Hi friends,
April was a big month for ArbTask. Let me walk you through it.
ArbTask
March marked the end of Emil Bohman and Mattis Ericsson Bergman LIA internship, who had been working on ArbTask‘s timesheet feature for the past few months. April was about wrapping that up properly and getting it shipped. It was my pleasure to work with the guys!
The timesheet now has a deal timeline page that shows the job details, address, and photos. You can log time directly from a deal card. Team members show up with their Gravatar avatars. Admins can pick which team member an entry is for. Bunch of smaller fixes too.
At the same time, we shipped Google sign-in. Facebook too, though that one was a bit of a saga – Meta’s business verification kept crashing on me. Eventually got it through.
First full month with Rocci
March was when Rocci Alvarez joined. April was the first real working month together.
A lot of the foundational stuff got done – brand positioning doc, target personas, content calendar, social media research. Instagram and Facebook accounts are live for both ArbTask and Beaver Climbs. By the end of the month, we had 91 followers on Beaver Climbs and the first meeting was booked from cold LinkedIn outreach.
The “What is ArbTask?” parent blog post is almost done, too. Most of this won’t show in numbers yet, but it needed to happen.
Overall, I am very star-struck by working with somebody who knows their stuff in Marketing:)
Aukro automation
Quick background if you’re new here: we built a connector between Shoptet (a popular Czech e-commerce platform) and Aukro (the Czech equivalent of eBay). The idea is simple — shop owners manage their products in Shoptet as usual, and our app automatically lists them on Aukro without any extra work. Stock, prices, variants, the whole thing synced.
This month I finished automating the offer creation side of it, which was the stretch goal. Before, new products would sync but creating the actual Aukro listing still needed a manual nudge. Now it’s fully hands-off.
A few other smaller things landed too: shipping label uploads, order comments for shipping info, one eshop domain change, automatic price updates, filter by flags.
The integration was now installed by 269 merchants!
Wix apps
QR Code Generator got the logo feature which had been requested for a while.
The Career and Job Board got permanent candidate deletion, which users had been asking for, plus some SEO work (SEO for job postings is fun….they say).
Overall, we experimented with Wix apps listings with refreshed copy and new media assets – that was Rocci and AJ’s work. Email sequence copy is done; the actual implementation is rolling into May.
