At any given moment, I have zillions of pieces that I have written or started to write on Medium that are not yet published.
The come in three flavors (whoops, I mean categories)
I want to be able to quickly find Category 2 (Articles I want to work on) and it was frustrating for me having to click on many articles because I couldn’t tell which was which.
And when I send unfinished piece out for comment, the ?? let people know.
Adding the ?? and ** to the unscheduled articles removed this frustration. It saved time. It may not be a big thing, but anything that improves the “joy per hour” and “ joy per unit of frustration” is not a little thing either.
