Congrats! The product looks very promising and I know people who would use this all the time. One feedback I have is to pre-load a demo label so that we can see it inaction without having to find a label.

Another anecdote on the other side of this: I've been driving since I was 15 for many thousands of miles and have only been involved in two incidents. Both my fault involving icy roads, but both where so minor that only paint damage occurred (no insurance involved). I live in the north-eastern United States for reference. Edit: I wouldn't say that my driving style is cautious either, I do drive attentively though.

There are a lot of alarmist comments here - but the direct effect on humans is minimal up to 10,000ppm[1]. The effect on the environment on the otherhand isn't easy to predict.

This is one area where I think the cosmetics for purchase model makes sense. It could be seen as a way to support a creator in a built in way as part of an app. For many free projects it can be easy to overlook the fact that someone has poured their time and effort into it to make it happen, especially if they don't have "ads" that are asking directly for donations.

I wouldn't let that column turn you away from Gladwell's work. He's a thought provoking author that covers relevant issues with a captivating style. As the writer of this column points out, it shouldn't be taken as scientific research, but more as philosophy with scientific undertones.

Normally I'd recommend a gym (I also don't have space in my apartment) but that's not realistic right now. I've found in the past that the doorway bars that hook around the structure work pretty well, and some cardboard will prevent scuffs.

Looks and feels pretty solid. I would recommend changing the document title, as it still reads "React App"

What's interesting is that this is the exact attitude that the article is critical of. One persons perceived closed mindedness should not preclude them from sharing and refining their ideas in an academic setting, and being accepted as a member of the academic society.
