The Andy Peters from Omaha, NE.
Friday September 13, 2019 marked my last day at Flywheel. The last four in a half some years have been a blast. I’ve build great products, met life long friends and learned a ton about a fast growing company. I’ve said it a million times over the last few weeks, but man I’ll miss everyone. […]
I’ve been working on Courtyard for a while now. A few months ago, I posted some lessons I leaerned along the way when validating the app with actual customers. I thought I’d also share my lessons from giving Courtyard a bad name to build a brand around. Before you tell me “Yah, dude.” Let me […]
Back in October I announced a project I have been working on: Courtyard. Its not that it was secret by any means, I just haven’t been talking about it and I really wanted to start doing that. Since then I’ve worked with interested customers and had them all use the product in some capacity. This […]
Hey its me again. Its been a solid three years or more since I’ve written here. At the start of every year for the past three years or more, I had a goal to write more. Every year when I looked back, I was disappointed for not even trying. There are plenty of excuses I […]
Last night I was at a party with 400+ developers in Omaha, NE. I can’t help but think how far we’ve come and as I sit here drinking a scotch with developers I’ve come to make good friends with, I can’t help but remember how far we’ve come in Omaha tech community. More than five years ago, I wanted to […]
Here I am.. its November, I’ve been with Flywheel since February of this year and I still love this team. When I started the company headed to Las Vegas for a remote work retreat. After that, I got started right away on a huge update to the app: Flywheel Organizations, and I’ve found I work with people that I’d hang out […]
GitHub’s Atom text editor has become my default text editor as of late. My favorite thing about it is how extensible it is and the rich community of plugins, themes and other add-ons for the text editor. So naturally I wanted to try out extending Atom with a basic theme. I took a break at the NE-JS Conf and made an […]
I’m excited to announce that I joined the great Flywheel team in Omaha as a senior software engineer. Flywheel is making a great impact on the WordPress community by making hosting WordPress sites dead simple. I haven’t been more excited about new work since the beginning days of Ninth Division. It’s time to tell Twitter […]
Having to require users of Contrast to enable Full Access is dumb, but I didn’t have another choice. Keyboard extenions have the option to use Full Access which opens up the keyboard . Full Access for Contrast was required so users can configure their keyboard layouts, colors, etc. Other than that, it’s really a simple […]
Recently I released an iOS 8 keyboard app called Contrast Keyboard. Creating that app gained me tons of programmer experience points. So I figured it’d be cool to outline the big topics that came up along the way. Swift This is my first app I built using Swift. I wanted to get out of my […]
