Shape Squiggle's Future: Take our Squiggle Survey

Dear Squiggle Community,

At QURI, we're focused on tools that advance forecasting and epistemics to improve decision-making. As you know, we care deeply about evaluation, and we're holding a survey on Squiggle to better understand how and why people use our work.

Honestly, developing this tooling can be very isolating. While we know several Squiggle users, we typically get irregular feedback, and we don't want to exclude anyone from our prioritization efforts.

If you love or hate Squiggle, or something in-between, we'd deeply appreciate if you could let us know. Squiggle is a free and open-source project to help community members, and your honest feedback is one of the very few tools we have to ensure our work remains useful.

Goals We hope to: Understand how valuable Squiggle is and why Learn how to make Squiggle better Map the diverse ways people are using Squiggle Share insights with the broader community and our funders If we receive sufficient responses, we plan to publish key findings in a blog post.
