This morning I got a chance to talk to Hristo about HeroPress, but we also talked about his WordPress origin story and other interesting things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZqWxf0wU2k
I’m excited to present Chris Lema’s thoughts on why he wants to speak for HeroPress. He brings a wealth of experience to us, and I appreciate it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP-E2hCo_Vg If you like what we’re doing, please contribute to our Kickstarter.
