HN comment orderUnfortunately, this has been abandoned :( Since more than a year, uploading an image or signing up just leads to a server error. Was really amazing when it worked. The creator hasn't been active on Twitter, GitHub, LinkedIn, HN, etc. either.
I used my pinned tweet (https://twitter.com/hyperpape/status/1050402656181735426) "Learning Perl6 is like being stuck in a small dark room with a bat that's flapping around wildly, and talking to the bat and slowly coming to understand what it is like to be a bat." and the results are quite good: https://same.energy/?q=Learning+Perl6+is+like+being+stuck+in.... I wouldn't say they 100% have the same energy in every case, but I enjoyed reading them.
Beta launched in February 2021: https://twitter.com/jbfja/status/1357129881683918848 Sometime at the beginning of this year (iirc) the upload image button started to throw a server error, and the creator (Jacob Jackson, founder of TabNine) appears to have vanished from the internet - no activity on his blog, Twitter, GitHub, or LinkedIn)
