@gunnargray Much cleaner overall but the discoverability of the swipe gesture is missing. Didn't clock you could do that until seeing this post, and have been tapping the icons each time (a worse ux than before). A small swipe action affordance would go a long way.

@JoeWelstead how about "guilt free hydration - just add to water"

the shift from diet coke -> water + oshun that the customer is expressing here is "i was doing something I know was bad but liked, and now i do something I know is good and also like for the same end result (hydration)".

@anothercohen massive amounts of pre-workout

@brian_lovin a passive notification would be best - visible but not interruptive or urgent looking

The golden ratio of thinking to doing is 1:9.

@reflectnotes @maccaw good to know, thanks!

[Alex Mcc @lexmcconnell]

@reflectnotes @maccaw curious if you are thinking of doing a teams version down the road?

[Alex Mcc @lexmcconnell]

@reflectnotes Keep up the great work @reflectnotes team, I use it almost every day now and love it more and more as time goes on.

@reflectnotes Thanks folks, let me know if i can help with debugging

[Alex Mcc @lexmcconnell]

@reflectnotes having trouble with the chrome plugin for highlighting pdfs viewed in browser. (ex. https://t.co/a6W324dNfo)

highlights aren't being autosaved, and when manually saving a new link is created with the url as 'chrome-extension://....'

Any clues how to resolve?

@GillVerd Take risks to make it grow

@PalmerLuckey the white and red version is 🔥

@zebulgar number 5 (personal inputs) and 20 (physical space matters) really resonate with me - also wish I had learned 29 much sooner (writing is thinking).

which one do you wish you had noticed sooner the most?

[Alex Mcc @lexmcconnell]

@Altimor I wonder if the downside/upside equation feels terrifying for most because we're just bad at exponential thinking.

Could a chess analogy could be applied to risk taking itself? i.e. the game is risk, the strategies are; cap downside, think in exponents, etc...

@BenjaminDEKR Confirmed as a bug by the API PM - hopefully fixed soon!

[Alex Mcc @lexmcconnell]

@ConradBastable @AbhayVenkatesh1 Yeah reasonable take for sure

[Alex Mcc @lexmcconnell]

@gdb in the current context, where'd you advise a novice eng to focus their learning? is it worth it to focus on small details when those can be implemented easily with the help of chatGPT?
