[h3]Thank You![/h3]
Finally, we just wanted to say thank you. Discounty has been a passion project that began as a tiny shopkeeping prototype all the way back in 2020. We've come such a long way since then, going into launch with over 160,000 wishlists -- so much more than we dared to hope for when we started this journey 5 years ago.

This was only possible because of you: your constant support, spreading the word on social media, and always cheering us on. It's been such a long wait, and we hope you enjoy Discounty as much as we loved making it.

xoxo
