It's very interesting to think about how the data structure and API of the app interacts with its social function. How you organize the messages, what ways you can reply to people, what options you give to who. It feels like we've only begun to explore the possibilities.
- jimkleiber 5y agoExactly, and just how much those little design/infrastructural decisions impacts how we interact with each other. For example, how does no notifications on HN impact the speed with which people reply? I know I read your comment on my phone and despise replying on my phone, so luckily checked HN on my computer later and am replying now. Little things like that, I'm grateful you pointed it out.
- civilized 5y agoI know what you mean but I do a surprisingly large amount of mobile HN commenting anyway, lol.
- jimkleiber 5y agohaha mad respect to you
