End of Week One: A whole lot of love, and a short video explanation of the future of publishing.
One week in, and we're almost quarter of the way there!
Here at Dumbo HQ, we're so excited to launch into this project, especially given the support you've kicked our way so far, and all of the love on the social networks. It's nice to feel valued, isn't it? Thank you all so much.
If you're asking your friends to pitch in, you might want to point that that $10,000 reward is still up for grabs—who wouldn't want to edit Dumbo Feather? It's the best job in the world!
Also, if folks are asking you why Dumbo should go digital, well, send them this video—we've thought about this long and hard.
Why an app? Here's Reason One:
