So, basically, spend countless hours tuning the most basic functionality. Skip the most useful functionality, as it's unusable (timeline and search, see other comments).

What an amazing tool though.

It takes no time to tune. If you see notifications from groups that bring little value, just turn them off. Very simple and natural process.

So, continuous tuning for no reason at all.

Let's add things from other comments, shall we?

> The feed is pretty much useless. > You tune notifications to catch the “must read” stuff and filter out the rest of the noise. > STFU notifications, then carefully tune back in. > The feed is crap. Do not read the feed. Make a bookmark bar their search is crap.

etc. etc.
