The four pieces below cover the useful parts. There was a bigger update away from the changelog too. In an earlier newsletter i told you about the very ordinary intention that started Respira: i wanted to upgrade the family car. Not a unicorn milestone. Not a funding round. Just a basic thing my family needed, and something i hoped building a useful product could make possible. On day 255 since launch, it happened. ![Mihai and his son standing beside the family car made possible by Respira](https://www.respira.press/newsletter/day-255-family-car.jpg) **You made that possible.** Everyone who bought Respira, reported a bug, challenged a decision, recommended it to someone, or kept using it while i was still sanding down the rough edges. Thank you. *This one means a lot.* 1\.

Time spent performing marketing is time i am not fixing the bug you found or building the thing you need next. **Real words from people doing real work with Respira are the part of marketing i cannot manufacture.** Honestly, they are more useful than anything i could write about myself. If Respira saved you hours or made you go “wow,” leave an honest review on G2\. If you are on a paid plan, upload a screenshot from your dashboard and i will add **1 more site** to your plan for as long as you subscribe. You get more room to use Respira; i get to stay heads-down building it.
