Crosscut ran into an error.
Please try a 10-finger reload.
If that proves unsuccessful,
you must delete Crosscut,
and lose all your work.
Would you like to say a few words?
No one will read them, but your feelings will be set free.i

03/29/2022, 5:33 PMBackstory — we had a retreat for all the lab folks back in December, and we were going to do some user testing of the prototype. But there were a bunch of really easy-to-hit crashes. (Still are — yay, prototypes). So as a quick hack, I added an input handler for 10 fingers that'd just run
location.reload()prompt()🙂 3
Turns out, people hit this error a lot, and there was a lot of venting. But it had the intended effect — laughter overcame the frustration of losing your work.

03/29/2022, 6:33 PMThe way Excel does "loops" it by smart autofill from examples. I feel like that would be the most natural fit...?
I don't know if this is impossible to implement, but I think my dream would be to just copypaste as many as I think I need, box-select them, then be able to edit the 'count' box to adjust dynamically.

(obviously there's a lot to love here, I skipped straight to criticism because it was presented as a FoC-nerdsnipe)

copypaste as many as I think I need, box-select them, then be able to edit the 'count' box to adjust dynamically.This would require 'count' to be more semantically aware, and count copied items as single entities.
