You may have noticed already: as of today, the blog isn’t on its own anymore. A whole website has grown up around it.
In earlier posts I mentioned that I’m building a company. Now I can tell you which one: konnek. Yes, the blog’s URL gave it away already. From now on you can also reach the blog straight from the main site.
What konnek does
konnek connects the tools a business already uses. Our goal is to get the tool chaos under control, especially for small enterprises. Here’s what that looks like: you create a new invoice for a customer, and instead of you filing it by hand, konnek moves it to the right folder, emails it and adds a note about the new job to a spreadsheet. Nobody has to copy information back and forth or file documents by hand anymore.
You might know this kind of thing from Zapier or Make. The difference: we mainly want to solve the problems of smaller businesses, and keep it simple. European software like Baserow, Matrix or SuiteCRM is our specialty. And data protection is at the heart of what we do.
We fund konnek ourselves, without venture capital. Why that matters to me is in my post on European and open-source alternatives.
What it means for the blog
Nothing changes about the blog itself. There are still no sponsors, and the opinions here are still my own. konnek can now connect some of the tools I’ve written about, Tally and Baserow for example. Whenever I write about one of those tools, I’ll say so.
And yes, there will also be posts where I show how we automate a process with konnek. I do a lot of research on European software. When I like something, I share it here.
