Update
Hey! Thank you for checking out Brogrammer and giving us honest feedback. I just wanted to give you all a quick update. A lot of ...

But isn't that "Bro" part very exclusive? O_o
Women can be bros, too. 😉
I know many females who are better bros than their male counterparts.
"bro" usually indicates a toxic culture. Long hours, no breaks, fixation on "masculine" activities such as competitive fitness (heavier weights, more reps). It's a hard pass from me.
I'm sorry if the name having the term "bro" in it is such a huge turn-off for you. It's meant to be humorous, even if it didn't come off as humor to some folks. If you use the app, I think it will be pretty clear that it has nothing to do with toxic culture. I hope you give it a try.
I completely agree..it immediately sends me the message that the app's not meant for me. Which could be a conscious product choice and that's okay, but if that's not the case, this is very exclusive. It also reinforces the stereotype that programmers = men.
new title idea: "Bro-grammers and develop-hers"!
I dig it haha.
It's used in a very tongue-in-cheek manner. We never meant it to sound exclusive/offensive/toxic. 😅
I agree. The name and design is very exclusive so it appears you are only target cis-gendered men. The idea is great but is very exclusive. Making it more inclusive widens the market.
I think we could definitely work on that. Thank you for checking it out and giving feedback. ☺️
I think an app or project to help encourage people to be fit is a fine idea.
But I think the name and the graphics are a really bad idea.
This image is feeding into the idea that software developers and engineers are all men, and that's neither true nor helpful for anyone.
Sorry it comes off that way. I think we could definitely improve on those fronts. The name and graphics were both used in a very tongue-in-cheek manner.
Do you have any suggestions related to the features/functionality of the app?
My guess that you didn't know that this term has rather a negative connotation.
This term is typically associated with Silicon Valley culture.
This concept is really great, and could help people stuck in their chairs without realising the damage they do to themselves, regardless of the gender of a particular user!!
Its sad to see, how an open source initiative of good will can fall victim of people with inferiority complexes and instead of realising the value and encourage the author, they create this toxic environment while twisting details that the autohor wasn't even aware of.
I still don't get why companies think, that after six hours someone would still be capable of producing quality output on a constant basis.
Exactly. Putting in more hours almost never equates to more productivity, and even if it does, it's increasingly diminishing returns.
