Making it once per year creates an event that is special, instead of adding to all the other noise of emails and notifications that we all get. More is not always better.
A monthly summary might be useful somehow, but I don't know if I'll check it or not.
Yes great point. I don't think we'd get the same effect if we'd do it monthly, because you're more aware of what you worked on the last 30 days anyway.
I think I'll ship a prototype at the beginning of February, reviewing the previous month. To see people's feedback.
What this comes down to is essentially storytelling, like with any other story. Where you are building up something over a year, and then you get a payoff at the end, which is why it can become very satisfying.
