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.

Get Ṁ600 play money

my dreams would have been much more settled had I never seen this

@FRCassarino Indeed.🐄

@FRCassarino What is this?

@FRCassarino I am very excited to see more visibility on posts. Maybe some surfacing on the main page. Manifold could also establish reward bounties for well done posts to help incentivize the community to make some!

@JamesGrugett Big fan!

bought Ṁ10

And trading bots in general

@SG I just wish that in future if an email option is added, and every other email option has been unticked, that it would default to also being unticked

moo

meta: we need "user is typing..." as a p4 feature

[S] we set a goal and fit it. I think we have product market fit now
[F] not quite yet, but were getting close [j] +1

[S] This is a big deal! We set a goal and hit it. Think we're at PMF

[F] Nah. But we're on the right track. Need to get to "can't handle the traffic"

@JamesGrugett much better experience now loading a market!

[J] Important to many users, and it was complex to implement

[S] Follower count has doubled?

[D] Over last 3 months 2-3 hundred to 550 now

[A] Impressed by how many people are tweeting about Manifold markets. It used to be very surprising and now it happens all the time.

[A] It's still early days for posts, posts encourage much richer content than just a single question on a market -- can start sponsoring writers, etc

might hurt seo certain search terms though (like "bet on brazil elections")

@FRCassarino Yeah -- great to get hundreds of upvotes and dozens of comments on the dashboards we've been posting to Reddit

[J] Posted on marginal revolution. Matt Iglesias posted screenshot!

[A] Every single one of our hackathon projects shipped! (And mobile apps will ship soon). All covered different areas. Explored things we wanted to explore. Super excited, best hackathon!

[i] Thanks for organizing Austin!

(dating docs, zapier integration, mobile app, spoilers, flagging resolution, comment bounties, cowp)

Yay!

[A] Got our name out there in the EA space. Makes us look competent, keeps them thinking about us. Association with people like Tyler Cowen.

[A] Is there another adjacent space where we can do this?

[D] Twitter has communities. Been posting in EA community there.

[J] Thanks to Alice for organizing Airbnb and boardgame meetup!
