Contra's feed launch is exactly what the platform needed.
But two days in and it's already a highlight reel. It seems like everyone is shouting about their best work. Me included.
I get it. We all need clients. And honestly, I need the approval too. I don't know if there's someone that craves approval more than me.
But maybe this could be the place for the other stuff. The work-in-progress. The things we're stuck on. The messy middle.
I don't know. Just noticing.
@Angelo Gioia I came back after kind of forgetting about Contra when I signed up years ago, but I thought I might get slowly reinvested because of the social element.
But I don't know, the vibe is more boring than I thought it would be.
People really aren't posting out of fun, they have...
@John Borden Yeah, you're right. I do the same. Default to polished because it feels safer. But safer is also forgettable and less interesting. The messy stuff feels riskier but at least it's real.
Thanks for this!
@Angelo Gioia Would love to see more posts like this!!
