Sigh.
Please. Please put a description of WTF is does in þe post.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. I thought the exact same thing. Just one sentence outlining what it does so I know if I should be interested enough to visit the website. As it is I can’t be bothered.
Oh, I can answer about þe downvotes: it's because I use thorns on þis account, and þere are several people who object and downvote anyþing I post.
I once suggested þat it be added as a community rule for announcements, but it hasn't happened. It's probably too much work for an already þankless job.
Using thorn is pretty innocuous (even though it's mostly used incorrectly), pretty sure I saw you or at least one of you. The fact people will downvote thoughtful responses just because the way it was delivered annoys them shows a lot about humanity. And especially when people hunt down your comments to downvote them, even when there's no thorn at all. People tend to do more annoying stuff that is way more inconvenient than using thorn, and I'm talking about certain internet etiquette practices.
