We recently launched recurring donations.
Today, we're excited to announce our second most requested feature: Donor Covered Fees! 🎉
With this update, donors can choose to cover transaction costs, ensuring your organization gets 100% of the intended donation. Rolling out now.
We just got the new card reader shelf prototype in for @kindkioskapp and it came out great! Next up is a white powder coat and bulk production.
It's been a lot of fun diving into the hardware and manufacturing side of things.
We have a lot coming in May!

What are some of the things you do before every meeting?
I:
* move zoom/meet video to the top center below my camera
* open a new note below camera window
* turn on lights
* toggle DND
If there was a simple app to configure and handle this type of stuff for you, would you use it? What else might be important?
I want DND to automatically enable/disable when I join/leave a video call. It would be cool if the lights and window setup followed suit.

More fun coming out of #EchobindLabs?
The beginning stages of @wayfoundapp, our solution for an easier roadmapping tool.

Need a simpler roadmapping tool? We did too. So we're building it.
That's right product people, we're making an intuitive, drag-and-drop software that allows you to easily create and edit beautiful, custom roadmaps in minutes.

2024 is the year of products at @echobind. We have a lot planned!
I wrote about why, our roadmap, and our first two products.
Launching two per quarter will be both challenging and exciting.
It’s the last month of Q1. Let’s do this.

Hello, friends!
I spent the last four years at Gremlin building the UI for our suite of reliability management & chaos engineering tools.
I am currently unemployed and looking for my next challenge (frontend/full stack).
Any help sharing this message is greatly appreciated.

a couple nice features that landed in EAS Build recently:
- eas build:resign - re-sign a build after adding a new device to your ad hoc device list, without creating a new build. much faster than running a whole new build!
- eas build:run - download, install, and run a sim build

I recently wrote a microblog for @echobind about @Apple’s #deskview feature.
This feature is available on the latest MacOS paired with an iPhone. It allows you to use your phone as a webcam or to share your desk view. – at Chesapeake, VA
Not only has @Apple enabled iPhone to work as a webcam, but you can now use a new feature called Desk View, which allows you to share your desk surface. Your @Zoom calls just got more productive. 💥
Check out @lavosbit's blog for the full how-to.

Heading home from an amazing summit with the @echobind crew. This year we went to a dude ranch in CO and it was epic. Horseback riding, mountain biking, fishing, trap shooting, hiking, and more. And of course amazing food. ❤️
It’s been over 2 years since the last one!
Summit is great because I get to see our team members build deep relationships outside of their client project team. It gives me a chance to connect more with them too.
Being a remote company is the best, but you can’t replicate experiences like this with Zoom.
Our friend @heyseanely cataloged the whole experience and I can’t wait to see what he puts together!
Spent the last 5 days stomping around a dude ranch just north of Granby, CO with my friends at @echobind for their company summit
Excited to tap into the 100 GB of footage that I shot & help showcase how badass their team is
Now back to Chicago to edit (& recharge) ✌🏻😎✌🏻
