Five years ago I released the very first version of Kirby. I can’t believe how time flies and what has happened in those five years. I’m incredibly thankful for the ongoing support from all of you and from the entire team. It’s still such an unbelievable feeling to stand up each morning and start working on this project, to see it grow and to visit the sites you build with it. Just let me say thank you! I seriously can’t wait for the coming years! — Bastian ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/0/0e5e87ba153fde04d4c6ad459afe5fd1dbbfc370.jpg) ---
