It's not about being hideous, it's about being useless.

Your code is useless to anyone that wants to contribute, or maybe make something better by improving on the idea.

Good job! I love how you obfuscated your code, really in a spirit of FOSS!

burstw0won Miss your flip phone? people are ditching the smartphone for 'dumb phones'

The only thing i can think of that dumb phones do better than smartphones is battery life.

But even with that in mind it's not that big of a deal. My phones last for days because i literally use them only for calls and alarm, as i use my PC for everything else.
