Zach’s a beast and an all around great dude. I hate running but Aura’s the most fun I’ve had with an app in a long time. The care he put into it is obvious with every pixel.

My wife - girlfriend at the time - bought a bunch of LinkedIn stock 5 days before Microsoft acquired them. I told her it was a terrible investment bc LinkedIn is cringe. She made about 50% in a week and still makes fun of me.
