Hundreds of thousands, in fact. But I bet it’s a downward trend with no hope of a turnaround.

I am fairly indifferent to Slack - I have to use it for work.

But our experiences seem so vastly different: - UI is, with the exception of large media, snappy and pretty native feeling - no jumps (that I can recall)

The mobile app is okayish though its offline indication and notifications are a bit frustrating.

What machine are you running it on?

"Now you have a voice you are a terror of demands"

Made me smile - great line.

I did read that but I don't think I am/was in ketosis - I've eaten a fair amount of carbs (rice/pasta/potatoes).

On a desktop it was fairly comfortable - on mobile it was too fast to sustain/process the information beyond seeing the words.

Kind. Thank you.

Have fixed - let me know what you think.

Give it a go on a desktop monitor - it should be a lot slower. The nature means smaller screens will scroll faster - I'm pushing a change shortly that will mean the sync isn't as accurate but it'll be nicer to view on all devices.

Thank you :-)

There actually is a small icon on the bottom right (removed on mobile) but I obviously made it TOO subtle!

I have pained over this for a while and tried to find a happy medium...but on reflection and walking away for a while, I think it is slightly too fast. Will update.

I have a very simple setup using 11ty (https://rory.codes) - but nowhere near as simple as this. Very impressive!

Assuming this isn't snark - because if I am looking for a tool to do a job, seeing an immediate visual representation of what I am likely to expect is very helpful. I don't want to go through the full installation to view a demo and then immediately realise it was not remotely close to what I was expecting.

Send me a message (email is on rory.codes) and I can get the ball rolling very quickly.

I find it interesting there is no major mention of the failed Europe/Africa expansion. It was a great program that launched my career as well as many others - but God behind the scenes was insanity.

Have you seen some of the nutrition "drinks" and replacement shakes that MANY (including the NHS) recommend for IBD sufferers? It's utter insanity.

A fun challenge - try and do nothing.

I did it on the way to Singapore and it was, eventually, bliss. No music, no book, no film, nothing. I just sat.

I look forward to finding out if we agree or disagree.

Again, interesting and useful points - thanks.

I think the tone is a little sad, but I suppose it is hackernews after all!

I appreciate the input.

Interesting - I've seen quite the opposite. That isn't to doubt your observation/experience, of course.

I've seen extremely competent technical managers be utterly unable to manage humans and try and impose their own technical decisions on those who are more than capable of making them themselves - all at the expense of what I would consider to be the 'real' management work.

Additionally, "Awful engineers who are people people are not adequate management material." - nobody made mention of awful engineering in my question and I would suggest I am far from that.

Currently learning French for fun (c'est difficile!)

Professionally learning a lot about Kafka and Event Sourcing.

Personally trying to learn how to raise a happy and healthy child in anticipation of my first born, who is imminent!

How about you?

Good question - for my own purposes I'd rather be conservative but you have a very valid point.

Great idea - is it online anywhere?

Ha - yeah they are indeed.

Thanks for the recommendation - I just got back from the local bookshop and managed to grab a paperback copy.

Looks great - I love the design.

That's good to know - thanks. I am using a library called React-Tooltip and even on a very high spec computer it doesn't feel as fast as I would like. I will investigate!

You may be right! I would argue that these charts, which typically depict weeks, have been of interest to me from around 2008 when I saw a Calvin & Hobbes version on Tumblr.

That being said, it is probably no coincidence that I made this soon after my Dad passed away. Though I think it is likely also the impending birth of my first child contributing also.
