I'm a huge fan of all the proposed updates! Especially "Matching Preferences 2.0". Like others have mentioned, there are so many ways to use Focusmate, and having a partner who is mostly aligned with how you're using the session really allows for peak productivity, as well as enjoyment. I was a member of a Focusmate facebook group and brought up my frustration at being matched with people who are not only late, but who don't even apologize for being late, and was met with so much negativity that I left the group! Yes, it's virtual, but the manners that are expected irl should not be erased because we're virtually meeting. Moreover, just because focusmate has a large neurodivergent population does not mean that neurotypical expectations on politeness should be rebuffed. I was really dissappointed in that interaction and made sure to 'snooze/ block' anyone who thought being tardy without apologies was okay.
