The way it's positioned now, I keep thinking there are comments when there aren't.

minor annoyance; on ios tapping into the comments of a rec requires hitting a very small area and sometimes my chubby thumbs miss it a few times before being successful : would be nice if you could tap anywhere between the number of comments and the little icon

I find myself instinctively looking at posts differently now that I see a like count, even though that should mean nothing to me.
The notification counter is similar. I would like to ignore it, but the numbers make that impossible.
I expect these things increase engagement statistics, and maybe that’s crucially important, but they make my experience worse.

when i comment on a rec and the keyboard pops up, the screen will like slide away from the comment box. even if i start typing, it keeps sliding away to a distant part of the page. i usually just try to manually scroll back to the comment box, but even then it still slides back down to the top or bottom of the page. i hope this makes sense!!!!!!!!

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“
This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will.
heres some of what I have so far:
- Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company.
- Strawberry jam
- feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently.
- A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love
- Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie
- Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk
- lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts
- small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
