Dribbbling on The Deck
For the past year, we’ve sold our own advertising on Dribbble.

But it was also a tremendous amount of work. Our tiny team would prefer to focus on efforts that directly affect the app...

Mea culpa, stat
Wanted to note that we made a fix to our Pro stats for 30-day counts of shot views. Due to a bug in our SQL, we’ve been omitting views/clicks that come from anonymous (non-Dribbble) users in these counts. Thus we’ve been underreporting the 30-day shot views numbers. (By how much depends on what percentage of a user’s views/clicks come from Dribbblers.)
We’ve made the fix...
