No, that’s not a typo. Over the last few years, all of us here have typed the name “Fellow” over and over again — so many times that now every word that ends with “ello” is accidentally followed up with a “w”. Most of the time we catch it, but it’s one of those adorable mistakes that we like to have fun with once in a while, and gives a glimpse into the culture of the team.

Starting today with this new publication, we’re going to be making that mistake a whole lot more! Many members of the engineering team here have been contributing to tech blogs, giving tech talks, speaking on podcasts, and open-sourcing projects for a while now — because we love helping others learn, sharing the cool things we’re learning ourselves, and giving back to the community. We’re excited to launch this new Fellow Engineering blog as another platform for our team to do just that!

We don’t quite know what this blog will be just yet, but it will grow with us and evolve over time as we build out new projects and discover cool tech that we want to share with the world. The core of our platform (and the heart & soul of the technology behind Fellow) includes our collaborative notes editor, our calendar, and our integrations. While we may give a peek into how we’ve built those once in a while (join the team to get the full story), we want to start off by sharing our learnings about things like how to build a dark mode mobile app, or how to manage browser extension versions when you have multiple environments. We’ll also be writing about tech-adjacent topics too—like how to run engineering retrospectives, or why and how we run the best internal hackathons. And we may even have posts about product & design too!

As a team of engineers that loves to build and problem solve, we’re all figuring it out together as we go along. And that’s half the fun.

See you on the blog! 👋
