    Not sure why you'd use this sketchy vibecoded proprietary app over the same thing that's open source and existed for a while

      Unless you&#x27;re selling to grandparents over 50-70, nobody says yj_nearbyclasses or &quot;Nearby Glasses&quot;.

      &quot;ZuckOff&quot; is a better quality marketing name for an app like this, vibecoded or not.

      The media and already consumers have talked more about &quot;ZuckOff&quot; than &quot;Nearby Glasses&quot; so a winner has already been chosen.

        Your comment shouldn&#x27;t be downvoted for misunderstanding the hypothetical; you give a correct answer why &quot;people&quot; would choose ZuckOff. The question was why &quot;you&quot; (an individual from the Hacker News audience) wouldn&#x27;t use yj_nearbyglasses instead.

          True, but as far as that goes the question was a pointless one. Whereas the one that was answered has the potential to lead to productive conversation.
