A post from Odessa, Ukraine

I use Codijy Pro to colorize old photos. It's fun and can be a real challenge at times. The software is developed in Odessa, Ukraine by some great people. They are still in operation and you can still get it if you want. I wanted to post this to show the resolve of the Ukrainian people in the face of adversity.

This is a bit of a long post, but I ask you to read it to the end! Dear friends, I want to thank you for all your support. We, CODIJY team, continue our work. Ruslan is in evacuation with his children, I stay with my family in our hometown to support those who protect it, and those in need. We are restoring all operations, which has been on hiatus since the war came to our country, Ukraine.
For the last couple of months, we have continued to work hard on CODIJY products. We have been working in several directions - developing the current version, refining the new product, adding new partners. Right now I'm working on finalizing the translation of the new website and will gradually update it depending on the situation.( If you can help me test it please PM).
Ruslan is in the process of restoring his work at his current location. We want to release an update, which should fix some critical issues that arose from the release of version 4 of CODIJY Colorizer Pro and CODIJY Recoloring.
Our partner company, which is building international channels for CODIJY on our behalf, this week signed an agreement with Ashampoo company, who will promote our product through their channels, which we hope will engage many more people into our creative circle and I hope that soon our group will greet new members!
We successfully work on more partnerships, because we have created a great product that even professional colorists like Dana Keller describes (in an email we received) as “an impressive achievement in implementing the colorization process into the user-friendly platform”. I want you to know that this is happening thanks to your invaluable support!
I’m sure you know that for years we relied on you, our community as the source of ideas and inspiration for our product development. We are constantly studying everything you published, both in terms of feedback and requests, and in terms of analysis of your works. I have been actively participating and supporting our community members whenever possible. With the growth of our project and the challenges we faced, I was upset to have fewer opportunities to engage in talks, but I've always kept an eye on our group’s creative dynamics and was endlessly impressed with all findings and styles that coexisted and were evolving in our group!
Knowing that people feel sad about the situation in our country today, I want to tell you that despite everything that happens, our project is here to bring joy, inspiration, creative discoveries, and fun. It’s a pain to think that you may feel upset when looking at the icon of our product or group. In case you do, please remember that the light of joy and creation in our world is always greater than the grief of suffering and destruction. This is what we not just feel, but know thanks to the support and prayers of the millions of people around the world.
All these days I was thinking how you may feel and what I can do for you. And the best idea I had was to encourage you to open CODIJY (or any app you are using ) and immerse yourself in the incredible colorizing process! I promise you that I'll be sure to join you quite soon!
With much love to all our friends,
Vera & Ruslan, the authors of CODIJY colorizing software, from Odessa, Ukraine

I don't know what all this means. But if you are in Ukraine now, I feel your pain! Keep strong!
