None of this was built alone.

Shiki is an app about being witnessed. So was its making. With all my love and thanks —

Family

To my mother and my father — for everything that came long before the first line of code, and everything that held it up.

To my lola — for the kind of quiet steadiness a whole life gets built on.

To my sister — for being in my corner, every single day.

The crews

To 555 and FOMO — the crews who kept me showing up. You're the reason any of this rings true.

Special thanks

To Arthur Z. — for the machine every commit of Shiki was written on. MacBook Air · M1 · 2020. This was built on your generosity, literally.

"Iron sharpens iron — but only in a circle you were free to join, and free to leave."

Thank you for being in mine. — Josh
