…don’t go the way we want them to. Case in point, we here at Avalon Labs have been pushing to do a feature update to the Fellowstream closed beta for the last week. We’ve burned some midnight oil, tested and re-tested our next batch of features, but it’s still not ready to go live. For […]
Now that we are in the Closed Beta phase of Fellowstream, we’re discovering a lot of new revelations we never dreamed would happen. Things that we thought people would understand implicitly (i.e. the notification system) isn’t clear cut to users, while things that we thought would be trouble areas (i.e. understanding the difference between the […]
It’s been close to a week since we released Fellowstream out as a closed beta. (And in case you missed it, here’s where you can sign up.) It has been exciting and scary to release our idea out into the wild. The folks here at Avalons Labs have a clear vision in our heads of […]
Whoo-hoo! Click here to sign up for the closed beta. The staff here at Avalon Labs is proud to announce that Fellowstream has launched into closed beta. On Friday, we released versions to a few family and friends and starting today, we will slowly allow more people to make accounts. Our mission: to get quick […]
I wrote an article a few weeks ago about a guy who tried to leverage a team for his personal gain (ignoring the needs of the team). He is, thankfully, an extreme case, but even the most well meaning person can hurt a team’s performance if she approaches it the wrong way. As someone who’s […]
They say that it’s important to learn from the past. In looking to my own past, I see Grandpa John, simple potato farmer from southern Idaho. He has taught me a lot about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. John had a sense of pride and stubbornness in all he did. You see, John […]
Okay, so I’m not going to lie. Documentation isn’t one of my favorite forms of writing. However, when it comes to creating a new app, especially one like Fellowstream, it’s essential that people have a decent reference point to figure out what’s going on. So for the last week, I’ve been pouring over our internal […]
There’s never enough time in the day, and our task lists grow with no signs of slowing down. Lately, I’ve seen a lot of blog posts about how to manage your time better, and I thought I’d throw my top five into the ring: 1. Do your “routine” first thing in the morning and get […]
I’ve worked with a guy who wasn’t interested in our team’s goals so much as what was in it for him: The contacts he will make The brilliant ideas he will be credited with The decisions he will make The amount of money he will receive The praise and reward of the team are all […]
One of the key tenets of my life is “do what you love.” It is the reason I spent two years teaching English in Japan (because I wanted to experience living in a foreign country), why I took an unpaid internship at GarageGames as an MBA student (because I wanted to work in the video […]
