100% agree. Also just commented this.

You could only run this experiment if you had watched exactly the same amount of videos on both platforms or if you would start from scratch on both!?

Wait, I need to ask about the sample data & methodology here: - these 100 users they asked, were they already frequent users of TikTok and Instagram reels?

This experiment makes no sense if users spent a lot of time training the TikTok algorithm, prior to running the experiment while they didn't train the Instagram Reels algorithm? Of course the results are more interesting and less generic if they had used TikTok a lot before...?

Hi everyone!

I launched some todo app tiny tasks on Product Hunt today. The idea was to replace my dying Wunderlist extension and build a similar todo app which is as simple as possible. I added beautiful background pictures ala Momentum from all over the world.

I would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

However, I can't say for sure that they really wanted to read the article or just said so. The summary idea you brought up is actually an interesting one: Getting an automatic summary (or some key sentences) so that I know at least roughly what the article is about. That's what you mean, right? There was a simliar idea recently on product hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/i-lazy-to-read. Worked medium well for me but the idea is quite cool
