Super cool. I really like how clear, clean, and concise the main landing page & pricing page are.

Also, as a 36 year old developer, this product and you yourself, are inspirational. This sort of thing certainly lifts my spirits as I begin the job hunt after a sabbatical.

Thought I'd mention as well-- I heard about this Japanese developer who made an iphone app at age 84 and even met Tim Cook. [1]

Thank you for your comments on the platform. I appreciate it, and the small team that did the work will appreciate it even more. I disclosed upfront that my iPhone gives me trouble sometimes, but I'd be happy to meet Tim Cook as I have a small issue with it now. I am hoping that we are successful for many reasons, one of which is to inspire seniors not to quit working if they want to work. I have noticed there are many seniors with a lot to offer that seem to feel obligated to stop, or are badgered into retirement by family members or friends. Anecdotally, the famous broadcaster and writer, Paul Harvey was asked "When are you going to give it up." He was in his eighties and still showing up very early every day to work on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story." In that unmistakable voice, he proclaimed, "I'll tell you when I'm going to give it up. I'm going to give it up the moment I find something I like to do better.[1] [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Harvey
