Allo Ships - 2/7/25

Allo Ships
1

“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 7?
