Take time to reflect on what things we accomplished (individually, and as a team) that we're especially proud of!
This both gives us cause to celebrate, and also lets us double down on processes and ideas that are working~
Mostly, this market is for the Manifold team; don't expect the probabilities, etc to mean much other than like a subjective vote on how much you agree with a particular statement, or how much you want to discuss it.

this is mainly how I use manifold now: I check my notifs and then glance at the new markets and then leave
0

@ian I don't use notifications much. Main account has too many and is too laggy (straight up crashed mobile, takes ages to load on pc).
0
@SirSalty Me too. I liked Notifications a lot at first; now they're too slow to be super useful unfortunately.
But it's really good to not have to look through this in my emails

@ian I use them and like them! Checkboxes for finegrained notification settings
0

@ian I use them and like them, just want the ability to mute certain markets. More control in general.
0

@SirSalty Nah, notifications are great; haven't noticed David's problems. Should be one tab, though, not two.
0

@ian great feature. Still a little bit of UX churn needed IMO - one tab instead of two, clarify visually on the screen what spaces expand the grouped notifs vs linking to a comment/market - but overall a great addition to the site.

This is too high. We're biased cuz we're here and having fun, and capturing the value personally
0
A: open to ideas of how to use our sync / in person time better. S: impact easier to determine at the end.
Thanks to Alice for organizing this well!
0

@Austin respectfully, how does this impact anyone who isn't actually there?
0
@MattP Great question! As a remote team, we don't often have the ability to coordinate and get into meaty discussions about things like high-level strategy. That leads to the thing you commented on about scattered focus - the offsites are a time to recenter the team and agree on priorities and direction.
Also - we're here with a bunch of our users, so we can sneakily solicit user feedback in a higher-bandwidth context than through Discord text messages. (hopefully you can join us on one of our future offsites!)
And it's also a recruiting ploy - both directly (would love to convert some of the guests to full-time core team members!) and indirectly (many potential hires enjoy the idea of meeting the team in person)

[J] Marshall - moving these to v2 has made it a lot better. used to take 20s to bet; no more of that! Permanent improvement

(that was a completely sincere statement, in case it seemed snarky - apologies, tone hard to convey via text)

[i] Been seeing people using it, running into problems with it, rate limited. ScottLawrence in Boulder has been using it, making markets about the next feature will be offered through API
0
[i] Write API specifically - could be a big lift.
[c] Feature parity with Crypto - people can build better versions

I personally liked this a lot cuz my friends are running / helping with this. However, the impact is yet uncertain.
0
S: this is good! exact group of people we should be aiming for
D: seems like low number of markets. A: good for number of people (~18)

Slow burner thing - once people have networks fill out - when someone creates a market, there will be more uses for these networks. Right now: vanity metric of who's following you, can discover other people maybe? Still relatively minor

[i] Cool signal that people like it enough to contribute code. Even if it's not great, it's an interesting signal
0
A: we should probably get Marshall's input on this since he's merging stuff and has higher visibility

Great to have it all done quickly, and also championing the idea of groups.
Will see more realization of the work it after launch
