The magic of an automatic workflow
With a tight deadline upfront, our focus was mainly at that task, working on an iPad App for our customer. Luckily we are prepared and write and recorded our blog posts and podcasts even before our summer vacations – well not this one that the nature of a summary/review.
Sociabli
The Sociabli blog had a good start and we published eight posts during the past weeks with some more still in the pipeline. We started with a pretty minimal design and approach and did some finetuning in the first weeks to make posts more readable. We added some author information and some navigation below the post so you can directly go to the next post when you finished reading one.
Everything is scheduled so we don't have to check our calendars all the time to see if we need to hit a publish button. The system checks the publish dates and triggers a workflow to rebuild the site (we use a static site builder in this case) when a post is due.
You don't want to automate everything in your content workflow to ensure quality and prevent spamming, but this is a really good usecase and it works pretty smooth. So if you want to build something like that for your own content: 📞
Server Side Stories
If you want to know more about what we did the past weeks, you may listen to our quarterly review in our (German) podcast.
The latest two episodes might be even more interesting as we talked with Sebastian Neubert about his career and especially about test driven development in big teams.
In the most recent episode we keep talking about that very topic: test driven development and dive in to the details even more.
Of course you can subscribe to Server Side Stories in your Podcatcher or listen directly here: https://konzentrik.de/en/server-side-stories
That's it for this summary. I am sure next time we have more links and stories to share with you. For now we going to keep our laser focus on the app release. Read you later!
