Kumi is live.

Not "launching soon." Not "almost ready." Live, today, usable, open.

July 14th is still a real date. It is just not the day the doors open. That already happened. July 14th is when we start making noise about it: the public push, the version of this that is meant to be seen by people who have never heard of Kumi.

If you are reading this, you do not have to wait for that. You can go use it right now.

The Road Here

Kumi started as a tiny idea, then a scrappy beta, then a whole bunch of weeks of you all poking at it, breaking it, and telling us what felt off. That stuff never shows up in a changelog, but honestly? It's the part that mattered most.

So if you were in the beta at any point: thank you. Truly. The calm, ready little product that just went live is so much better because you hung out in the messier version with us.

The loud part is almost here. This is just us grinning and saying we noticed the road it took to get here 🕊️

Go play with it. That's really all.

Kumi is live! You honestly don't need to wait for July 14th to go poke around.

Discord is still the coziest place to hang out in the meantime: discord.gg/learnkumi

That's all! Short and sweet on purpose. 🙌

That’s it for this week.

What's a version of yourself, Japanese-wise, that you would not recognize from a year ago?
