  • Pushing boundaries
    Oct 31 2024

    Benedicte is winning at her quarterly goal. Benedikt makes great progress with company triggers.

    • Benedicte makes the Twitter-viral butter chicken recipe

    With only two months left in the year, Benedicte is crushing her quarterly goal: to have an enjoyable everyday life. At Whee, she’s pushing the boundaries of their Make plan, and will be testing out a tool for their customer SMS.

    Benedikt and the Userlist team are making good progress with the company triggers feature. While there’s still a long way to go, Benedikt shares that they’ve now got a rough idea of how they can streamline this feature with everything else.

  • Do we really need an app for everything?
    Oct 17 2024

    Benedikt comes back from MicroConf. Benedicte returns from their fall vacation.

    • Benedicte’s view while coding on the boat
    • Benedicte and tech are in a situationship

    Benedikt is feeling a bit drained after having an eventful time at MicroConf. While the conference itself was great, he experienced interesting things along the way: from getting flights cancelled to being in the same hotel with a world leader.

    Benedicte and her Pirate family spent a nice fall vacation on a boat with Captain Ola’s friend. But with the Framer Plugin launch happening in the middle of the vacation, she had to do some last minute changes because of a Framer API change. Benedicte also shares their summer plans for next year.

    Benedikt and Benedicte talk about cache busting, if we really need an app for everything, and more.

  • Get up off the desk
    Oct 11 2024

    Benedicte and Benedikt talk about how taking breaks actually help your projects, and more.

    • The power of breaks, a story in three parts
    • Leo’s talk at EmberFest

    Benedicte’s excited for the wins at her fractional roles: they’ve just launched their Framer plugin at Outseta; and she discovered the wonders of Make.com while creating a Stripe webhook for Whee. But despite doing a lot of stuff at work, Benedicte now makes sure she has time to take care of herself.


    Meanwhile, Benedikt is enjoying the conference season. He just returned from EmberFest in Dublin where he met Leo in person for the first time. He’ll also be going to MicroConf Europe. The Userlist team’s also making great progress on company triggers.
