This whole thread is pointless. We all know the best innovation/trend of 2019 is the wowgo 2s electric skateboard. :triumph:

As a programmer, Iā€™ve learned how important it is to name things accurately. It saves so much work and effort and money later.

In this specific case, howā€™d you like if 2 years from now every single switch is labeled ā€œPush to Startā€ because the cheap China clones know thatā€™s what English words sell shit. Well, thereā€™s nothing you can do if it then arrives in the mail and itā€™s a ā€œpush to startā€ ā€“ you know, you push a button and it starts. Because if you search for ā€œpush to startā€ itā€™s universally known that means pushing a button.

ā€œRoll to startā€ is unambiguous.

He was designing the esk8 for years and now but he keeps mentioning how heā€™s talking to the persion whoā€™s making the whole thing. It will be totally different from the others like a true original thatā€™s not right off diyeboards shelf :man_facepalming:

But you push a skateboard.

And this switch makes the skateboard turn on when you push it.

Soā€¦ itā€™s completely logical right?

I actually talked to him on Instagram and he insisted that he designed everything from the ground upā€¦ I even sent him the link :smile: And the saddest thing is that there are people out there who actually buy those boards and think they got a good dealā€¦

Yeah ā€“ until you have no way to know if a switch does that, or doesnā€™t do that, because of namespace pollution.

Whatever, do whatever you want, I donā€™t give a shit.

You can also call shoes and gloves both ā€œlimb protectorsā€ but you wouldnā€™t want them all labeled that way, would you? Because then shopping for one is much more difficult.

Well if you price up the parts, as inferior as they are, and consider that thereā€™s at least some customer support and QC that went into them before they were shipped, it actually isnā€™t a ā€œbad dealā€.

Itā€™s still a shit board but its not a bad deal in the grand scheme of things :smiley:

thanks @b264 thatā€™s a good name for this product.

Yes and noā€¦ I actually donā€™t think that there is a ā€œnewā€ QC in comparison that diyeboard already had. I think the boards get produced at the same factory with the same qcā€¦ :slight_smile:

:rofl:

Iā€™m having the time of my life!

Thatā€™s true but at least thereā€™s a pass through haha. They might spot a wheel missing or a deck snapped in half!

Totally off topicā€¦ Donā€™t worry I can flag all of it :relieved: :point_up:

To be fair, I legit think the push / kick push /roll to start switch is a cool innovation. Maybe we should name it hands free switch. Still 3 syllables!
