Our Label Ontology For Issue Tracking
Wednesday, March 1st, 2017
We’re pretty transparent about how we do things here in the beehive. We share revenue graphs and anything else you’d care to know. But I know the big question on everyone’s mind has been “what labels do they use for bugs in their issue tracker?” Well here I am... »

What It Means To Give Beeminder Your Credit Card
Monday, May 9th, 2016
One of the main things we’re working on right now is making Beeminder more comprehensible to newbees. We’ve even hired a web designer, Josh Pitzalis, to help us with a big redesign. Writing blog posts explaining (sometimes »
