your neighborhood software girl here. none of this should be a priority now, especially not stuff like circles and video. instead:

- first-class accessibility
- app-based auth code 2FA
- notification tab needs a deep rethink
- search needs investment (this includes tags as part of feature work)
if you're running bluesky what's your priority ranking of circles, DMs, functional threads, and videos/gifs?

@marthawells.bsky.social I never thought I would like books called "The Murderbot Diaries" until I got a set from Humble... now it's my comfort-listen (the audio versions are excellent) and I reach for one whenever I'm stressed or unhappy. Thank you so much for these.
