For me, it depends how big the favour is. If it's to pick someone up from the airport, it should definitely be a phonecall.
Por Favor aims to fill the space where it's a small favour, like turning on the oven at a certain time or taking out the bins. Things that aren't too much of an inconvenience but are also easily forgotten.
You mention tracking favours, that's definitely not what it's about. It's about remembering to do things you said you would, not about keeping score.
- nodata 14y agoI don't like the idea of turning favours into a currency.
- mheap 14y agoI explicitly said that it's not about keeping track of who's done whom a favour. I'd even say that each day, any old favours get reset and hidden from view.
- ollysb 14y ago>> Swap walking the dog for a lift to the airport, and keep track of who owes you a favor. This is the copy that's making people think along those lines. If it's sending the wrong message then this is the bit I'd change.
- mheap 14y agoAh, my mistake. I have no idea how that managed to sneak onto the site. I'll get it changed soon. @ollysb, @nodata: Sorry about that. I was honestly confused why people thought it was about keeping track and kept bringing it up when I'd said it wasn't. Now it all makes much more sense
