A pattern emerges...

Progress on Smithy has been slow. Still zero marketing and still 1-3 days between every install. Plus things are tough at home and work for both Sam and me.

We've just been gathering feedback from the few early users who are willing to chat and slowly working on some necessary improvements to Smithy here and there.

Nevertheless, an interesting insight has emerged from looking at who has gone ahead and taken the plunge with Smithy on their Slack workspace. We're looking at smart grids, energy efficiency software, design agencies, NGO's, and research projects. We were expecting startups and product teams (albeit due to our bias coming from a product team at a software startup).

This is great news for our monetisation plans.
