We can all appreciate the pleasure Dustin got from perfecting his Svbtle design. His perfection of the authoring flow. Perfection is when there is nothing left to take out, after all.
We can all thank Dustin for showing it to us so early.
And we can all imagine how he wanted to build a quality brand with it, partly by vouching for the quality of those who use it.
You could imagine that monetisation might have been in there too - a startup!
We like startups here; we all applaud.
We mustn't let Obtvse cheapen that.
