Some people have asked how to export all of their Mosuki events, including past events. There is a way to do it, but it’s very stressful on our servers, so we won’t be making it public. If you want to export your entire Mosuki history, please contact us here, and we’ll send you instructions.

In the early days at Mosuki, Jonathan implemented a table to store “certifications,” which are essentially directed, labeled edges [...]
