Leen Gasim (ID: 0000002dbe5434c5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/30/2022 The thing I like most is rephrasing. Right now, IMO, it is going in the right direction and is going to give a strong competition to Grammarly.

Nick Mavridis (ID: 00000097ca34e596) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/01/2021 The developer of Switchy found the magic formula. Don't overcharge, deliver a feature-full product and sit back and watch the masses flock. He blew the competition out of the water! There are 20 other link shorteners startups he put out of business right after he launched on appsumo. Now, what's what I call cornering the market. Kudos to this dude. I would buy him coffee... or a coffee shop.
