Your map in the video didn’t include a ‘g’day’ speech bubble over Australia 🙁

It’s interesting that your first tool, born from a need there at Automattic, is a feature that most PM tools lack.

Looking promising too.

As someone with a business which really embraces remote and flexible working, I’m looking forward to learning more about your Happy Tools!
I strongly believe that using technology to work closer together yet be geographically apart is the future and for many the key to having a happier yet more productive employees.

this is a very welcome development, and would be helpful for smaller businesses as well. though maybe not all of the tools. we frequently find that many software companies are constantly developing, but some professions like ours are not developing at that same rate, not by a long shot, and we do not need the constant development. It drives up costs without the cost benefit as our business is relatively static. I can say specifically that it would help non-profits… Maybe a tools- lite with reasonable cost impact… IT demands, IT costs (never before needed) and lack of understanding of newer work trends (work from home) has put a strain on those operating by the non-profit mantra: “doing a lot with a little”.

Really happy to see that Chicago’s new mayor-elect is off-and-running with another WordPress site at warp-speed!
Moreover, her statements relative to Chicago actively supporting the expanding tech community are very encouraging.

I’ll confidently bet that your tools (Happy) can save municipalities money by significantly reducing overtime costs… But I don’t gamble… “Cough”…WordCamp Chicago… “Cough”…generously sponsored by…”Cough”…the city of CHICAGO…”Cough.” 🙂

Cheers!

I hope these new services don’t come at the expense of further development of WordPress and WordPress.com , neither of which are very user friendly compared to Squarespace and Wix , despite Gutenberg
