“What did you ship this week”?
This is a call for showing off what we are proud of from this week. What we got done.
An important ritual: Momentum begets momentum, and we want to build a visceral sense of momentum around Allo. So, every Friday we rally around this post and share our work and use this cross-pollination of research, exploration, and energy to advance our work further on.
So, what did we ship this week, week ending February 14?
