Introducing Gluino
This week, we introduced Gluino to the world. My friend Sean and I have been working on this project for a bit. It’s officially a company, and we are officially making things happen.
In this post, I want to introduce you to the product and company and explain why I’m so excited. Maybe, at the end, I’ll even explain the name.
