Nicely done, Stuart!

// Jarrod Blundy — Terry Godier argues that App Store ratings are fundamentally broken: But sometimes they’re impactful in a way that doesn’t match the reviewers intent. For example, if you have a 4.1 star rating in the App Store, any 4 star review is going to decrease that average. In other words, leaving a 4 star review is essentially leaving a negative review. I agree with Godier’s premise and conclusion, but not totally with the point above.

The Last Quiet Thing Your possessions came alive. Now they won't stop talking.

Just read this essay by @terrygodier.bsky.social

I resonated with how every new product now is asking you of something. This inspired me to start wearing my mechanical watch more often than my smart watch

The CTA directly beneath the show I looked up says watch now. It’s styled like a button, even animated, and yet it’s no button. How can this possibly convert meaningful enough to be worth it?
