Talking about an acquisition

This podcast is hosted by transistor dot f m. Hey, everyone. Welcome to Build Your SaaS. This is the behind the scenes story of building a web app in 2020. I'm John Buda, a software engineer. And I'm Justin Jackson. I do product and marketing follow along as we build transistor.fm. So, John, a little little bit of a break last week. Yeah. We had a busy week. We're we're both kinda busy or just a little bit Yeah. Yeah. I think it's I think it's okay to take a break every once in a while. Actually, we're gonna talk about that a little bit later. But I thought maybe we'd start the show just doing kind of a general, I don't know, an update on Transistor, how things are going.

Multiple people on Twitter saying they wanted to get one, but they couldn't. So I think that's actually probably what happened and interesting to see how you know, we always think of human beings as individuals, but they really do move in groups. Like, I had this thought when the lockdown happened, I've always been into these looping machines. Mhmm. And I was like, maybe now's the time to get that looping machine. And I wasn't the only one to have that thought. Like, looping machines also, were sold out in a lot of places. So there was something about being in your house going, okay. You know, this is the time to get that VR headset. This is the time to get that microphone and do that podcast. Yeah. I mean, the all that …
