In this episode of "Imagining Arc," Josh dives into our upcoming board check-in call and the creative tensions we're currently working through at The Browser Company: when and how to ship Arc 2.0? How do we keep Arc simple but also non-incremental? Should we optimize for growth or monetization?
Alongside prep for our board call, Josh shares one thing that's going well, one thing that isn't, and one thought on his mind this week at The Browser Company.
