@revenuecat.com is there an option, or can we get an option, to toggle the graph to not start with 0 but with the lowest value in the chart? This graph looses a lot of nuance imo.

My userbase is mostly UK and NL, and the fact that it’s now really foggy here for days is visibly affecting downloads of @airassist.app! Never thought off!

So who wants a verified 'Microsoft' and 'Microsoft MVP' label on their profile and all the posts?
I just finished setting up @bluesky.ms as a labelling service.
Go subscribe to the label to start seeing labels on verified MVPs and Microsofties.
