    Isn’t the point of self-lacing shoes that they shouldn’t require manual user input at all? What is the app for then?

            It’s adorable you think “shoelace tightness” is all that app has awareness of.

        I don’t know why my first thought from this was Ruth Gator Binsburg. Now I just want something like a shitty_watercolor of that.
