Hope is alive

Hello from Dave 🦚

My retinas are grateful.

The only way I could be sure is to read Buffer’s blog!

Elec Issigonis too nerdy for a name?

I’m glad to be here and looking forward to connecting (or reconnecting)! Puppy tax paid in full - that's Diego on the left and Dante (aka chaos monkey) on the right!

I realised it’s been a while since I properly posted here, so I'm here to reintroduce myself!

I’m Dave, I work for @buffer.com, and use Bluesky to connect with other folks about CX (Customer Experience - I love supporting people and solving problems) and Boston Terriers (I love chaos and cuddles).

Our iOS app has had a Liquid Glass glow-up and it's absolutely gorgeous! ✨

I had the privilege of being part of the Alpha/Beta testing, and it's been a joy seeing this redesign come to life. It genuinely makes content creation feel so smooth.

Final day! Nearly 100 miles walked. 💪
It’s been beautiful, brutal, and everything in between 😅

I set out to raise £500 for the Sussex Beacon, we’re almost at £900 and I’d love to reach £1000 by the time I finish in a few hours!

Help me hit that? ❤️👇

A partridge slammed into my window this morning, took a dramatic pause on the sill, then flew off like nothing happened.

No idea if it was an omen or just nature DMing me, but I’m choosing to believe it means I’ll survive whatever hits me this week too.

Happy Tuesday!

A line graph showing Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) trends from January 2018 to December 2024. The line starts at around $16M in January 2018, rises to peak at approximately $22M in early 2020, then gradually declines to about $18M through 2023, before rising again to reach $20,014.73k ARR (a 1.24% increase) as of December 17, 2024. The graph shows the y-axis in $2M increments from $16M to $24M, with gridlines and a light blue shaded area below the trend line.

Y'all. @buffer.com just hit $20M ARR – but that's not even the headline here.

What's wild is that this is the second time we've reached this milestone.

We're achieving this after a period of decline and pushing through stagnant growth.

Milestones hit different when they represent resilience. ❤️

The murmuration of starlings is quite well known in Brighton so it's nice to think they've washed themselves at our place before putting on their show

birds gathering on telegraph wires

We've been in the new place for a week and I'm still getting used to the sound of the starlings gathering on the roof for a birdbath. Sounds like the rumbling belly of a hungry giant as they splash away up there. Then they gather on the telegraph wires to preen themselves.

Wow!

They’re so cool! What do yours love to eat?

Here are two of mine
