Today was very interesting. We built a full casino system with a decent backend to manage it, and added the ability to buy credits. The slot machine took a while, but it's actually super fun to play.

There was another great milestone that passed: we sold all 3 of our ad slots! This is a huge revenue booster as we're at $30 reoccuring revenue currently, but we will need to make sure that we provide value to our amazing advertisers.
What's new?
