Perfect

A summary of things I learned from my time on Bear [OC]

As you might know, Perfect is a blog dedicated to creating two-sentence summaries of blogposts.
Some might call this inefficient.

I would be inclined to agree in this regard.
Looking at the discover tab, you can see hundreds of blogposts about the same topic.

From this follows that in order to summarize 90% of bear posts, I need only create one medium-sized summary listing the common ideas they cover. This is the result of that endeavour.
