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.

@JamesGrugett @Austin I have 102 referrals as of this morning!!!

[J] Marshall plan is underway~

[A] Shoutout to Alice for arranging the SF onsite, booking hotels, organizing events -- it's been fantastic to have the whole team together IRL

[J] Marshall works on a lot of these things behind the scenes, this makes the logged in experience much smoother

[i] Nice tool for us to see which markets get the most traction! [S] This tracks top of the funnel [A] Want to know the next steps, should we post more in these places?

[A] Not something we did, just happened. Going viral is good.

@Austin BTE has 61 referrals!

[J] Great feature that we followed up on and is helping Manifold go viral

Inga's revamped Manalinks, followed up with Stephen's idea of sharing QR codes, really made the in-person conversion experience quite smooth!

@SG New users actually use the pills! [i] How does the signed out homepage work? [J] Yes, hardcoded. [i] Change to trending?

[J] Big upgrade to underlying mechanism. More liquidity, more trading, better accuracy. [S] Might have stats to prove. [J] Volume charts missing, could have more tooltips. Better notifications.

@Alice Cards display which group they're in for easy access of related markets, also it's easier to add/remove markets to groups now

Specifically that people are starting their own groups and actively using them, and it's made the user experience more engaging!

More broadly, with @BTE creating a ton of markets and having them all take off and drive a ton of signups

which btw I only enabled, you did all of the real work!

@Sinclair Group Chat tips I think were this month at least

I thought these were last month?

@JamesGrugett seems like the pros love it and have seen a few bots making orders as well

@JamesGrugett + trending via unique bettors sort

@JamesGrugett The referrals text button is not actually public just fyi, I just added that so the owner of the profile and the admins could see referral details.

@SG This includes the new Home with pill button filters by group. Plus better search!

@SG Yup. Site got more polished, I think!

And @SG being an influencer this week making everyone join Manifold.

It's executed well! High bonus ($500), plus feedback in a notification, and displayed in user page.
