On: Do not talk about pricing

[petermacrobert]

Tom Whitwell's post isn't arguing for obfuscated pricing.

Pricing can still be clearly defined and emotional at the same time. This is the basis of the psychology of price anchoring.

Hi there, you're absolutely right, the invitation workflow isn't perfect yet. There's actually quite a lot of complex mechanics at play, given that a user can own a group, be an account IN a group and also a member OF a group.

We're working on some improved user journeys and they'll be rolled out soon. MVP, and all that ;)

Thanks,
