About 2 weeks ago I open-sourced my project, Puter after 3 years of work and more than 1 million people using it.
In less than 2 weeks it gained more than 10,000 stars, 30 contributors and 50 major PRs merged. Just to give you an idea of the scale of the contributions, in less than 48 hours Puter was fully translated into 20 languages by native speakers. Even the main website saw a record breaking number of visitors: more than 500k!

Thank you for everything, my life will never be the same :)
