FYI this comment comes across as very unnatural marketing through 'community engagement', hijacking the top comment. This is HN not some business Bros you can lull to market with 'journey' fluff. Please don't abuse HN.

Thanks @jabberthemutt, you might be right on the marketing-y speak for HN.
Basically I was one of the people that started the open source project and I'm trying to find out what the top issues are so we can fix them.

The last lines would have sufficed then! ;)
Thanks for your wonderful software BTW!
People care a lot about their communication systems and we're continually listening and working to improve.
The $20M Series A helps us more quickly narrow the gap between open source and proprietary solutions.
We want to continue to invest, grow and raise funding so we can relentlessly improve open source options.
I've found that the customers that choose Mattermost have a long term view. They're joining us on the journey that brings more choice to the market. They share the belief that the world can be made safer and more productive through open source technologies.
A $20M Series A may not seem like a lot compared to the $1.2B Slack has raised to date--But it's four times the size of Slack's $5M Series A in 2010: https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/slack-series-a--539...
@h3throw, may I beg you for a favor?
So I can learn more about addressing your comment in 2), could you help share one thing we can improve?
