fforward is shutting down.

Over the past year, we've had the privilege of building fforward. It's hard to stress how lucky we were to have had this opportunity to try to solve a problem we care so much about for such an incredible group of customers.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the traction needed to extend our runway. And so today, we're announcing that fforward will be shutting down, effective immediately.
