Great points. Convenience comes first, especially for things not in your core product offerings.

The math has changed for sure, but there is still a large open space in the convenience vs cost equation.

I'm in the same Jekyll boat! If it works, it works.

Building a successful onchain app is hard. It gets even harder when you don't know how people are using it. You're shipping features, running campaigns, and trying to find product-market fit, but without clear data, you're lost in a dark forest. Analytics remains as one of the biggest challenges in crypto.Think about the questions you're trying to answer every day:* Who are my top users?* What...

Re:How I’d redesign piano sheet music on Monday July 06, 2015 @01:07AM (#9836921)
I play guitar and find having both sheet music and tablature together useful. Sheet Music has an incomparable amount of timing information and other nuances, and tablature has the fingering positions you can sight read effortlessly once you've got the piece down.
Re:How I’d redesign piano sheet music on Monday July 06, 2015 @01:04AM (#9836911)
I've been in guitar orchestras, what we do is annotate our sheet music with optimal finger positions as we work through the piece. Especially for long pieces you can't necessarily keep in your head, this helps with sigh-reading tremendously since the positions are written in the sheet music.

Some sheet music for guitar also has note-level annotations for string number and finger positions, which does the above for the guitarist.
