Oddbean new post about login | logout Being social in real life has it's quirks too.
It does, but that shouldn't be an excuse when these are basic functions of apps that people use.
Who defined these basic functions you've come to expect?
Expectations that have developed over the past two decades of using social networking applications.
What was valuable about each individual expectation? What purpose did it serve? Why is it required or expected? (Aside from historical trends) (Just trying to ask deeper questions to sus out context)
The value is being able to find my existing social connections or find existing content with minimal effort. Less effort and ease of use provided a better experience for me, allowing me to spend my valuable time being social. Software innovation should make life easier, not harder.
