Showed our experimental app to a potential user last week and the next day he emailed us saying a colleague saw him using it and said "what the h*ll are you using?! This is amazing!"

He shared that quote with us and it was great to hear.

Also, one person has entered the planning contest we posted on dev.to ; and he left a very encouraging reply.

I learned that Salesforce (something I simply knew existed for ~5 years) is more than just Business™ stuff, there's a whole Salesforce Developer branch/path within. And believe it or not, there's a whole amazing, helpful community tied to it just like web development! Pretty neat. Another direction to stretch some Java and JavaScript skills 🧑‍💻
