Hello Weavers! Today marks the anniversary of when I officially started Realmac šŸŽ‰ It was way back on the 19th of November 2002. 17 years ago. It doesnā€™t feel like itā€™s been that long. The years certainly feel like they are starting to fly by faster than ever beforeā€¦ I really should do an in-depth post at some point about our history, but today is not that day. Today is about celebrating! And to celebrate surviving the ups and downs of the unforgiving technical landscape for the past 17 years, weā€™re offering [30% off all our products](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/black/?paddle_coupon=BLACKFRIDAY2019). The discount includes RapidWeaver, Squash, our tutorial video series, and subscriptions over at the [RapidWeaver Community website](https://rapidweavercommunity.com/black). This offer will be valid over the sales period of [Black Friday](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/black/?paddle_coupon=BLACKFRIDAY2019) and [Cyber Monday](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/black/?paddle_coupon=BLACKFRIDAY2019). I really appreciate all the support weā€™ve had over the years and feel very thankful for being able to get up and do this everyday. **Viva la Realmac!** ---

Yes, congratulations. I think Iā€™ve been using RW since version 2 and itā€™s good to see itā€™s still going strong. Of course, strong developer support and Stacks have been essential to your success but those are only there because you provided good plug-in architecture and fostered a vibrant community. Well done! ---
