CodePen Radio

Our guest this week is Jag Talon, a front end developer at DuckDuckGo! Jag talks to Marie and Tim S. about how hacking around on CodePen helped him learn CSS for his job, using CodePen Projects to redesign his podcast's website, and making use of CrossBrowserTesting.

Marie, Tim H., and Alex are here to talk about the decision to go all in on HTTPS at CodePen. We talk about some of the reasons why we waited until now to make the switch, and how we plan to implement it across CodePen.

Tim, Alex, and Chris are here for another "propellerhead" episode, talking about what happens at a server and infrastructure level when a user creates a new Project.

Tim, Alex, and Chris are here for a classic propellerhead episode - talking all things server infrastructure for CodePen Projects. All the fun server buzzwords are covered such as NFS, S3, EFS, Gulp, Docker, Docker Swarm, and AWS Nodes.

Chris, Tim Holman, and Marie are talking about spreading the CodePen word at conferences, both as speakers and attendees. How do you not cross the line into smarmy marketing? Do you need business cards? We talk about what feels right, and what doesn't, when you take your company out "on the road".

Chris, Rachel, and Marie talk about the stages of testing CodePen's new Projects feature - moving from developing in "secret" to alpha, transitioning to invite-only beta and open beta, and managing communication with alpha and beta users.

Marie, Alex, and Rachel talk project management for the payments update and the Project project. We talk about the tools we used to manage our projects, what we've learned while managing projects, and tips for folks about to manage their first big project.

Marie, Rachel, and Tim H. are founder-free this episode, talking about using React to build CodePen's newest Project feature. We talk about the deciding factors in choosing React for Projects, the learning curve, and the lessons learned.

CodePen Projects is now officially in beta, and we're excited to talk to you about it! Chris, Rachel, Tim S, and Marie gather to discuss the hows and whys of CodePen Projects.

Chris, Tim H., and Marie gather to discuss how we upsell CodePen PRO. We talk about the process of identifying opportunities to upsell, avoiding dark patterns, and new ways of introducing our members to PRO features.
