Thanks, Jeremy, for giving me this opportunity!

And thank you for the follow-ups, even during your very intense project. After working 40+ years in startups and corporations, I know how hectic life can be when you need to deliver Q4 results.

I hope you get some well-earned rest during the holidays.

Wonderful spotlight! Finn: Thanks so much for the shout out! 🙏 I’ve learned a lot from your journey, and Stack Contacts is a wildly useful addition to your portfolio writer tools.

Karen, your input as one of the first beta testers of StackContacts has helped me fix many embarrassing software bugs.

I wish I had even 10% of your design skills and UX mastery. I'm using your Substack Reader extension to track my subscriber list every week. I love the UI you've built there.

StackContacts wasn’t buggy at all! And appreciate the kind words about Substack Reader…Tailwind makes it so much easier to build a pretty UI. 😁

And I do have to add that the customer support given by Finn on Substack PRO has been over the top. Now that I have it working for me, it's saved me a lot of time on scheduling notes, understanding which ones are outstanding, and how to leverage more like those. I highly recommend the product and Finn. BTW, he drinks wine, too! Blue💙

This is a great example of builder-first thinking applied to writing. The way engineering discipline, feedback loops, and community-led design come together here feels both rare and durable. Inspiring work from both of you!
