LOC might not be the most useful metric in the universe, but it still provides useful information and can be a lot of fun.

The site is definitely fun :). I was baffled at first; took me a while

Thanks for reports `gunn` and `caius`!

You should never use an abbreviation/acronym in a product name without at
least a simple definition of what it means in your description.

And you *really* should not use the term to define the term, for instance:

"LOCat is a fancy LOC code analysis too."

If you had no idea what LOC means; after reading that description you still
would have no idea. Worst of all someone might actually know the
abbreviation/acronym but it doesn't register when they read the app's name
and the description doesn't make it any clearer so you've just lost a
potential user.

All that being said I can't wait to see the SLOCat app that encompasses both
LOCat and the heLLOCatty libraries.

And no, I'm not going to define the terms either. ;p

Fair point. I just didn't think of it since I have known "Lines Of
Code" such a long time. I will update description. Thanks.

Oh nos! I had to google LLOC! :slight_smile:
