HiThereJoe.bsky.social

Hey Mike 👋 I'm Joe, one of our mobile engineers at @buffer.com! Thanks for flagging this - we'll be working on some improvements based on this feedback, so this flow will be a little smoother in the app soon!

This week, we hit our all-time-highest ARR of $22,395,427 at @buffer.com 🥳

Our previous all-time-high was in February 2020 and following that, we saw it dip. It's been amazing to see the team navigate this and work hard at getting back on track, hitting this new milestone 5 years later!

Wow, we did it! We have officially achieved a new all-time-high ARR at Buffer 🎉

Our previous all-time-high was $22,384,598 on February 6, 2020. Today, our ARR stands at $22,395,427.

This milestone has been 5 years in the making for us, it's going to take a little time to sink in for me personally!

Catching up on some #GoogleIO videos, really glad to see that the ability to halt the roll-out of fully-live production releases from within the Play Console is coming soon 🙌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=POUq...

Exploring Jetpack Compose: DockedSearchBar The ability to search for content within an app is a common feature, in fact, you’ll find it somewhere within most applications on your device. On Android, a common UI component we see for this…

In Android 16, we'll see the ability to opt-out of edge-to-edge enforcement being removed. This means apps targeting API level 36 will have to support edge-to-edge throughout their app. How is this affecting your app? Do you have a lot of migration work to do to support this change? #AndroidDev

Thanks for flagging this! On Android we currently only show the hashtag manager in the standard composer, I’ll make this available in the customise flow for our next release though 🙂

nope, not out of the box. I haven't tried, but I'm sure you could do something with gestures to update the bounds of the polygon
