    All right, this is, this is Clint with crypto with a pro tip on.

    I guess growth hacking really. Yeah, so like, so we, we built online education for free and the we custom engineered it, not because we just couldn't find anything that did it better but the most important thing that we did at the end was when you finish this course, you go through like a bunch of instructions in our product and we teach you how to use it and has like a, you know, interactive experience for doing it, but at the end it says like, Hey, I am Clint sharp and I have completed the fundamentals course for dribble and then you can share it online and that has been the most popular thing, and every other vendor that's in the startup space that I talked to is like we love your sandboxes. We love the fact that like we see your certificates on LinkedIn like everybody sees, they don't see the sandbox what they see is that like we have hundreds of people who have been through this world, and they share it on LinkedIn, they're like, oh I completed the criminal Fundamentals course and the venues are incredible. And so I went and searched for they have a simple thing that I actually don't integrate with them directly, Xavier integrates with. So I call I post to Xavier and Xavier goes to the workflow and it adds an extra certificate an incredible and incredible and then when they're done they can share the certificate on LinkedIn, it's been by far the most, the biggest thing for awareness that we have done because everybody shares on LinkedIn and they're like, Hey, I got this certificate takes him an hour to get through it and like just highly recommend.

    Sure. And then I'm sure you can make it to a one and a 301 course if you, we actually

    have, I think 13 of these that we've developed now, over time, some of them have certificates, some of them don't have certificates, and I think that's actually a really big product opportunity I looked at a lot of things like Cata Kota and other things during the time and none of them were, were really what I wanted simply was like documentation at the left, the product of the right and a terminal at the bottom, like that was what I needed, and the, we found that we actually this is actually something that's really different about Gribble is that, like, part of our purpose like the thing I was talking about earlier, like we sell to IT and security professionals, and we build first principles innovation and software, like that's what we do, we don't do things other people have done we build things from this from where we see a problem that isn't solved, like I would much rather actually found something that did this thing but there was nothing else that did that thing and so like if there was nothing else that did it, then we're gonna go do it and so we actually built the terminal. The terminal is there's actually my software like it actually opens up a TTY and exposes it over a WebSocket and like I built that piece and that's the documentation piece we got from docky source which is a Facebook project that we framed in the other thing. But then another thing is like when we started, it was literally just like 1990s html like iFrame, iFrame, iFrame, right like that, that's like you couldn't resize them you couldn't do anything else, it was like the happiest UI because I'm not a good UI guy like that's not what I'm really good at, but like it works because of the frame, frame, frame and then over time, I was like oh I'll make it a React UI. And so like, now it's actually like a really mature thing that we're thinking about open sourcing like to actually like hey here's this online education thing that you can use when we started with it was the happiest thing you've ever seen.

    Yeah, super cool. Yeah, so we kind of honestly need this this as a product to some degree is like we've been playing around with the idea of like having like a revolute style interface to demo our product. But like we just, you know, don't don't have the time to do it but I also think like the, the incredible thing is genius I can just imagine the FOMO of like being, you know, our persona like a data engineer or someone like this and seeing the accreditation on like someone else that you work with like LinkedIn profile going like is that, why do we Why do they, why do they market themselves as having that skill like maybe I should go check that out and like it would be so genius like I think that's great, it'd be cool to like,

    share it inside the company, like I just did this.

    We have hunt like maybe more than 1000 Now, like we've had hundreds of people go through these courses, and that was the biggest social thing we've ever done.

    Okay, good to see someone builds it. You should open source it by the way.
