You can’t work this fast. Something like this can only come from a community of devout, passionate people who care more about what they are doing than anything else.

It seems that passion is stronger than budgets, sleep, and eating.

It’s easy to see the level of care that goes into each piece with no exception for “almost”. Each one of these is perfect executions reminds me that in whatever you’re business or product, no matter how big or small, you should not settle for anything less that perfect.
