Nice app and Better Creator

There’s something to be said about an early startup company that’s trying to do the right thing, meeting notes and a voice recorder that works on your device, thinks about privacy first, and also wants to know your feedback, but the latter of the two is something that’s very important. A lot of people say they want your feedback, but not many actual creators are the ones who are answering your emails. Go to anorectic community and online, that shows they care about a product, so I am always willing to take a hiccup or two along the way on a startup app to know that they will help in the long run, people that I advocate for for invisible disabilities @drdisruptor
