Being a South Korea fan right now must be miserable in the funniest way.

Their group is done, but they still need results from three different groups to fall the right way. Austria vs Algeria, DR Congo vs Uzbekistan, Ghana vs Croatia... none of it is even their game anymore.

This is where the 48-team format gets weird. You don't get eliminated by one final whistle, you get eliminated slowly by a spreadsheet and a few teams you suddenly care about for no reason.

Maybe two results break their way and they sneak in. Maybe everyone plays the normal safe final group game and they go home.

Either way, watching a World Cup through other people's scorelines sounds awful.

Hey guys,

First off: We hear you loud and clear.

We’ve been closely following the discussions and subreddits lately, and we know there’s been some frustration. We want you to know that the team is actively listening, and our main priority right now is to roll up our sleeves and make things right.

To do that, we need to build what you actually need, not what we think you need. That’s why the product team wanted to come directly to you regarding a highly requested feature we've been seeing: The ability to change the boundary/border cutting direction (switching between clockwise and counter-clockwise).

We want to make sure we code this exactly right, so we need your real-world feedback to understand the underlying problem.

Here’s our current engineering logic (and why we want your input): Right now, for the main lawn pattern, we use 6 different mowing angles to distribute the wheel tracks evenly so your grass doesn't get matted down. However, since boundary cutting always follows the exact same perimeter line, just flipping the direction from counter-clockwise to clockwise doesn't actually change the wheel track path—the tires are still rolling over the exact same dirt, just in reverse.

Because of that, we want to know the "why" behind this request so we can build a solution that actually solves your daily yard pain points:

1. What is the main issue you’re facing with single-direction border cutting right now? (Is it soil compaction, tire slipping on specific turns, or something else?)
2. If we add the option to choose the border direction, how exactly will it improve your lawn?
3. Is it about the blade rotation? (e.g., Do you need the blades to spin/cut from the opposite side to lift the grass up better against fences and walls?)

We’re here to listen, take notes, and get to work. Lay it all out for us in the comments!

Thanks for helping us make the bot better. Cheers!
