       | 
       | In reality welcome.htm [1] deviates from index.html [2] in a
       | curious way.

       | Props!

       | what a pleasant surprise seeing Root here! They're one of our
       | investors. The entire firm is made up of engineers who've shipped

       | also happen to be genuinely good people. Honestly, their website
       | (and office) is just a good reflection of who they are as a firm.
