It’s no shock to anyone that we’re in the age of subscriptions.

When print media started making the move to digital, newspapers were cautiously optimistic.

Was watching this @leeerob video on How Vercel builds Vercel and had some thoughts.

You know the deal: you want to read about the latest horrifying global event, so you click on the first link, and… it’s paywalled.

I was listening to another great episode of Hackers Incorporated where Ben and Adam reviewed 2023 and figured it would be good to clean up my internal notes and do a blog post about it.

'Listen to your customers', 'focus on your clients' problems' – recurring advice you'll recognise from pretty much every startup book on the market.

I've been neglecting this blog and the 112 people that subscribed for updates 🙁 But life took over and just couldn't bring myself to sit down and write.

If you're in a software or product company I'm sure you have heard the advice of "don't deploy on Friday."

Recently I had to answer some data questions around our ideal customer so I needed a way to calculate LTV.

With all the commotion around Twitter, Mastodon, and the Fediverse (what is the Fediverse video) I've been reading into the alternatives to centralised and content silos.

Adopting Basecamps 'Shape-Up' method at Prezly transformed our company.

It's been almost three months since we moved to Spain and I figured it was time for an update as the last one is dated from the beginning of September.

💡 This article is updated.

Writing and publishing a blog post or press release is at the core of the Prezly product and we want to make it better, faster, more powerful and easier to use.

Another 3 weeks passed by in a heartbeat Took some time to write a quick update.

We've had a free trial form for over a year now and we're constantly fighting people that sign up to abuse our system.

It's been three weeks since we moved to Spain and here is a quick update on how it's going.

Last Thursday the day had come to pack up our stuff and take the 1250km drive to our new home.

Two steps forward, one step back This would be my most accurate one-liner of what it feels like to build a company from a three-person founding team to a few-million revenue/30+ headcount business.

Upgraded the blog.

We bought a house in Catalonia and we're moving this summer We've been contemplating a move abroad for a few years now and we finally did it.

Disclaimer: I am no expert in product analytics and definitely not claiming to be.

Because I learned the hard way that my phone usage was messing with my mood I've been trying to limit my phone usage with mixed success.

Annelies and I had planned a last-minute four-day road trip through the Spanish Pyrenees to see what it would be like living there.

The interface in which I am writing this blog post is over 5 years old and has UX issues.

I've been thinking for a while that I needed to document the different ways we use Prezly to run Prezly.

You know how you have one Netflix account shared within your immediate family, a few colleagues, that couple you met on holiday and your family physician?

While I'm searching for inspiration to design, build and integrate the best possible newsroom in Prezly I wanted to share the plans on how we're want to do this.

Is 'newsroom expert' a job title?
