That’s a fair analysis. We may not have communicated the launch in the best way. I’ll take that feedback into our next launch. I’ll also take the blame for that since I handle our social media.
I started at the end of last year, and one of my primary focuses has been on improving our communication. Two initiatives I’m doing is a monthly update and a monthly town hall. That’s in addition to our changelog (which I played a part in bringing to y’all). I take our communities feedback on communication seriously.
I can’t speak into what every person on our team is doing every day, but I know it involves our public roadmap (GPS is a big one, component marketplace was a big one, etc.), and just like every other software company, we are always working on security and performance (those two things are never ending in the life of a software developer). We have to walk a fine line of communicating what needs to be communicated, but also not communicating certain things because we also have competitors in the market and we need to maintain a competitive advantage to survive. I’ll be honest, it’s a tough line to walk. Our marketing and education team is working really hard on our Adalo App Academy (which is where most of my time is spent day to day).
As to the funding, I’m always confused when people bring that up because I wasn’t there during that time, and I’m not our finance guy. Idk what we spend money on, nor should I know haha. From my deduction, what I do know is that before funding we had 12 staff members. Now, we have 34. That’s where I’m guessing the funding is going . The people we hire are our greatest assets.
