Some feedback from my experience

Thanks for this feedback! Valuable stuff!

Probably this is true for both but are you talking about Android or iOS here?

Good ideas. You can see that the hard way at bmndr.com/payment.

Just to check (mainly for us to know if we’re communicating such things well enough), do you know about pledge caps?

As for auto-decaying pledges, I do like the arguments in favor of that. We discussed it some years ago:

Yeah, there are a lot of things I want to improve about changing the pledge amount.

You mean as opposed to using the beeminder.com/breaks page? Our thinking there is that you need to consider each goal when setting a break. Some goals you can do more of than usual on vacation, for example. Or you want to do less but not zero during a break. And just the fact that if you have plenty of safety buffer, you may prefer to use it instead of adding an additional break. Some goals you really want to stick to a certain overall average rate.

True fact.

Programming is hard?

Amen. And thank you again for articulating this!
