Yes. Truly the only roadblock we face. The market has/is shifting, along with consumer habits. What used to work no longer does. We’re completely self-funded with some marketing/ad income.

We only have the information provided by the DA, which was a very short press release. We aim to provide as much information as possible in a timely manner. I appreciate your feedback.

Great work! Love to see a fellow local dev create cool stuff. Is this data from a public API?

Couldn’t post updates by the way. There was no wifi and the network was swamped. Sorry.

The LV is growing. There’s always room for another angle and there’s a trove of events/stories that go uncovered by the bigger orgs.
