Designer-founder of Pistacio. 10 years in design across four countries and seven cities. Worked in everything from startups to enterprise. Currently learning (and fixing) what I was wrong about.
When we put ourselves on Pistacio
Replaced
- Mite → Pistacio (time tracking)
- Absentify → Pistacio (vacation — finds the days that maximize your PTO)
Started doing properly (no real system before)
- Inventory management
- Subscription tracking
- License tracking
- Insurance tracking
Reverts this week: 2
- Ema was pitching a client all morning and noticed her report PDF still had our logo in the footer. Shipped a Branding panel that night so Pro workspaces can put their own logo, colors, and footer on every export. Free tier still pays in pixels — Pro pays in money.
- Pablo counted seven items in our Reports sidebar and asked which one to use. Three of them did almost the same thing. Collapsed them into one Hours report that flips between 'last month' and 'month-to-date' depending on the day — because that's the only thing his accountant ever asks for.
