Server side rendering, misc improved performance, rearchitected home to fix navigation bugs

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.

On a long enough timeline it’s obvious that any impediments to activity will be removed.

Market creation should be a loan, first $10/market should be a loan, markets should have a “drop down” chart/text/last-5 bets, etc.

[All] Yay!

[A] Props to Stephen for getting this across the line. Millions of people read subtack. Big win.

[J] No algolia typo matches. Marshall made search buttery smooth

@JamesGrugett welcome Fede!

@ian I can actually find users now, thank you!

@JamesGrugett muuuuuch nicer experience!

[S] And it landed really quickly!

[D] Nice call here

@DavidChee or didn't double down enough???

[S] Retention is more reasonable!

[I] No longer stressed out looking at this.

[J] Keeps us grounded, gives us a goal to pursue.

[s] It's good.

@JamesGrugett tadaaa

[D] Could put embed bar on top.

[A] And now Figma can be embedded. Though we need to publicize this more.

[c] Bottom bar not that useable

[A] Have started clicking into these and discovered new markets.

maybe proof you should be able to subscribe to new questions in a group

[A] James worked hard on this.

[c] More of us should use it and work on it. Should track it more like we do the main site.

[A] Gets good forecasts on important topics. Proves our value. Should incorporate into messaging.

[F] We can replicate this on main site.

@JamesGrugett DAU there trending down now :(

@ian Same, really awesome

@ian also from Fede! looks very cool so far

Nice that this exists, but not sure we're getting that much value from these yet -- I don't see a lot of people actually embedding content, not even images

Welcome, happy to have you here at Manifold!

@JamesGrugett Got a lot of traction, doubling our DAU at one point, and helping a new audience discover Manifold.
