How has it been 10 years?
It has officially been 10 years since I launched the very first version of Sofa 🤯, and it’s genuinely wild to see where Sofa is today.
If you’ve ever used, looked at, talked about, shared, or even thought about Sofa, thank you. I’m so lucky for this to be my job ❤️.

If you’re a podcaster, I built a handy little tool to help you easily create a “Listen On Sofa” button for your podcast.
This button will directly link to a “subscribe” page in @sofahq.social when people click on it.
