@anyware A "quiet mode" that persists over time is one of my favourite features of the Italian electronic identity system. I wrote it up here: findthethread.blog/Granular-Id
Of course, being a government system, it is not subject to the same incentives that drive growth hacking of private systems. In fact, their incentives go the other way: given that everyone will have to use this system, how can we make that experience as smooth & painless as possible?

@riotnrrd I wasn't aware of this, and I love that it implements a persistent "quiet mode." Thank you for the pointer!
