This is our Style Guide where anyone who works on our app can look to get assets, sweet!

We got a bunch accomplished this week. With our recent release of Constant Contact business dashboards came a ton of stuff that helps us run the business, better! As we alluded to last week, we put a ton of work in our behind-the-scenes “Developer Console” so that when a new addition to the team arrives, they’re up and running FAST with anything they need to enhance our product, our add a new app. Go figure.

Live Style Guide

We’ve started to assemble a live style guide that will house examples of each of our high-reuse UI components. There are only a handful of things in it now, but it will grow over time. For example, when someone has to include a button in a screen, they’ll know exactly what button to use. Awesome!

Admin Tools & Instrumentation

It’s very important to all of us to have access to tools that will tell us exactly what’s going on with the app. So when we release anything we also release reports around it so that you don’t need to be highly technical to go to a webpage and read what’s happening.

  • We have reports that show if there were any errors if you tried to connect an application
  • If there was an error there’s a drill down into any information that could lead us to fix the issue going forward
  • Reports to see how many people are actively “online” and connected to Dasheroo

We do all of this so that we have information at our fingertips to make sure the user experience the best it can be.

We found a plug-in for WordPress for “related posts.” Since we’re driving a ton of traffic to the blog we want to make sure readers can get the most of what we write and uncover. So after each post you’ll see 5 more great articles that are related to the topic you’re reading.Screen Shot 2015-01-02 at 4.22.37 PM

We’re tightening up our feature roadmap on the road to launch by end of Q1, which is really exciting. There’s a lot to do and not enough hands to do it all but eventually much of it will get done.

Dasheroo By The Numbers:

  • We’re at over 11,500 Facebook Fans, it’s the number 1 social media traffic driver by far.
  • We’re at 1,730 Twitter followers, we’re gaining some traction here with Twitter traffic. It used to be a lot lower before we started being more active and posting at least 5 times a day.
  • We’re over 800 beta users! This is super exciting since all we really do is reach out via social media. We love our beta users!

Next app up? SurveyMonkey! We’re very excited about this, as it’s been a highly requested application. Plus, we use SurveyMonkey for our own surveys, and it’s great. We have some great dashboards in the works, so we’ll keep you updated on our progress. Oh yeah, want an app you don’t see? Vote for it here.

John’s got a meeting with a VC on Tuesday. We’re all pretty excited about it since these guys really know what they’re doing. They have offices in SF and NYC, we’d love to get a NYC based investor so that they can connect us with companies & agencies based there.

OK, back to work!
