Reached a new indiehacker milestone!

TL;DR: user went out of their way to send money without even asking.

============================

A while back I made this android keyboard as a weekend project, posted it on reddit. It went well and I got a lot of users from the get-go. I had no plan when I made it. I made it "just because" and to increase our presence in the play store.

I added feedback option in the app and been consistently listening to user feature requests. I got several from the original reddit thread and continue to get more from time to time, so I have been implementing the features users specifically ask for.

So here is what happened now: 🥁

Following the most recent release a user reached out via email -- went way out of their way -- to ask how to send money as a way to thank for the update, and then followed through!

Awww, I feel warm and fuzzy inside. There is nothing in the app itself even suggesting a payment so this is huge that someone would go that far as a way to say thank you.

Since yesterday was the anniversary of the first moon landing,

It is a small step for a user but a huge step for indie software developers

🥳🎉🎊 🙏 💪
