Appreciate you sharing! Public APIs for-the-public are super interesting. I'd love to see more creative uses of these APIs to keep our governments and politicians accountable.

Cognition and behavioral science is a heck of a thing. Having a better understanding of how the mind works is an underrated tool for product teams. In this writeup, I talk a bit about why 3-column pricing tables are ubiquitous, and the psychology behind it.

I am a huge fan of hardcover! I've been using it to recommend books to my friends and newsletter subscribers for a while now. It's gotten tons of great attention over the past few months, too.

Keep it up - and congrats on the launch!

SEO has become a crucial arrow in my quiver as a product builder. I thought I'd share the tools I use most often to monitor performance and grow my sites' traffic.

New comment by irreverentmike in "Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible"

irreverentmike — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 12:59:12 +0000

This has been slowing me down immensely. I would have figured an easy workaround would be to copy/paste any fancy markdown stuff I needed to use from my text editor or IDE, but that only results in completely unformatted text. At least slack is good with their /feedback command.
