_Massive_ kudos to the team, and congratulations on reaching GA!
Looking forward to continued work with the platform and seeing what y’all have store with the first major update. My apologies for being rather quiet these past few months; November and December are always busy months for me, and my personal projects typically suffer as a result. ☹
Cheers to continued success in 2020! Happy New Year, everyone!
