Derigo Dash

After a short intermezzo, we're back on track! In the latest release, we introduced a light/dark theme to match your preferences and improved the UX by polishing the design of the widgets and hiding your widget's information - during screen sharing sessions - to assure your privacy.

Our users can now start building better productive habits with the new Habit Tracker widget. Research shows us that people who define and track their habits consistently achieve more. Use the Habit Tracker to stay on track and keep yourself motivated.

The feedback we get from our users is taken seriously. That’s why every week we release a new version containing the top voted requests and improvements.

That's why core functionality has been added for the Todo Widget. You can now add sub-tasks to all your to-do items and drag & drop items between your lists.

Derigo Dash can now even be used with a Personal KanBan setup or using the OKR system from John Doerr!

Finally, we have published our chrome extension. Hooray!

You have to build a product from scratch to be actually aware of all the teeny tiny details that you have to take into account before the launch.

Users are getting registered and we are receiving real feedback. This is helping a lot! I can not stress this enough: the sooner the launch, the better.

We build a product with a ton of assumptions about how it is going to be used or about what the users expect from it. Getting the product in front of users is the only way to make sure you are on the proper path.

Vincent and I first contact. I was looking for new challenges, especially a new side project to build with someone.

Looking for new opportunities angel.co and I came across Vincent's project. Initially just a Chrome extension with a dashboard about self-awareness, productivity, new habits... Looking for someone with experience in infrastructure, backend, and Chrome extensions development. That rang the bell!

A couple of emails, a couple of meetings, and we are on!
