@maclopad Time zones. This is live.
@jasonfried That counter is begging for `font-variant: tabular-nums`!
@jasonfried Thank you for the free version. 🙇♂️
@jasonfried Why’d you crop out antarctica?
What are you hiding??
@jasonfried Hello from Cape Town, right at the bottom there 😎
@jasonfried Funny to see the distribution across regions, any idea why adoption seems so low across nordics compared to say Philippines? Is it a time zone thing ?
@jasonfried is this using the rails channels i.e action cable ?

@AmandaBPerino BUSTED!
@CamiMirabalMktg Hey!!
@jasonfried This was the best feature of Intercom back in the 2010s
@jasonfried this is so freaking cool!

@normdimick Glad to have you, Norm!
@BowTiedFocus Wouldn't you like to know!
