I'm a software product manager who writes code as a hobby.

Currently, I lead the product team at Cantaloupe Systems. We put cellular modems inside vending machines, collect data about every sale as well as machine status and alerts, and then crunch the resulting data in our cloud services to help vending operators know what's selling and what's not, who's stealing from them and who's not, which machines need to be refilled and when, and much more.

 comment best practices for toggling persistence (“pinning”) of choices made by users?
@KoenLageveen - take a look at Gildas Frémont's answer below, it captures the problem (and a solution) pretty well.

Your second solution will work-- great idea! It doesn't do 100% of the things I'd like to do (for example there's no way to know if the filter is persistent when the box is collapsed) but I think the simplicity outweighs that loss. Thanks!

 comment how to subtly indicate that an address is “mappable” in a mobile app?
Overkill meaning a very prominent UI for an uncommon operation. I wanted a subtler way to indicate mappabilty.

I like this idea the best. Our designers tried small icons on the right edge of the address and it still provides a visual cue but is much less obnoxious than the huge pin. We're probably going to settle on a small pin to the right-- using the standard icon, just smaller and in a less conspicuous location.
