Hey there, Shit Givers.
Normally, these are supposed to come out on Wednesday’s, but with all the chaos happening in LA right now, we were a bit delayed.
To anyone in LA currently dealing with evacuations, loss, wildfire smoke, and everything else, I’m so sorry and I hope you and your loved ones are safe.
If you are looking for resources or ways you can help, we have some linked in the “What’s New” section below — if you have any other recommendations that we should add, please reply to this email.
As the whole team took a break over the holidays, we don’t have any app updates to share today, but will soon!
Stay safe,
— Willow
