Alright, everyone. A little late to the game in getting this weekly dispatch up and running. But man, has it been an incredible two weeks.
It’s awesome to see that just in the last few weeks we’ve gone from a scaffold of an app to something that’s both looking great, and functioning just as intended. And to top it off, our SDK is delivering practically on schedule. It’s quite the feat, and one that we should all be very proud of.
I for one am impressed with the pace and quality of the effort everyone’s put in over the last few weeks, and it just makes me feel even more that we’re standing on the cusp of something big. With each new developer conversation the anticipation for XMTP is growing across the board, and it’s going to be an interesting next month or two.
Thanks to everyone for their awesome contributions here recently…
