Some thoughts:

* Menetrend? like in mean as in average? Unfortunately also has a slight connotation with a butchered version of MemeTrend...

* Is it just me who somehow isn't accustomed to seeing *.xyz domains used for serious stuff?

* Insights, reports and automations sound great, but how is this different from other solutions?

* Most importantly, which platforms are supported? TikTok? LinkedIn? Or only standard Twitter, FB, Insta? What do you mean by social media?!


Thanks for your review!

* Menetrend is the Hungarian word for scheduler. * .xyz domains are not really known for serious services yet, that's true. * So far the service is not really different from other solutions. On the whole, I want to follow the wishes of the future users. So far I have only worked on the basic functions. * Good point! Currently it is only Instagram. I should communicate that better.


What about Tip 8. "Provide consistently interesting newsletter content that provides value to readers and keeps them engaged and more likely to open your next newsletter based on the content they have previously enjoyed."?


Or combine tips 3 and 4 and keep it at 7!


Yes, that would be a fair addition.


I consider task estimation as part of Sprint Planning an interesting domain, as multiple people in a team with potentially vastly different experience levels and skills are involved.

MacIver points out "if you’re doing sprint planning, and you absolutely have to do it through estimating individual tasks", give three point estimates a try. Here is the Wiki entry for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_estimation

I guess explicitly recording the best-case and worst-case estimates might be interesting.


I don't think a PERT distribution accurately describes software estimates due to the upper tail being potentially infinite.

See figure 1-3 here for my mental model: https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/articles/article.aspx?p=...

(Pretty sure if this distribution has a name but I can't remember it)


One issue that could arise is that delivery managers could take the worst case estimations as an absolute truth and would think that no task could go over the worst case scenarios. I'm sure there would be a few tasks that would go over and would break planning.

But it could work if people are aware that even worst case estimates are not absolute truths and could go over the limit some times.

I'm glad they improved the placement of the side buttons to be more "normal", i.e. more like other mice. I think that was the thing that annoyed me most about the 2S.


I use the Apple Podcasts app frequently and have notified myself relying on the "Up Next" feature quite heavily. It seems to produce a steady flow of different, updated episodes from my subscriptions for me. I've never noticed "getting all of their episodes flooding your notifications", I guess I have notifications for the app muted?

I used to use the queue quite a lot, but got frustrated with e.g. political episodes that included current events which would no longer be super relevant after some time.


I agree that the exact error locations in tracebacks seem like the most impactful change here. Particularly in the light that Python is often used as an introductory language and unhelpful error messages are incredibly frustrating. Like this it feels like they can become more of a tool to improve!


I agree that MacOS seems to be missing some basics out of the box. Especially the lack of native support for tiling windows was annoying to me as well. I'm using https://rectangleapp.com (the free version) now for this, which works well for me.


Also, natively you can activate Cmd+Ctrl+Drag Window:

"Total number identified" is one of the pie slices, the other slices are subsets of this slice.


Fair enough, thanks.

The charts themselves would be better expressed as a Sankey flow, perhaps.


I guess being Warren Buffett's "dream" investment isn't a bad marketing pitch either :)


In his letter to the CEO he expressed skepticism that the myth of a geographically unique business had anything to do with the real value of their products, so in a sense it's the opposite of a marketing pitch.
