Deep dives
Thoughtful Gift-Giving Approaches
The hosts discuss their evolving philosophies on holiday gift-giving, highlighting the importance of practicality and utility in the gifts they choose. They share experiences about selecting gifts that children will actually engage with long-term rather than toys that quickly lose appeal. One host mentions how they opted for a Mark Rober Crunch Labs subscription, aiming to provide an engineering-focused activity that encourages creativity and learning. This is coupled with other thoughtful gifts, like a family board game and a cookbook, indicating a desire to foster productive and memorable experiences.
Experiential Gifts and Changing Expectations
With children growing, the hosts reflect on how their present-buying strategies change over time, led by both practicality and the children's interests. They emphasize that rather than simply exchanging physical gifts, incorporating experiences—like tickets to events—creates lasting memories that can be cherished into adulthood. One host recalls an approach from the previous year where they provided keychains representing experiences, allowing children to choose their adventure later, which garners a sense of excitement and anticipation. This method shifts the focus from materialism to meaningful interactions.
The Transition to New Organizational Apps
The conversation shifts towards the introduction of organizational applications, which represent an evolution in how workspace content is shared within an organization. Unlike traditional workspace apps, organizational apps allow for greater flexibility, enabling multiple apps to be created from a single workspace without the previous limitations. The feature enhancements, including support for notebooks and real-time dashboards, considerably improve user interaction and experience. Hosts express optimism regarding these updates as they anticipate better ways to share content tailored to user needs.
Implications of User Access and Security
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the security implications associated with the new organizational apps, particularly in regard to user access and permissions. They note that granting access to an organizational app automatically provides users access to the underlying semantic models, a feature crucial for streamlining content distribution. However, concerns arise around the revocation process, as removing a user from an app does not automatically deregister access to shared models in different workspaces. This potential oversight could lead to complications, especially in larger organizations where tracking permissions becomes challenging.
Future Directions for Organizational App Development
As they conclude their discussion, the hosts emphasize the need for further feature development in organizational apps to maximize their utility. They suggest that future iterations should incorporate more types of content, including paginated reports and explorations, to enhance data storytelling and reporting capabilities. The discussion reflects a shared vision for making organizational apps a central hub for all artifacts within a fabric workspace. Overall, the hosts express excitement about the possibilities that organizational apps present, while also recognizing the current limitations and the importance of user education in this transitional phase.
