Talk to me about sort of distribution arbitrage and the Slack app exchange.

You know, one of the big hits that Slack gets is that there is no methodology for ranking apps in sort of a democratic way.

In other words, there's no reviews sort from high review to low.

It just is sort of it feels almost random at times or who's buddy, buddy, most buddy, buddy with the Slack app crew.

How do you optimize the chaser listing to get more installs from Slack app directory?

Yeah, I guess it's just hard, right?

Because if someone wants to discover Chaser through that, either you have to work really hard to get direct traffic to the link you gave us with meta ads, or you get free organic exposure in the app director because you have so many installs.

The problem is when I click on categories,

And I go to productivity and then I sort by popularity, which is the default sorting, you know, it's drive, Google calendar, Trello, blah, blah, blah.

These are hard for you to like beat as a startup.

And so it's like, what's the arbitrage?

Like, do you go partner with the Trello app exchange instead?

Cause there's less competition, for example.

What's your bet?

I mean, do you have a thesis here yet or no, you're still really truly are still developing it.

I don't disagree with any of that.

I agree with all of that.

What I'm saying is like, if nobody knows about you because you can't arbitrage the top 15 spots in the, in the app exchange, then it doesn't matter.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I mean, look, it's the unwritten language, right?
