There are a lot of studies that proof that darkmode during day is straining eyes much more. In the night dark mode is better. But most of the "day-to-day" user are working during day.


"bew is web in reverse, similar to how deno is node reversed. "

Deno is an anagram of node, not reversed :)

But looks nice, will have a look at it!


Well, it is reversed in a sense, in that it is "no, de" reversed, it's just not reversed character-by-character. I'd agree that's not generally how we used "reversed" for words, but it tracks more generally, you can reverse something without necessarily breaking it down into its smallest possible parts.

For example, that "Pets a dog" reversed could be either "Dog a pets" or "God a step", obviously words are a more natural breakpoint though.

To really try too hard, in Japanese it'd be something like ノデ so it would be reversed character by character as it'd be split like that (not a Japanese speaker, so take with a lot of salt, I imagine it'd actually use another character to sound more like the English pronunciation of node).


In Japanese, it's ノード, which is no-do.


Makes sense, closer pronunciation.


Thank you for the correction, I already updated the text!


Hi everyone!

Mi name is Florian - UX Designer, Web developer and Hardwareguy - and I stumbled upon a problem at work and tried to find a solution for that:

At work we are using a shared coffeemachine with a coffee tally sheet to track who is drinking coffee. One of my colleagues is buying the coffee and we are paying him each month. He is counting the coffee's per person, sending them an email and often telling them paying strange amounts of money (5.75€ or so).

We thought we can do that better, so I build a simple device that tracks the consumption through our Company ID card. Every user gets notified when the consumption is reaching a predefined threshold (like 5€) to pay the person that's buying the coffee (capsules in our case). It is cloud connected for easy access and can be extended by additional terminals too.

Our department was quite happy with it and other departments requested this solution after they saw our small gadget too. :)

In the future I plan to bring some fun and useful features to the coffee pal like: - Use your fingerprint instead your company ID Card - Coffee subscription: Get your favourite coffee automatically per mail, based on your consumption - Newsletter about your coffeeconsumption - Extend for tea, snacks and more - Connectivity through 3G for hassle-free setup. - and a lot more ;)

Now my question: Do you think such a solution could be nice for your workplace too? I know that a lot of companies are providing coffee for free, but at least in Europe a lot of my friends told me about the same problem at work.

If you are interested in this solution I would be very happy if you show your interest at the bottom of the page. I‘m curious if other people would need such a solution too.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day :)


FYI: I'm having the same problems. Especially the click effect on buttons is really laggy (Testing on Chrome). That's really annoying as you see it all the time.

Having a 2017 MacBook Pro, 2,9GHz I9, 16GB RAM and an Radeon with 4GB. So my Hardware shouldn't be the Problem. Maybe some Chrome/MacOSX Bug?


Could be it, I'm on a i7-4770K with Win10 and Firefox and no lag at all anywhere.

I don't have a Mac so I can't test it on MacOS I'm afraid..


You also can simulate the devices with the chrome debugger?
