Hey. Keith here.
So first of all, I want to apologize. This is a huge mistake on my part, and I take personal responsibility. I have been cold e-mailing people directly literally for months (getting people to test out your project is hard work!) and we've been very lucky to have found super positive community members and feedback.
That is not the case here, however. We've been growing massively since we presented at AWS re:Invent. As a solo founder, I've been torn between hiring / building product / talking to investors and I took a "shortcut" --- we hired some growth consultants to do some cold outreach for us. There was a mix up, e-mails were sent out with wrong names (etc.) at a larger scale than I'm comfortable with and I was just notified about it as of this post.
I'm really sorry to you and anybody that was affected by this mix up. I'm thankful you brought this to my attention. As per cold outreach, I will focus on owning the process myself as much as I can on the personal scale I'm accustomed to. If you have any suggestions as to how we can improve stdlib to increase exposure without cold outreach, I'm more than happy to listen.
If anybody reading this was affected by this e-mail, feel free to e-mail me directly - keith at polybit dot com. Please remind me in the future and I'm happy to discuss giving you some free platform usage once we're out of Developer Preview.
Thanks again for bringing this up --- and truly sorry for any inconvenience.
