I’ll keep it short this month, just wanted to give you an update on our latest progress.

Traction update

Daily active users: 40,000 (last month also 40,000)
Monthly active users: 156,000 (down from 157,000: -0.6%)
Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR): $283,000 (Annual: $3,396,000 up from $3,158,000: +7.5%)
