Two startups were not successful, so what will happen this timeοΌ
I don't have a deep memory of my childhood, but there is a particularly strong thought: βI don't want to be an office worker.β In fact, not only office work, but I also didn't have much interest in school (but I really like to teach myself!). Maybe it has something to do with the education system, their methods? My little thought is that I am not the kind of person who wants to be a great person or gain fame and fortune, but I am more afraid of formulaic things, afraid of facing myself and realizing I had lost vitality.
...from the peeps at the SLOWLY team HQ. Sadly, as they are missing big time on promoting the app, the services, the merchandise which supports the free service which most people use.
Their leadership of the project chose to run the company this way. A social media and communications manager is not a part of their staff, and therefore, prime opportunities like this are wasted. ππ
We had been chatting about the general slow down in releases during the Summer months (last regular release was 7.2.28, June 28, 2022), and wondering what was going on.
She was dismayed by the contents of this first contact, the sender is also from India. She posted in the sub and requested comments, and various users replied. As I write this, the topic has 58 comments.
We have seen them come, arrive, puzzle many of us (mostly everyone who doesn't live in their home countries). Sometimes even some locals are surprised, by bizarre words, idioms.
We are referring to the Expressions or Local Idioms stamps β the ones with some local colourful language that is mysterious to most other Slowly users.
I had some experiences and made notes regarding it. And this morning, a message came :
I think that I would have to sign out of the canny.io site (I signed in with my email) & likely have to use my Slowly ID to use the feedback Slowly site, by signing in with that.
Since I had some problems, I wrote back and shared insights. Time to publish these, as I think they can be helpful to others as well.
All the Cat-themed stamp issues did well β my favourite being the gorgeous 'Purrfect Holidays' set, still available via the Time Machine.
I thought of a suggestion, for a set of stamps presenting both of those passions. I follow a great account on Twitter called 'Reading with Cats' and delight on the imagery she posts and shares on this theme.
And was not promoted by the Slowly Team at all, other than adding a new 'Stamp Request' button in the Web Client. Which offered direct link to a new 'Feedback site'.
Now, a month and a half later, there are many success stories we can talk about. I first wrote about this new site and feature on April 29, here on our Slowly subReddit.
