I just had an impressively pleasant customer service experience with @fastmail. Turns out it wasn't even their issue, but they responded quickly and in exactly the level of detail I needed.

I just published a personal narrative about my experience developing and maintaining an online chat tool called Speechbox. From its inception in 2007 to its current state, I discuss the challenges and successes encountered along the way.
