we hope that when you think of gm, you remember your notifications blowing up and the excitement of trying to climb the leaderboard. we had a lot of fun building something that brought so many people joy, and look forward to working on the next thing. 7/8
before this happens, we have one more thing. we’re rolling out gb (goodbye) mode until the app is shut down, at which point we will delete everyone’s data. If you’d like to say gb, please update your testflight to the latest version testflight.apple.com/join/A4…. 6/8
however, we’ve come to the unfortunate conclusion that maintaining the app is unsustainable for our small, self-funded, and very tired team. as a result, we’ll be shutting down gm tonight (friday) at 11:59pm et. 5/8
we shut the app down as soon as we realized that something was wrong and immediately worked to secure it. we’ve since brought things back online and locked down all private information. 4/8
unfortunately, like any party, we had some bad guests. on sept 1 at ~9am et, we discovered that someone may have gained unauthorized access to our users’ data by, we believe, decompiling our app binary and stealing certain credentials. 3/8
gm started as a small project among friends that we built for laughs. when we shared the testflight link, we were shocked (in a fun way) at the # of people who signed up and are deeply thankful to the ~9,000 (!!!) of you. 2/8
glad to know we aren't the only gm having issues lol

if you are prompted to create a new account and are getting a "taken!" error when you type in your original username, please make sure you update to the latest version of the app in your testflight app - that will fix it <3
