Q being a technical founder and using no code tools to build a platform. Um, tell me about that. So when you, when you listed on micro acquire, how was buyers, you know, initial reaction to your product being on no code, as opposed to, you know, something custom or built on some fancy technology.

What does this look like? What is maintaining this look like? Uh, and they quickly learned that actually, uh, it's, it's advantageous to build on no code in many ways, especially in these early days, because the cost to maintain it is lower.
