Cloudmanic Labs

As the year comes to a close, wea're thinking about all wea're grateful for in 2011 and what wea're looking forward to in 2012.

First and foremost, wea're thankful to you for making 2011 a terrific year. This has been a stellar 12 months in many ways:

• Skyclerka's growth this year was beyond our wildest dreams. In order to keep our product up to par, we spent a lot of time scaling Skyclerk and making tweaks based on your feedback. Having to switch our name to Skyclerk was a setback, but we came out of just fine and love our aœnewa name. It was one glitch among many highlights. We released iPhone and Android apps, which have been well-received by users. We also built and strengthened partnerships with other companies, including Shoeboxed.com.
• Grapeshare, which started as a side project to satisfy our love of wine, was launched. This project is still very new but is off to a fantastic start, with more and more users posting about the wines they love every day.

As good as the last year was, wea're eagerly looking towards what wea'll be bringing you in 2012. A few of the things to keep an eye on:

• With Skyclerk, wea're going to build on the successes wea've had so far. That means doing more of what wea've been doing: Listening more to users, building more features based on that feedback, and doing more to find new and creative ways to make bookkeeping and accounting dead simple. Youa're the reason wea're here; ita's always our goal to meet your needs.
• Just like a fine wine, we anticipate that Grapeshare will only get better as time goes by. However, Cloudmanic Labs has moved on from Grapeshare. It has become very clear Grapeshare is going to grow into a thriving business. Grapeshare has a great team working on it everyday. While we are no longer formally involved we chat with the team every day and will continue to promote Grapeshare. We love our focus on small business and felt Grapeshare was too far out of our wheel house.  Grapeshare made our 2011 New Year letter because it was a big part of our year and we know it is going to have a very exciting 2012.
• Finally, wea'll be rolling out our newest project, Heapless, in early 2012. Heapless is another tool a“ like Skyclerk a“ to support the paperless office. You know those heaps of paper that can pile up on your desk? If so, then you have a pretty good idea of what Heapless can help you with. Look for more on Heapless in the coming months.

Again, without you, none of the highlights on this list exist. Thanks for your input, which keeps us striving for our best. Herea's to you! Cheers!
