Acknowledgments
Thank you.
A small number of people backed this before there was anything to back. No proof. No product. No one helped yet. Just a quiet faith that the work was worth doing, and a willingness to stand behind it while it was still only an idea.
They know who they are. Saraf is here because they were here first.
On naming people
Being named on a public page is a claim about a person, not a compliment to them. Saraf lists a name only when that person has given permission and the description of what they did is exactly right. Until both are true, the thanks stand without the list.
You took the early risk. I intend to make it worth it.
