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
- Stopped showing every workspace every feature. A consulting firm doesn't need shift schedules; a cleaning company doesn't need a CRM. Added a resolver that asks "does this even apply to your mode?" before rendering any nav item. Surfacing nothing beats surfacing the wrong thing.
- German users said "Auswertung" when they meant our reports section. We'd labeled it "Berichte." Berichte is what a journalist writes; Auswertung is what an accountant runs. Changed the noun. Same data, right name.
