Are you saying she didn't write the content of the newsletters, or moderate the Slack, or write those blog posts? I don't think anyone is contending that she wrote the code but I know my own interest in WakaTime would have waned without the community and the newsletters.
I am still unsatisfied with your version of events because it seems to discount that Priyanka did any work at all.

Her first blog post was on: 2014-12-16
Her last blog post was on: 2015-03-31
This doesn't look like an sophisticated engagement.

Here's a Google Trends chart for 'WakaTime':

That first spike is December 2014. Interesting timing!
The last Slack notification email I have from her is from 10/26/2015. Why is it so hard to believe that she did a year or so's worth of work for WakaTime? Why are her contributions to be valued less because they aren't code?
At the time I was happy when she said she would send the newsletter emails for me, but now I see she just wanted people to think she was the public face for WakaTime to further a tech founder persona. Yea I made a mistake letting her send newsletters on behalf of WakaTime, but that doesn't mean she can claim to have built WakaTime.
> This response is fishy as hell.
I didn't raise a fuss when I should have because I didn't want to cause her trouble, but then she demanded a large sum of money from me in exchange for giving me WakaTime... when she never owned WakaTime. That's what I consider fishey.
