Building products ๐ and trying to make the perfect cup of coffee โ๏ธ. Also ๐ดโโ๏ธ. Working on the future of HR @PersonioHR ๐ฐ๏ธ @BackHQ_, @marleyspoon, @fyber
It's hard to mimic the full experience of @beat81_fitness at home, but I thought that at least the data part can be replicated. And so GT81 was born - a personal, web version of the in-workout dashboard.

And it worked. No JIRA, no tickets, no sprint plannings. Tech stack stayed, but we found a way to make it work. And then just talking to customers, clear priorities, and shipping cool stuff as a team. Good times. 2/2
This might seem so obvious to me now, but when we started @BackHQ_, we did not get all of these right. Too much process, complex stack, and not enough shipping. Over time we removed process, hired the right people, and focused everyone around simple and ambitious goals. 1/2
โHow to ship fast as a small company looking for product-market fitโ โ by @varunsrin@farcaster_xyz is one of the fastest engineering teams Iโve ever seenโฆ
Here is how they operate:
@lizadixon I still remember the smell of our local VHS rental and how anxious I always was when returning a VHS, fearing I would somehow have to pay extra for it.
@roxanehassler @producttank My first thought when I saw the photo was โOh, I know this template, someoneโs using Pitchโ. Only then I checked who tweeted:)
@pveugen I'm so impressed by the pace at which you're shipping! I've been using @detailapp since the P9 Founder Summit in 2021 and just love to see how the product is advancing. Well done!
Personally, the last 4 years have been really crazy, but I'm really glad I had the chance to build the Back product from the ground up ๐. I'm really proud of the things we shipped and the close relationships we built with our customers โค๏ธ. Let's see what the future holds!
A little over 4 years after @janiszech first introduced me to @egg_ert, we're getting started on a different (yet similar) journey. Yesterday we announced that @BackHQ_ is joining forces with @PersonioHR, and we're really thrilled about building the PWA vision together.
Congrats @egg_ert & @jameslafa about joining Personio.
Soooo many good memories from analyzing Future of Work problems to solve, founding @BackHQ_, onboarding @its_honza as the first crazy one to join, building v0.1 & attracting the first customers like @remergeio...
Rock on!

Our FF system is a Google Sheet from which we regularly pull data into redis. Is it hacky? Yes. Does it work? Yes. It can't do crazy targeting, but for staged rollouts and "settings-like FFs" it's perfect.
