And also, I think almost any app, when you first encounter it, might feel a little overwhelming. If you've never seen Discord before and you open it up, there's a lot going on. But some of these apps that we're competing with, most folks have seen them before, and so now they have forgotten that first initial feeling of, oh, there's so much happening, it's different.

So we really want to help folks through that experience with Zulip, because... We do have a lot of users who are coming in who haven't interacted with it before to really get them across this threshold of like, oh, I get it. This is comfortable. This is not, you know, some things about it are different, but a lot of patterns I'm familiar with from other applications work here as well.
