The first month of development in 2020 is behind us. We have been active on all fronts and great progress has been made throughout our product line. We would like to thank every contributor that has helped us by opening issues, providing solutions or suggesting improvements. Also, don’t forget to 🌟 us on GitHub.

The ARK Monthly Development Report covers all pull requests (opened, closed, merged) as well as all issues opened and closed in every ARK Ecosystem public repository, the number of contributors during that month, the number of new stargazers and total lines of GitHub code added or deleted. This info is presented here in a concise one-page blog.
