To achieve a better sample size, I'd highly appreciate if you could circulate the link to this survey in your own networks.
It's already been almost 9 years since the last user survey for these projects. Please help me/us to get more insights into your own experiences, your interests, hopes and pain points — allowing the projects and everyone involved to move forward more intentionally.
There're 15 questions here, with ~10 of them marked as mandatory. The main focal points are the matrices in the middle of the survey. Please also do use the final freeform comments box to share any further feedback you might have. Thank you very much for your interest, trust & taking the time to provide some much needed answers! 🙏
The survey is anonymous and will remain open until 23:59 (CET) on February 29, 2024. I will then share a public summary of the results on my Mastodon in the days following (do keep an eye on the #ThingUmbrella hashtag)...

I'm working on a follow up to this album (Psychedelic Ghost Stories) and I'd love to know your opinions on what worked, what didn't, etc. From conception/composition to mix and master, it's all fair game. Be as honest as possible, but don't be mean unless you have to 😅
Before posting this, I ensured my phone settings or thumbnails weren't distorting the layout. Despite this, I noticed that Kbin only allows me to view around three posts at a time, significantly fewer compared to 6-8 posts on similar sites. This difference slows down my ability to scan titles and locate engaging content, which...
Looking for feedback on the last album as I record the new one! Can I get five people's thoughts on this? Interested whether you're a fellow musician, or just a passionate music fan! This is "Dream Vessels on the River of Time"
Open to feedback on any aspect, from the conception and composition to the mixing and mastering. Honest opinions sought, you don't even have to be nice (though it's always appreciated 😅 ).
So I don't suppose five of you reading this have six minutes or so to listen to this track and let me know what you think? It's the climactic track of the album! It's based on a William James quote! It's real weird!
I've done it mostly for myself, but I've set it up to allow anonymous posting and voting, in case anyone wants to have an easy place to publish a feedback report about #shortcuts and have an easy-to-share URL.
To anyone that care's i've been having the hardest time sleeping if anyone has any suggestions on helping me sleep or any idea's if i should talk to someone or anything i would really love to hear what helps you i can fall asleep just not stay asleep for some feedback i've been taking Trazodone and Melatonin since i was 8 and has always helped wonder's but lately it hasn't idk if its stress or anxiety or what but please feedback is needed!!! (Please boost!!) #Sleep#Medication#Feedback#Help

You have no idea how much I love and appreciate concrete helpful & constructive feedback like "put import statements in code snippets" compared to handwavy & obtuse comments like "the docs are pretty bad..." or "examples are all for wild or out there things but what I need are tutorials on the basics". None of the hundreds of example projects & snippets cover those, are you sure?!
Concrete feedback (like the former) actually helps kickstarting things and leads to improving the situation for other users/everyone! I.e. I've already started updating the code snippets in all doc strings across all 190 libraries and I'm going to push new releases in the next couple of days! Great! 🙏🚀
If people really want thi.ngs to improve, at the very least they need to report what exactly is wrong/weak with the docs (preferably with examples), or explain which "basics" should be focused on more... There's an issue tracker and discussion forum[1]. I've been repeatedly asking for feedback here too...
Going hand in hand with this, the survey[2] question "Have you ever contributed to any thi.ng project in any way?" has a big fat ZERO for the "documentation" answer choice. I don't know why it's soo very hard to even just entice people providing some constructive comments, if helping out in other ways is out of the question...
In general, preliminary feedback collected in the survey so far seems to indicate these projects really are like Marmite[3] — people either absolutely love it or hate it, with seemingly not much middle ground... Go figure! Maybe it's a sign of the times...
The result of this is a feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. No matter how much energy (1000s of hours in the past 2 years alone) I've already been investing in providing/improving docs (>50k words in just the readme's), creating/updating docstrings, examples, snippets, diagrams & including links for further reading... it all just doesn't seem to register or is getting shrugged off as non-helpful and I truly don't know if spending even more time/energy/savings on any of this really even worth the effort anymore... Where is the bar for open source projects, esp. those not run be corporations?
I'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback you have on this track. Anything from composition and conception, to the mixing and mastering, it's all fair game. Be as honest as you'd like, tell me what works and what doesn't. I'd love to get five or six people to offer feedback on this.

There is now an (intermediate) option for setting federated repos via UI.
Based on that we are currently developing the sending of activities to distribute stars to the federated repos.
We also noticed that there are some things to consider, regarding activity sending. Feel invited to share your thoughts on this. 🙂
