The main reason for this was due to the upcoming fee changes to gumroad. These changes meant that I would be paying between $16-$21 per sale 😬 Stripe comes in at around 3%, and while I had to do some work to handle purchase fulfilment myself, it works out far cheaper to run

I didn't really get a chance to dive into the Theming aspect of the SDK, as originally this didn't have too much documentation. Since then the team have added some more information about how this part of the SDK works and it's just as accessible as the rest of the offerings

The SDK also has the concept of 'panels' - these are views that you can show within the top area of the keyboard, and even have them completely overlay the keyboard. For interactive content input (such as media), this is quite a powerful feature

The keyboard feels optimised for users who 'power users' of keyboards - so when swipe-typing, you can interact with keyboard shortcuts. As developers, we can customise these shortcuts to allow users to navigate to certain parts of our app with ease

For example, you can completely customise the prediction logic used by the keyboard - giving you control over the predictions displayed along the top bar of the keyboard area

I've never dabbled with customised keyboard before, so it was fun to play with an SDK that made this process quite smooth. The SDK not only gives you control on the visual aspect of the keyboard, but also the behaviour

Sorry this took so long - there was no automated way of creating this and it was a bit tricky to do for a WIP book!

I love that our revenue dashboard (buffer.com/transparent-me) has led to a very interesting discussion here. A few things to note:
Transparency isn't a marketing strategy or tactic at Buffer. Transparency is a core value we've had for our entire existence.

Buffer has a dashboard where you can see all their revenue.
Pro: good marketing
Con: when things aren't going great, everyone knows
