Where did we drop the ball? The point of this isn't to point fingers or assign blame, but rather to identify where our processes and strategy are not serving us well.

This time, I will actually resolve the market to a rough approximation of what I think actually didn't go well. Place your bets!

Manifold Team April Retro: What could have gone better?

Resolved MKT. Where did we drop the ball? The point of this isn't to point fingers or assign blame, but rather to identify where our processes and strategy are not serving us well. 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.

[A] would be nice track all user suggestions better.
[d] make it more like an inbox and keep it at zero?
[s] suggestions are not an inbox, we have the inboxes in our heads and on linear.
[A] would be nice to get it out of our heads

No good spam filter

[i] also messes with our metrics

[J] want to make more salient task prioritization. Maybe if we have more regular meetings on this, this would be better.

[s] we stopped for no reason

[A] yeah, this is a normal thing startups do and we aren't doing it for any good reason.

Felt a tiny bit overworked on Manifest/LK99

[D] would be great to have 3 of me during lk99

[A] maybe we should hire another David-like role?

[D] worked 18hours straight for a few days in a row. Every reply I did on twitter was great and effective.

[A] better to work crazy for a bit, then take a week off. Hard to hand off context on things.

[D] at least I'm used to it, similar to when working as a streamer

Improving new user onboarding flow sooner, to capitalize on traffic from viral tweets & ads

[s] we should be looking at activation rate and retention after we have a surge of new user signups.

Felt a tiny bit overworked on Manifest/LK99

Feeling better yet?

that multi resolution race condition was possible was bad. that it was fixed quickly and uneventfully, making the product better was good!

The eliezer vs destiny market was a cluster-frick

Ack, typo! I meant collaboration, not delegation
