Biggest release of 2024? Shipped a whole new human! Our little daughter joined the family beta testing team. And yes, those dad reflexes got an automatic upgrade - now running on v2.0 👶

Speaking of shipping, here's what else made it to production:

Worked with the folks at Delta Exchange to supercharge their performance - we managed to cut load times in half! ⚡

Had a blast helping MakingToday crush it on ProductHunt. Still pumped about that #1 spot! 🏆

Over at Magnifi, convinced the team to give Playwright a shot instead of Selenium. Few weeks in, the QA team saw the benefits! 🎯

My own baby (the work kind), KlarityPro, got some cool new tricks this year - AI chat, better memory, and a nifty Chrome extension that turns YouTube videos into text. Building something from scratch has been both terrifying and exciting. 💪

Looking forward to more shipping in 2025! 🚀

I attempted to submit neetoCal, to Appsumo. 

Unfortunately, after waiting for several weeks, my submission was not approved. When we inquired with the Business Development Team, they explained that since 95% of the features of neetoCal are in the free plan, it did not meet the requirements for a deal on Appsumo. They suggested pricing it at $29, similar to Tidycal (by Appsumo), and launching it on the platform. 

I understand where Appsumo is coming from. However, neetoCal’s pricing reflects our belief that scheduling software is a commodity and thus should be priced as a commodity.

If you're interested, here's the deal that you missed https://www.neeto.com/neetocal.

As a new father, I have been blessed with the opportunity to watch my daughter take her first baby steps. It has been an incredible experience to see her learn and grow, and I have been eager to be a part of it every step of the way.

One evening, as we were out for our usual walk, my daughter began falling more often than usual. As a concerned father, I worried that she might start crying and that I would have to carry her back home. However, to my surprise, she didn't cry. Instead, she kept trying to stand up with a smile on her face.

This moment was a powerful reminder to me of the importance of perseverance and determination. As adults, we often give up too quickly when faced with challenges or obstacles. We let setbacks discourage us and make us lose sight of our goals. But my daughter's example showed me that if we keep trying to stand up with a smile on our faces, even when we fall, we can achieve so much more.

It's easy to get discouraged in life, but it's important to remember that every step, every fall, and every stumble is a step towards progress. And like my daughter, we can choose to embrace those moments with a smile and learn from them.

So, let's take inspiration from our little ones and keep trying to stand up with a smile, no matter how many times we fall. Because as long as we keep moving forward, we will reach our goals and learn to walk.
