off topic:

I took a look at his new project(https://www.matterapp.io/) and wonder what people think about the method of social proof he is using by showing logos of companies that are not customers but that are transparent about their diversity. Seems like a great shortcut but feels slightly misleading to me.



Interesting loophole abuse. The heading to that section implies that the companies are not using the product, but the intent of the section is clear.


It fooled me initially, until I saw the pricing. $299 a month for what the simplest of spreadsheets could track.


People had the same arguments against Dropbox (just use rsync) and Buffer itself (just use a cronjob).


This argument is inherently a fallacy. Sometimes ideas are inherently bad. (Also, you're an engineer at Buffer)


Yup I am. My point though is that that argument is largely underestimating the value delivered by these products. And the apparent lack of P/M fit for spreadsheets managing diversity at large companies.


You're not the target customer.


Might seem expensive but I can easily see some larger companies using this to publicize their diversity numbers if they are good
