We're releasing fewer features this month and here's why.

One person can only do so much, and we're hitting the real limits.

I release a lot. Probably too much for one person. But this month I'm releasing less, and I'm telling you why instead of hiding it.

The call counting system took longer than I planned. Not because it's hard, but because it has to be right. A plumber trusting us with their call data means we can't cut corners. We tested it, broke it, fixed it, and tested again. That takes time.

I also built a way for you to mark spam calls so we learn from it. That's not fancy, but it matters. Bad data is worse than no data.

Some folks will say I should hire help. Maybe. But right now I'd rather release fewer things that actually work than a bunch of half-finished features. This is the pace I can keep without lying about quality.
