I also think it would be nice to encourage users to submit their own tips to this list as in: “click here to submit your tip of the day”.

I still find things out re Pd that elicit a facepalm/no-way(you can do _that_) moment.
Think we all get stuck in our ways too so little tips/snippets/patterns (or known anti-patterns) would be lovely.

All best,

hmm.
i'd prefer a "tip-of-the-day".
order of execution is important enough that everybody should be aware of
it, whether they come from max, vvvv, csound or out of the blue.

i figure your argument is, that most of these have to learn Pd from
scratch anyhow and will eventually come to the "use [trigger]" section
in the documentation, whereas the max users would just dive into it (as
Pd has been sold to them as something you can use your Max-skills with
without having to pay the license).

my argument is that people who find tips-of-the-day useful are not power
users yet and as such an occasional reminder won't hurt.
