Updates application copy, adds one field, fixes "greatful" #45

Closed andytudhope closed 2 years ago

I have checked that this is linted correctly etc.

Alas, it seems that the GH UI does some weird stuff when syncing forks through the browser which means that my merges of your changes over time show up here. Will this be an issue?

Also, it is OK to simply add a field to the applications? I think so, but am not 100% sure that it can just be that easy :joy:

Oh, also, have we implemented auto-save yet? I put a sentence about that in, aspirationally...

Can you elaborate what issues you are referring to re merging upstream?

Yes, adding a field is that simple, dare I say it's easy.

Having said that, we did not agree on adding additional fields when we last spoke. Am I missing something?

  1. Merging upstream from the GH UI puts my local fork ahead of upstream. Those now show up here so that it seems like 6 commits instead of the two that have the actual work I did. This is just user (me) error.
  2. Incredible, thank you.
  3. If we have to explicitly agree on every form field, we're never going to make progress and no-one will contribute to this repo (handshake theory). I was clear that I (and Salim) agree with Aliya about having one more question which highlights what Kernel does while giving applicants another field to express themselves. This was raised because much of the user feedback from Boyana is that people do not know at what level to pitch their applications. If we have a question which explicitly calls out a core pedagogical method of Kernel (conversation), it could really help address that documented sense of "who are these people and how should I talk to them? What do they care about?"
