Issue #173

Hi
Wooo, looks like one person was referred and it worked as expected! First half of the test looks good. If I don't get an email about how someone's referred count should be one, but is currently nonexistent, then I know the system "just works". Now all there is to do is to come up with some rewards.
As an aside, I realized yesterday that the referral link in the share to twitter link was incorrect. I've fixed that. Also if you have 0 referrals, the count just won't show up. Not sure why it doesn't want to show 0. Oh well.
Anyway, here's today's issue.

====================================================================

Today's Sponsor: Mailman

A big part of writing code is reaching that "flow" state, when you find yourself completely immersed in the problem before you. Achieving that state is impossible if you're constantly getting your attention pulled to new emails and notifications. Mailman is a Chrome add-on that let's you specify when, and from whom you get your emails, to minimize the chances of your "flow" being broken.

How Mailman Came to Be

Mohit has been coding since he was 11 years old. In 2020, when the world went remote, he realized that he was bogged down under a ton of emails and wasn't getting distraction-free coding time. He built Mailman to control his inbox. Now he can control when and what kinds of emails land in his inbox, saving himself over 100 hours per year.
