Projects
Data Insights
Started out as a project to gain insights from external vendors
Email Client launched
What kind of metrics measures the success of the launch?
So I asked myself...
Number of new email accounts connected to the app.
Turns out the metrics were pretty useful...
So a few more insights were requested
What it will not be...
- Undocumented
- Poorly structured
- Just another dead project when I leave
SDKs
SDKs
- Makes development for 3rd party developers delightful

Stagnate
Opportunity.
