It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Is this a large group of cyclists or like a pedal powered bus shaped machine?

This is biking to school together as a group, on separate bikes

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ohhh, okay that does make more sense

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah I pictured one of those pedal powered pubs that you see in cities some times, but with children

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, exactly! I thought maybe the first few kids get more of a workout than the rest?

Their idea works, and is probably better, but our idea is more fun 😤

Is it just me or can you not fast forward-skip forward with loops...

I wanted to see a demo

They're limited to 60 seconds, so maybe the dev considers that low priority. It's still under heavy development, so maybe player controls will happen soon. Kind of silly to prevent your browser's native controls from working by default, though.

This is biking to school together as a group, on separate bikes. Not sure if that's what you're talking about

A peloton is a group of cyclists. The company simply popularized the word

Oh thanks, didn't know that!
