Three Years in Product: What I Built I joined Rest of World in 2022 as one of the two front-end developers. Three years, one redesign, and many rounds of confetti later, I’m wrapping up—and reflecting on the projects I’m most proud of.

After three years, front-end developer @lilylou.bsky.social is moving on from Rest of World. Before she goes, she shares some of the projects she’s most proud to have built:

nontechnical version:

this is a big deal + huge step for transparency! most companies keep their code private/proprietary, but bc ours is public, you can literally see every implementation (how we make buttons blue, how mute lists work, etc) & what we're working on at any given moment
