David Reiley david@davidreiley.com Apr 02 03:27PM -0700My reaction to the description of the three plans was that three seemed
like too many, and you’d be better off with two. I wasn’t clear on how the
middle plan was meaningfully different from the …more
Daniel Reeves dreeves@beeminder.com Apr 02 04:33PM -0700Ha, no, the sneakiest we got was our attempt to first anchor everyone

Paul Fenwick paul.j.fenwick@gmail.com Apr 03 12:06PM +1100With regards to the smartphone apps, I’d absolutely have them available to

more towards my goal. write now on my do more goals (writing, guitar) when
I feel motivated and log a bunch of hours or …more
Daniel Reeves dreeves@beeminder.com Apr 02 07:57PM -0700As for total number of goals, our feeling is that as long as you’re adding
pledges on each new one you create (after the first 7 – and your 29 are
grandfathered) then we don’t need to limit you. …more
Paul Fenwick paul.j.fenwick@gmail.com Apr 03 02:13PM +1100idea a friend just gave us: a partial refund of your derailment if you re-up.
We’re nervous about ideas like that since they mitigate Beeminder’s sting.
And of course that sting is our whole …more
“Bethany M. Soule” bsoule@beeminder.com Apr 02 10:33PM -0700Wait, are not subscriptions typically auto-renew whether you like it or

Daniel Reeves dreeves@beeminder.com Apr 02 10:56PM -0700I think there’s a more fundamental reason Paul is All Wrong:

Paul Fenwick paul.j.fenwick@gmail.com Apr 03 04:56PM +1100Oh, I should have said that you want to think about what to do about
people wanting to game the premium levels. Do you suspend people’s
custom goals if they drop below Bee Lite? Do you get people to …more
