What people say
Example posts from the sample, each linked to the original on X and edged with the label it was given. A handful of posts cannot stand in for 8, so read the score and the topic table first. Quoted here and want it removed?
The number I'm proudest of after 5 months of Dictato isn't the 50 licenses sold. It's this: 5 reviews, all 5 stars. Not one exception. I'll take a small product people love over a big one they tolerate.
