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.

[A] Shoutout to David for noticing this, and engaging with them, asking for feedback. Helps us tailor our feature set. We should all be in the habit of talking to our users
[D] Had a specific use-case of orbiter stocks. Should keep in mind use cases when pitching to users. Like pitch World Cup markets
@JamesGrugett We didn't really do much to achieve this expect building a good site ^^
One point of reflection is that it was literally a single user sharing a link to a couple of markets and it organically took off. The biggest difference it seems to have is the fact that there was already a very specific use case people wanted to use it for (and also easier to advertise/share it by saying, "hey! come to this site and u can bet on orbiter stocks".
In the past we have maybe branded to much as: "Here is our site where u can do tons of different things on - shares a list of all it's potential use cases". Should start thinking more how we can target specific groups and brand heavily how they can do "x specific thing they are interested in" on our site.
@DavidChee Lot's of comments like this (~10+ over past week) on reddit. Most don't get many likes but a few have taken off.
