more europeans are killed from not having AC/heat-related deaths than both of those.

I don't think any of these are apples to apples comparisons tbh your point still stands without the extreme analogy.

I mean are you in the hood or not?

Easy for you to say this if you're from Happysville, CA, USA, but if you're near Oakland or SF you know these kids DO form "gang"-like groups and block traffic, the bridge, swerve through traffic.

It's chill if the kids near you are respectful but the reason Gen Z as a whole ride these bikes is because they actively want to ride fast like motorcycles without license or registration.

I still see them in North and South beach driving with at least no human behind the wheel, maybe a remote operator, at ~2-3am

noted! will whip up a desktop view soon. we love our PCs too, but we're less experienced at front-end development which is why we did mobile first and classified the product as "pre-alpha"! Appreciate the feedback though.

we definitely are new to dapp development, and are learning as we go so we really appreciate the specific feedback! we completely agree with your points on the friction in signup, and will change the design of the site to reflect that. Also thanks for the centering tip we didn't think of that! :))

hey, Shiv here, the other dev for the project! just pushed an update to expand the mobile viewport to support devices up to 800px wide, but we haven't actually done any styling for that size yet, so there may be some kinks. We'll work on getting an update with a true tablet view out soon!
