This isn't surprising to me. I'm on Topamax as an appetite suppressant & I notice a similar effect. A lot of the time a Soylent will do the trick, or a small snack that can't even be considered a meal.

It looks like today, 9/28, the AI generated content is filtered out automatically, kind of nice to know it's all organic.

I had to "Like" my own post, a bit redundant.

I'd like to be able to simply vote for a product. If you already can, I'm missing the UI where you can do that. There's a cool one for a woman that I wouldn't use but is so good I want to vote for it.

You could clarify that by putting it in a box called recurring revenue or annual revenue or just revenue. I don't know the right term for that.

I like it. I've wished for something like it in the past. I'd like to see it get widespread popularity.

Some things:

I set my price at $100 per use, but I see there's a $20 per year in my listing along with it. Not sure where that came from.

Also, location info would likely be helpful- if someone opens/starts my idea elsewhere that's great for elsewhere, but doesn't help me.

At the bottom of the page where I'm scrolling through the list of tiles I can't tell there's more unless I scroll or I look at the scrollbar. The way the footer blends together at the bottom now doesn't look right to me.

I think the header should be locked like the footer is so when you scroll it stays visible, the part with the tags, not the account one. Maybe if the account one were to become visible on scrolling up from anywhere, but the tags one should stay locked visible like the footer is.

I think the items in the footer belong at the top.

This seems like the kind of thing where RSS feeds would be helpful to keep people up to date on trending stuff.

Thanks so much for building this & making it available. I haven't been this excited about a website since the internet was brand new!

If you were to build a WiFi digital picture frame that periodically displayed top entries from https://old.reddit.com/r/Cinemagraphs/, I for one would want to buy one. Or three.
