   Thanks for the original quote. I'm more used to hearing it as productivity: once you think you're 90% done, you're halfway there.

   Maybe this is a good thing. My current Mac app will remain a "pure" Twitter app and I won't have to worry about it updating to include promotions, suggested tweets, and needless features (unless "stop supporting" me

   I also ended up with "mail.substack.com" (along with mail@substack.com) while testing. I couldn't see an admin site, but I did get a confirmation email. Please delete the account (and my apologies for the hassle).

   Take a look at medium.com. I think their homepage is too heavy with content, but is comparable to your biz model.

   Also, you guys should make a better blacklist for account names. I was able to claim "blog.substack.com". (It's ok to delete that account). https://github.com/marteinn/The-Big-Username-Blacklist

   I think subdomain user accounts are going to be an issue over the long term.

    Sounds like the team lacked a UX designer, probably as well an experienced software product manager. Testing conversion rates is UX 101.

    They're not used for formal communication. Emoji are used more for informal / familiar conversation. Adding a cake emoji to "Happy Birthday" in Slack is nicer than plain text. Younger-staffed start-ups will use emoji alo

    I've always recommended getting a "Pro" or Mini and recommend avoiding the iMac completely. Throwing out a huge, decent monitor simply because you need more processor power and/or storage is (sorry) asinine.

    I have a hard time believing they'd give up the top nine floors, just to salvage the project. I'm betting they used it to get the extra height (as part of a public space requirement) with the unspoken goal of reclaiming those floo

    If you own an older MBP, you can pretty easily upgrade the SSD to bigger storage. I have a 2TB SSD in my 2012 MBP. If you own a newer non-upgradable MBP, you can easily sell it and get an older model with almost the same features - but also
