PieFed development update Jan/Feb 2024

We've been busy! The PieFed mobile app is so close I can smell it and new translations for Chinese and Spanish make PieFed intelligible to around 4 billion people. Our roadmap for this year has been finalized which will kinda guide most of our priorities in the short to medium term.
