Cardstack Community,

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful questions.

Because I felt your concerns deserved a more generous response than simply running through each question, I provide a rather comprehensive update on where the project’s at and where we’re headed in 2019: https://youtu.be/lHNEG2PYky0

You’ll find an updated roadmap, specific use case details, and more—as well as the big-picture perspective on where we’re positioning ourselves in the Web 3.0 landscape.

I take the community’s input very seriously, and appreciate your continued support. The Cardstack comms team will be available tomorrow to walk you through your more specific questions in-depth.

Thanks again for being a part of the Cardstack journey.

Here’s a short teaser if you want a taste of what this update is all about: https://youtu.be/WLD_-lv3GA0
