A small thing I learned about show & tell

Nothing groundbreaking, but it saved me real time so I figured I would share. The trick was to slow down and get the basics right before optimizing.

Hope it helps someone else.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.
