So my @hellopingpong journey has come to an end. It has been an amazing ride since we first built this thing as a weekend project over 6 years ago.

Very proud of @kocsmy and the many people who played a part over the years: can't wait to see where you head next with Hotjar 👏

We’ve acquired @hellopingpong – a user interviews platform – and we’re integrating it right into our Hotjar! 🤩

We’re calling it Hotjar Engage – and the open beta is live now.

@johnwbaxter @kocsmy Thank you - it has been a journey, for sure!

@ZaChristensen__ @cmpscabral @cicadadesign @ilyamiskov It's https://t.co/wpVaEKqTxh

@ferrannp @react_native_eu @callstackio @barbara_markie Enjoy!

@edgolub @linear @linear reported here, too. In both the web app, and on desktop (mac).

@andrewculver @mijustin Maintaining a more public/visible changelog on the main website might help, not just relying on the GitHub repo commits.

p.s. clicking from Home > Documentation breaks the browser back button in Chrome - end up stuck on your docs site.

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@andrewculver @mijustin Perhaps updating your blog/public marketing content more frequently? I checked back in on Bullet Train recently and assumed that the product wasn't operational (no blogs since 2020). Jumpstart looks more 'alive' than BT right now.

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@johnwbaxter Very nice!

@lauraklein Not a direct answer to your question in terms of an enterprise tool that pulls it off, but you might find this post interesting on the topic of customisation vs. simplicity: https://t.co/JRikEcXoMl

@ErikReagan Unfortunately I can't help address your actual need, but just wanted to say it's really cool to see how far you guys have travelled — from EE dev a few years ago, all the way through to sunsetting dev entirely.

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@levelsio @reustle @aranawrites Soi 38 as well!

@MattWilcox @johnwbaxter I concur - Obsidian is phenomenal if you're on the lookout for a whole new way of managing information (not just meeting notes).

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@dburka Fantastic to see Simple go from strength to strength.

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@davidcbaker Had this elegantly expressed to me a few years back: "market to prospects, not peers". Always stuck with me.

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@nikillinit I think that's a more compelling argument when you're mainly building greenfield product (as we do) - not sure it'd work with a legacy product. And has to be countered by setting expectations that a public launch is likely to be measured in months/years, not weeks.

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@nikillinit I've found that emphasising the "we build very high quality, tested products", because you can't move fast and break things with SaMD is appealing. i.e. a software craftsmanship approach.

@kevinmcdonagh @Matterport @Custoriantours Good luck!

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@mostlyinane Congrats on your successful organ transplant!

[Jon Lay @jon_lay]

@dburka @johnwbaxter @wearehanno Love this! Thanks for sharing (and playing a part in putting it together)
