@butternut only 3 of them, though. And I'm pretty sure they expire after a couple weeks.

It's been a big year at Signal. Thanks to you, more & more people are speaking privately and freely. Thanks to you, we hit the top of app stores in multiple countries & served as critical global comms infrastructure. It's an honor to build Signal for you, with your support. 🩵

@mikepenz I've been thinking about writing a streamlined kmp "about this app" screen, and just realized I want to use 2 of your libs: AboutLibraries and multiplatform-markdown-renderer. Thanks for publishing those!
