Wrapping-up 2021

2022 Bloco Retreat — Celorico de Basto

A ritual we do every year is to write our annual highlights. We always start with the feeling “we haven't done much” but then we realise it’s not true:

  1. In January Stationhead was launched 🎧 the Android app we've been working on for almost 1 year together with Sane Digital. A huge achievement for us, Stationhead has more than 500k+ installs right now. https://buff.ly/3eV7Pno

  2. In January Awala📦 was also launched. After almost one year of work. We developed a range of 3 apps, starting with Courier, Gateway and Ping. A very special project for us, because Awala helps to circumvent Internet blackout. #KeepitOn

  3. We worked with Open Observatory to help them with their Probe Android app. The OONI Probe app allows users to check if their Internet access is blocking any websites or apps.🐙 We build a test suite from them.

  4. We launched Circles for the Stacks ecosystem, an Android authenticator app. https://buff.ly/3BOQWo0

  5. We updated Large Text Mobile. New icon, new landing page, some UI tweaks. We invested more time optimizing our Store presence. https://buff.ly/3CB4xQ8

  6. We did a major update to your blog posts, especially the best performers, with the intent of keeping the information useful and relevant. We had almost 20k page views on our website. Also updated our Android App Starter Template. https://buff.ly/3pHQXY4

  7. We got our blog posts and apps got featured on AndroidLibHunt Newsletter, the OnCreate Digest Newsletter, in Proandroid Dev and by Sam Beckman.

  8. The 🍒 on top, since August we've been working only 4 days a week.
