January felt like it was never going to end. Was there an extra week in there? But we made it! As we stumble into February, love is in the air, not just the sappy, heart-shaped kind.
We’re talking about a passionate romance with documentation.
Nothing says “commit” (no, I don’t mean GitHub) like a well-organized note, right?
This month, in addition to featuring the latest industry news, informative blogs, and community voices, we’re giving you an exclusive interview with our CEO and CTO and some new updates you may have missed.
Let’s dive right in…
