Signing off for a tiny year-end break. Never shipped as many products, updates, and new features as I did in 2025. Thank you for being part of my journey! One last shipment, though: stickers! 🙃 I’m sending them out for free. Just email me your address → martin@appahead.studio (while supplies last!)
