This second project is a great example of some of the things we’ll be able to do with our new scale here at Automattic. The second is localising our mobile apps into the top 12 languages you, our customers use. First is improving podcast parsing speeds (how quickly you get new episodes after a podcast author publishes them).
The very first two projects are already underway. We’ve added some amazing people from Automattic to the team and we continue to look for more (check this page out if you want to come work with us). The highlight would have to be the two of us joining a Town Hall online meeting, with hundreds of faces around the world and introducing ourselves to everyone and answering all the questions they had.īut you’re not here for my “What It’s Like To Join Automattic Blog of Wonder”, you want to know about Pocket Casts and what’s in store! Well at the moment we’re scaling our team back up and we’ve begun work on some things we’ve wanted to do for a while. The first few weeks involved introductions, reading lots of documentation and getting to know where we fit into it all. It’s unlike any other company I’ve ever worked at. They were all so friendly, so welcoming and so excited about working along side us and building great things together. That feeling quickly faded away as we met more and more of the amazing people that work at Automattic. Joining a company with well over a thousand employees, spread around the world was quite intimidating at first. We can’t answer all of those today, but in the spirit of working with a company that values openness we’d like to share more about what’s been going on here at Pocket Casts.
We’ve also received a lot of questions around what our future plans are and how things will look going forward. It was amazing to see how many people reached out congratulating us, and to find out that most of you feel the way we do about it being a great home for Pocket Casts. It’s been a month since we shared the news with you all that we’d joined Automattic.
