Due to unforeseen high demand, our servers couldn’t handle the load last night which caused most problems when installing Ratio. We added a ton of resources this morning, more servers and load balancers, so now everything is up and running again. Thanks for your understanding.

Imagine a product that saves you on average 1 hour/day. It does this by stopping you from engaging in wasteful activities (that you explicitly don't want to engage in). Which areas of your life does it touch? How much would you pay to get an additional hour per day, every day?

We are monochromatic at our core but we had to make the switch to color as easy as possible on our Blloc Z18. Tapping the fingerprint sensor smoothly transitions your phone to full color display. Do you prefer color or monochrome as your default phone display?

Allocate less unnecessary time on your phone. And more time getting "good enough" at things that matter.

Consider the finite time we have in life as an allocation problem. The more time you invest in something, the less you have for other activities. This means happiness is an outcome of shooting for being “good enough” at things like fitness, career, relationships, projects.

In the 2010s/20s the decisions of a small group of people controlled what hundreds of millions of people saw on their feeds. This was normal. Later we looked back at the way we used our smartphones, and it felt like when people used to smoke in airplanes.
