Would you PLEASE stop cluttering the announcement section with nonsense?  I come here to get information on this app.  Is this a professional business or a high school instagram account?

@Chrobrego, so you know, the first 8 or so posts are always pinned to the top and cycle between things like this….or more specific common errors, community notices, etc.

I suspect that Simplifi includes posts like this one to help build a sense of community/friendliness and - based on other users replies to posts such as this - they’re generally appreciated.

I understand that you are not interested in these sorts of posts so just scroll past the first 8 or so posts.  These joke posts are always titled in a way that’s pretty easy to pick out without opening them and they’re very transitory in their pinned position; after a few days, they disappear.

They can build a sense of community by creating a road map that is viewable by users, providing timely responses to bug reports and regularly improving the product. A product that is actively developed, provides value and works properly builds a community by itself.

I prefer a product that has -already- been developed and is not actively being changed because when things change, things break, or features you once liked get replaced by features you don't like.  Something well developed should not have to change much.
