Our values

Our values show how we build software and engage with our community. They echo through every conversation we have and decision we make.

Simple tools get used


Complicated tools require special expertise that high-performing teams can's afford. Simple and obvious tooling allows everyone to learn, grow, and build great things.

The customer is the stakeholder


We're not chasing investor growth or fitting into categories. We only care about making incredible tools for our customers. We grow and succeed when you grow and succeed.

Service is the most important part of SaaS


Our team is on the ground helping our customers implement, diagnose, and improve their systems. Our engineers are our customer support team.

It's a marathon, not a sprint


You can only depend on software that's sustainable. We balance work and personal goals to build software that will run for decades. We'll be around for as long as you need us.
