I know we are busy, super busy - I get it. We are all hacking away, working on our projects, which is great. The goal is to hit that sweet spot and really ship something that people want. I've been building products and solving problems for years and one thing that is true for almost any product that I use on the daily, is that - it makes me feel something.

Curious to see if anyone else is doing this?
