Quotes (from this video)
- the more I went through the page, the less I liked the video because I feel like there's a lot of things that we could have spotlighted better.
- It just felt like it was slid in in the video as like, "Oh, by the way, we also have an app." And it shouldn't have been.
- Like this main image, the more I look at it, the more angry I get. I'm like that guy with the angry face that's cuz there's so many nice looking components. They're just like, "Hey, here's our art of a pig."
- this one feels like one of those ones with just some unfortunate circumstances coming together.
