So I'm excited to share that my recently launched a web game Quorbo.com (think Wheel of Fortune with some twists) has added Dark Mode support, confetti, more streak stats, and more! Give it a whirl and tell me what ya think - I've been iterating on it as fast as the feedback rolls in :D

More than half of Twitter Blue's earliest subscribers are no longer subscribed The early birds cancel their subscriptions.

β€œThat means around 81,843 users, or 54.5 percent, of Twitter users who subscribed to Twitter Blue when it first launched in November are no longer subscribed to the service.”
