What's on your mind?

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

How it’s better product design to have someone come to the site, do what they came to do, and leave (they’ll come back) rather than just spend time on site for the sake of it. 

For example: you should go to stack overflow, get your answer and leave immediately. That’s a success for them. Not just reading

There’s a counter-intuitive product insight in there though to still make someone able to come there and do the job to be done while also designing attention doom loops for the Vcs
