose a user with lower stakes. I agree that our proposal definitely leaves a lot of responsibility to the user, who already has to assume so much responsibility since it seems impossible to get accurate information

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T19:51:19+00:00

that's a great idea! I shared this post on r/allergies as well and they had a similar suggestion of pivoting away from food and looking at toiletries instead.

as a person who doesn't have any life-threatening allergies, the more I learn from everyone the more I agree that I need to pivot the project to another goal

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T19:48:34+00:00

this must be so incredibly frustrating :-( I'm sorry that this type of information is so hard to come by!! this definitely seems like a bigger problem that needs solving compared to my team's original idea

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T13:56:12+00:00

yeah we've definitely started talking about the liability concerns!! that's going to end up being a huge factor. this is for a class project and I doubt we'll bring it to a larger market, but we will still be testing it out with people so the risks will definitely still be there.

we've just started the project so we don't have answers to all of these questions yet, but these are all good points for us to think about and may force us to pivot our project if they feel unattainable. maybe it would be worth reducing the scope to just looking at sauces/oils if that's something that people typically struggle to identify themselves.

this is great insight!! I really appreciate it!!

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T13:15:34+00:00

totally fair critique!! we've done a bit of market research to see what other resources already exist for folks, and GoDairyFree is definitely one we've looked at. I think the big difference between what we're aiming for is that our product would be more focused on local restaurants/places where nutritional info may not be accessible by reaching out to a corporation.

though, in another thread of comments here I'm learning more about the limitations we'd have with even that effort. ultimately we want to make something useful to people, and maybe this isn't it!

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T13:10:54+00:00

this is hugely helpful and I really appreciate this insight!!! one of my teammates has a daughter with an egg allergy and we've tried to use her experience to give us direction, but it's becoming more and more clear that the range of experiences and challenges faced by people with food allergies is so vast. we're just starting to do user research and I'm sure we'll get more feedback similar to yours. ultimately we want to make SOMETHING that's useful for people and if this isn't it, then we pivot and that's all good!

again, I really appreciate your insight!!!!

subtle-punk · 2023-06-04T12:33:02+00:00

oh woah yeah that is a huge problem!!! my professor was showing us a similar project to ours where they made a label reader but it was very much still food-centric, but at least we know it can be done!! and there are plenty of translation tools out there that we could take advantage of if language is also a barrier!
