Can we collectively stop using the word "beautiful" for app descriptions. It is so overused and now effectively meaningless. Besides, beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder, not the creator trying to put words in other peoples' mouths.

If you are aiming for 'beauty' (whatever that actually means), then build it to a high standard and let other people find the words on their own accord.

We're building this app for us, our friends and our community, and if we collectively find it beautiful, then it's objectively beautiful. :)

    All I'm saying is to not contribute to rendering the word meaningless by putting it in other peoples' mouths. If what you built is truly beautiful then people will call it as such without your prompting.

      Respectable opinion, but not accurate from my point of view because we could say the same for powerful or any other adjectives!

        Yes, they are overused as well. I would love it if people would tone it down with the adjectives.
