Hello!

As Doolphy’s CEO, I take the opportunity that we are celebrating to make my first post in the Doolphy Blog.

The occasion is special because we’re about to turn one year old! A year ago we started this project, full of enthusiasm and hope, and, why not admit it, fear and uncertainty.

Today we look back and see with pride the road travelled so far, but with humility and motivation to know that we still have much to do. It was not easy, has been a busy year, but we have met most of our goals. We launched worldwide the first free beta in January this year and our first commercial release in late April.

1,000 registered accounts!

In addition, we double celebration because we have just reached our first 1,000 registered accounts.
