Close friends has been in the works for months

Every few months I begin a new cycle of feature development, and while many of them never get announced or see the light of day

We (@pixelfed) are always innovating and experimenting, and it may seem that progress can be slow at times, but that's because we have a lot on the go 😎

Close friends sounds incredibly promising - I would love to see this feature throughout the different fedivers projects.

@luc It's a very cool feature, and is based on my own friend group and how they use social media

They don't know it yet, but all those "weird" questions I asked at parties really helped shape this feature

The best QA is real life users

"The best QA ..."
Definitively right. That's why I often wish there was a better way for users to send ideas/or feedback.

Or really great there - but for other software, paid or free, it's often really difficult to give some good feedback and ideas.

@luc I am working on a Survey feature for the official apps to gather feedback in a privacy friendly and transparent way, you may see a survey section on feeds later next month!

I'll share more about this soon

@dansup @pixelfed nothing seems slow about your dev cycle

@dansup blessed be a fast product experimentation and iteration. The only way to ship the right things at the right time. And get rapid end user feedback.

I’m preaching Simple, Lovable, Complete (SLC) at work - it’s much more intuitive way of building the right thing vs MVP approach.
