October 21, 2019 Approved in Slack App Directory

Slack has an App Directory of approved Slack apps. I went through the process of back-and-forth feedback to get Progress Plum approved.

All in all, this is to help spread awareness and add another SEO channel.

May 20, 2019 New Blog Design and Branding

To keep a more coherent design across the product's web pages, the blog received a much-needed redesign. The blog was rewritten using a custom-made Ghost theme using Tailwind CSS and includes some extra javascript libraries for code highlighting and image zooming. Overall, the redesign only uses 8KB of CSS without compress and is incredibly fast at loading.

The design is live at https://blog.progressplum.app.
