Thank you! We didn't know that the project would reach this many people and the first week the site went live gave us a massive impostor syndrome.

Thank you! It is now being handed over to a web dev agency so they can maintain it and build further. Maybe it will be open-sourced (we are advocating for that and i know that the WEDO org also likes the idea :) ). I'll keep you updated!
