That LP didn't exist until after the article was published. There is some hope that it could be leveraged to remove that kind of guidance from mid-level leaders.

Who is your hosting provider? Did you see any ill-effects when you shared this with HN a few days ago?
Awesome. Thanks!
This is really interesting.
Can I do this with my own Ion?
Nothing wrong with you - you're experiencing a form of writer's block.
As a single contributor how is your project managed? Do you have a to-do list?
Yeah! I'm sure we can figure out a way. Thanks.
This is great.
Currently my team uses google docs to survey our customers. This works really well because we don't have to organize temporary users or share the results publicly.
Am I able to do something similar with ForceRank?
This week we had a hack day to experiment with integrating our API with mobile. The result was a fun little visual storytelling application we call thsthn.
Two pictures and a simple icon allow you to convey rank, order or cause visually.
We'd love to gather any feedback and hope you find it interesting!
