Ditto

And that’s a wrap on #config2024! We had a blast chatting with everyone who came by our booth this week about all things words (and handing out some fun swag too 😎). What was your favorite part of the week?

"Localization is a core piece of how we think about personalization as a whole. It is so important for how the end user experiences a product in a way that actually meets their needs." We had the pleasure of partnering with Lokalise to help create the ultimate localization cookbook! 📖✨ Download this new e-book to get tips and tricks from real companies who have mastered the art of localization: https://lnkd.in/e4GuaaTT

Get ready for Ditto's UX to reach new heights thanks to Quinn Keast, CDP, our new founding designer! 🎉 Quinn comes with more than 14 years experience across the entire product design process, from research and strategy to execution and shipping. Quinn has long been invested in the power of copy in product design, and even created a UX language framework years ago to make it easier for product teams to create usable, consistent, and inclusive products and interfaces. We're super excited for him to bring this background to Ditto, and help us build the infrastructure for product text! Outside of work, Quinn enjoys cycling, writing, and hanging out with his mini australian shepherd. Show Quinn some love! 👏

Ditto IRL ✨ We traded computers for kayaks this week at our summer retreat in Austin, TX! 🤠 A few jam-packed days of brainstorms, hackathons, and excitement about all the things we have in the works for you.

🆕 Variant Statuses are live! Does your team need to keep track of progress on your Variants in Ditto? New Variant statuses will help you do just that! 🤩 Mark the text of a Variant as in progress, ready for review, or final, and Ditto will color-code the text block with each status. Jump into Ditto and start centralizing those text reviews! 🙌

💡 “With Ditto, we can now actually create content standards. Now that we are able to centralize the words we've used, we can actually find and share those with the team.” Check out our newest case study to learn how Staffbase built a cross-functional workflow that transformed how they manage text and global translations, to design and ship faster 🚀

Another week, another new Ditto teammate! We’re so excited to welcome Ellie McCandless, our founding product marketer. Ellie has spent years in product marketing for startups of all stages, where she has led the charge to build out foundational positioning, go-to-market strategy, and customer education all hyper-focused on user value. She is excited to use this experience to craft the right stories and drive value for you, our amazing users! When she’s not at work, you can find Ellie getting lost in the mountains of Montana, or struggling through learning a new hobby (currently teaching herself to be a very mediocre piano player). Welcome Ellie! 🥳

Developers: Ever wonder how you should be taking full advantage of Ditto? 🤔 Our own engineers are here to help! 💥 "Ditto Components are a superpower for keeping you in the flow of your dev work. Build components for any text that could change in your product so updates will be included automatically, and you can get back to doing what you do best — presumably not writing Lorem Ipsum.” — Reed Barnes 💡 “A lightbulb went off when we leaned into Ditto's pluralization capabilities. We were able to rip out a ton of hacky logic we built to handle plurals and replace it with simple in-code references to Ditto components. Ditto handled all of the complexity, and the quality of our code improved massively.” — Jordin Gardner Get more tips and tricks straight from the Ditto engineers in our recent blog!

Say hello to our newest Ditto team member: Jake Stergar! 🤩 Jake joins us as our new Head of Sales, bringing a dynamic energy and strategic vision that aligns perfectly with our growth goals. Jake previously worked as a part of the founding sales team at Figma and most recently comes from Maze, where he played a pivotal role in crafting and executing go-to-market strategy, scaling the sales organization and executing on revenue targets. He’s excited to bring his experience and expertise to Ditto. Outside of work, you’ll find Jake hiking the East Bay trails with his dog, Gnocchi, or playing any variety of beach volleyball, basketball or golf. Show Jake some love! 🎉
