With Almond
I've been reflecting on our product roadmap for Q2, and I believe we should prioritize the mobile app launch over the desktop redesign. The user feedback has been remarkably consistent on this point. We've observed a 40% increase in mobile traffic over the past quarter, and frankly, our competitors are already ahead in this space. If we can deliver an MVP by March, we'll be strategically positioned for the spring marketing push.
