5/6 ⏳ You can sample any number of tracks, but you can only reveal 5 tracks a day. This isn’t to limit discovery but to value your time and make each track count. Find what you like, then listen on your preferred streaming service and get on with your day.

🎧 6/6 While developing Orbit, I've been introduced to dozens of new artists, and it's become my go-to for fresh tunes when “the algorithm” feels stale. I’m excited to hear what other music fans think!

The @BBCRD team have been researching how to engender social connection in remote workspaces. Here's a quick run through of their latest findings, using videos of their @liveblocks-based collaborative working environment, Colab 👇

Liveblocks has been used for research into asynchronous social connection by @BBC. @BBCRD created a collaborative working environment using Liveblocks to discover how teams foster a sense of togetherness while working remotely. A must-read. rig.rd.labs.bbc/offices-asyn…

Last year we at @BBCRD worked on Remote Interaction Guidelines and made a game to test our patterns. We've now made a collaborative working environment for teams using @liveblocks & @livekitted and learnt a few things about asynchronous togetherness... 1/5🧵

4/5 Our initial findings showed sharing a digital space improves the feeling of togetherness. However we had introduce what we call "shared history" to make this work asynchronously. It's inspired by how offices work and you can read more on the website rig.rd.labs.bbc/offices-asyn…

Inspired by board games, @BBCRD researched how to design better remote multiplayer applications over the last two years. I'm so pleased to finally be able to share our paper & code. Check the website rig.rd.labs.bbc or read this short thread ⬇️

From this, we created guidelines and designed a set of prototypes showing how these patterns can be applied outside of games. Find out more on Remote Interaction Guidelines section of the website. rig.rd.labs.bbc/#remote-inte…

In a future where distributed teams are the norm and people are scattered but yearning for closeness, I really hope these recommendations can help bridge the remote gap. Have a read, have a play, and let me know what you think.
