About this app

The developer's US App Store description, in full.

"Procedure Manuals Are Novels" delivers one IT-industry maxim per day, dressed in the visual style of an ancient scroll: ink calligraphy, vermillion characters, gold-leaf accents. Maxim No. 1: "Procedure manuals are works of fiction." It is followed by one hundred and fifty-two more — including "The courage to simply say 'I don't know,'" "Eighty percent of work is absurdity and routine," and "Estimates are fantasy; invoices are reality" — 163 truths drawn from the absurdity, humor, and stubborn wisdom of life on the IT frontline. 【Key Features】 - Today's Maxim: open the app to receive the day's single maxim, presented full-screen with elegant ink-and-gold animation - Shuffled daily rotation: first launch shows Maxim 1; from then on, all 163 maxims appear in a non-repeating shuffle across a 163-day cycle - History: browse every maxim shown on days you opened the app - Favorites: tap the star to save the maxims that hit hardest - Browse all 163: swipe left or right on the home screen to flip through every maxim at any time - Rate on a 10-point scale: score each maxim from 1.0 to 10.0 in 0.5 steps. Votes are aggregated anonymously - Popularity ranking: see all 163 maxims ranked by average score in real time - Share: export the current maxim as a washi-style card image for messaging or social posts - Daily reminder: schedule a notification at the time of your choice to receive today's maxim - Sixteen languages: Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese (BR), German, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Russian, Italian, Turkish, Thai, Vietnamese — auto-switching with the device locale - Works offline: all 163 maxims bundled in the app 【Who It Is For】 - Software engineers, project managers, and salespeople in the IT industry - Anyone surviving consulting work, contracting, in-house development, or freelancing - Those who want a single sharp truth before opening their inbox each morning - Readers who prefer the unfiltered wisdom of the trenches over polished corporate platitudes 【A Note on Content】 This app contains expressions passed down within the Japanese IT industry, including self-deprecating, sardonic, and at times mature humor. All references concern workplace culture. [About Updates] New maxims are added from time to time, and existing entries may also be reworded or revised.
