We deeply appreciate our tolerant and accepting users here, who are willing to embrace a unique product like Supernote. Even though our small and growing brand is far from perfect, our US users have continued to support us with genuine sincerity, standing by us and witnessing our growth every step of the way. We are truly grateful. No matter what kind of turbulence occurs in the US market, as long as Ratta exists, we remain dedicated to serving our US users well. We commit to ensuring a normal pace of software releases and speeding up the process of increasing hardware and software openness. We will continue to monitor policy changes and keep you updated.
