Yes! The previous approach has some quirks, so I'm trying to figure out a better way this time. Will do some rubberducking in t.me/wipruby

Find your emoji quickly without tears.

I like the start of the sentence, but I'm not sure how well the "… without tears" translates. I'd go with something more standard like "Find your emoji with ease"

Endlessly looking for the best emoji? Dealing with useless animation from emoji picker? Then give up with using emoji even though that's how you uniquely communicate? No more!

This seems rather long and doesn't give the reader much additional information.

Rich Vocabularies

Difficult word for a simple concept. I think the word you're looking for is "synonym". The GIF next to it does a nice job explaining the concept though.

Mumu shows several options that might be matched with your preference. It remembers which emoji you choose, so that you could find it quickly in the future.

I'd change this to something like "Mumu becomes smarter over time. It learns your favorite emoji and what words you use to search for them."

I prefer how the native picker looks and shows the context of what you're typing. If I understand the GIFs correctly then Mumu blocks what I'm typing. That seems rather annoying.

I would positioned it as a repalcement for the default the default emoji picker, but for power users. Similar to how CleanShot positions itself as a replacement for the default macOS screenshot functionality.

One thing that's missing from the landing page is a proper screenshot. All images are cropped. I want to see what the app looks like in the context of a full macOS screen.

Overall I really like the landing page. Seems really clean.

Getting feedback you disagree with is great. That's the most useful feedback as it tells you something you don't already know.

Try to really understand why they believe what they believe. Chances are your viewpoint isn't perfect, so by getting to understand someone else's you get to readjust yours taking into account their perspective.

Also, often it seems like you're in disagreement, but really you're talking about (slightly) different things. By diving into the other person's reasoning you can quickly tease that out as well.

Good perspective Marc! I’ll make sure to ask more why then.

I recently finished The Lessons of History which is a really short summary of what we can learn from history. Split up per topic.

It talks about philosophy, economics, war, religion, etc. All the big topics.

My main take-away is that history repeats itself. Things ebb and flow. An excess of X eventually leads to the opposite. For example ever-increasing capitalism will create such wealth disparity that the poor at some point vastly outnumber the rich. Leading to a more socialistic society. But when things get too socialistic, innovation stalls and the economy will stagnate. Paving the way for more capitalistic endeavours. And round the world goes.

The same is true for war and peace, religion and science, freedom and the rule of law. Etc.

Looks interesting! Added it to the queue :)

For what it's worth, I only redesign the wip.chat/questions overview. The rest can probably use some work as well, but that page specifically needed it.

Either is fine. Neither is going make or break your product. Ship it! 💪😄
