I’m a software designer at the Centre for Effective Altruism. I mostly work on the EA Forum.
I’ve been designing for the past 7 years, most recently at an early stage startup called Amie.so, and before that at Intercom. I also used to work as a photographer.
Some of these features were released last month but only announced now (post reactions and the author improvements). Some features we’re launching together to reduce the amount of times users feel surprised by things changing (right sidebar on the Frontpage, “Recent discussion” redesign, Best of page, etc.). There are pros and cons to both continuous releases and bundled releases, this time we did a bit of both.
