About a month and half ago I set a daily writing goal of 10-minutes. During these 10-minute-long sprints, I’ve been capturing random thoughts not to share, but to practice writing about. One recent day, an idea to turn some of these thoughts into a post came to me. Because, why not?
Today, my thoughts turn to annoying features of Medium I can live without.
Recently the Medium’ CEO, Ev Williams wrote:
“You know when you reply to an email that has an attachment and you add someone but that new person on the thread doesn’t get the attachment? How is there still no quick fix for that in email/Gmail?
