A rough start in 2021
This year felt like an emotional rollercoaster so far: Colleagues come and go, we’ve got a new office and a few exciting projects to show.
Why the heck we built Battleship Teams
The metamorphosis from a silly idea to a lovely product.
Hello tiptap 2 beta!
After months of building tiptap 2.0, we’ve finally tagged its first beta version. I want to share a few of the most exciting changes with you.
Helpful job descriptions
Too many job descriptions fail to empathize with the reader and lack information. Why don’t we all make job descriptions more helpful?
Early access to tiptap 2
From now on, all sponsors are invited to the all-new tiptap 2. New sponsors will receive a personal invite automatically.
A new family member, an overblown Xmas party, and our open-source work
This is it, our last update in this fricking year full of global challenges. Let’s call it a day for this year, or as John Oliver says: “Fuck you, 2020”.
Transparent Salaries
People have a ton of reasons to avoid talking about their salary. Though, employers are the only ones benefiting from it.
Becoming a Remote Company
From the very beginning, home office was an essential part of our company’s DNA. Empowering remote work should be the next step.
Time Tracking
While we can understand the love-hate relationship many people have with time tracking, you shouldn’t overlook the benefits.
Sponsoring tiptap
Too many open source developers abandon their projects because they can’t sustain their work. Let’s find out together how this can work for tiptap.
A Great Pull Request
It took us years of using open source before we’ve sent our first code contribution. Though the source code is public, and everything seems accessible, taking the first step can be intimidating.
Our Blog
As product people, we always hoped to build something, and if it’s good enough, people will come and use it. From the beginning, that is our marketing strategy. Easy, isn’t it?
The Perfect Project
You can try to get every project. Or you can select your projects wisely and use them to challenge yourself and grow with every partner you have.
(Not) Working on Side Projects
Over the years, we tried to fit our side projects into different time slots. Nothing felt right to us, so I tried to find out what works for others.
Keep Learning
Somehow everyone expects creatives to learn in their free time, which you should dedicate to recharging the batteries, spending some time with the family, or do nothing at all.
Time Off
Everybody needs some time off now and then. We make sure that you can enjoy that time, without thinking about work at all.
Monetizing Your Open Source Project
We double down on our open source projects without knowing how we make money with it. Open source software is accessible for free, so how can we make it sustainable?
Lessons from a Year of Side Projects
We’ve worked on side projects for as long as I remember but started just a year ago to make it part of our daily work. I want to share a few of our insights with you.
Tools
Most of us work from home now. That showed even more how essential the tools we use daily are for a smooth collaboration. Let’s have a look at what we’re using!
Fixed Budgets
We’ve always put more time into projects than the budget allowed, and feared to kill our company with an overdose of unpaid work. I want to share with you a few of our experiences.
List of Side Projects
It’s been a year since we started to build side projects regularly. We planned to launch ten projects in 12 months. Let’s look at what we’ve got now.
The Schedule
Let’s face it, as a digital agency, we sell our time to deliver creative work. We use scheduling to bring more calmness into our lives, while also increasing the quality of our work, and here’s how.
Our Plan for tiptap 2
With tiptap we built a renderless text editor for the Web. Today, it’s already used by thousands of developers, and we plan to release a completely new version of it. Here’s everything you need to know about the current state and the current roadmap.
Stopping a Project
It’s a pretty good reason not to publish something if you’re not happy with the quality. That’s why we don’t plan to release matter.md.
30 Posts
I started a blog, and it has a few posts, that’s it. You all added this to your feed reader, but none of you will get a new post to your inbox anyway. Let’s try something new!
Share Everything
All our apps will be open source. Even the ones that we sell licenses for. There is nothing we won’t share with you. So why are we doing this?
