We're the Barbary Software team, and we're delighted to own Saber Feedback. It's a great product, with lots of promise. Here's why we bought Saber Feedback and what we intend to do with it.

August was my first full month with Saber in “maintenance mode”, and it went pretty well. I had my first week working for FreeAgent on the 5th August, which I spent working in their offices in Edinburgh. Conveniently there was very little that I needed to do to Saber during that week. However, my first week working from home seemed to be more of a test, as bugs and support requests came in thick and fast. I think I spent at least half an hour every morning working on Saber that week. At least since then it’s all settled down quite nicely.

Back to normality after yesterday’s big announcement, here’s July 2019’s income report:

Ladies, gentlemen and Smizmars - I’ve been living a lie. From the 5th of August I’ll no longer be a bootstrapped solo founder. I’ll be a 9-5 working stiff. A salaryman.

Aha! Not quite so late this month. In terms of financials, June was a slightly better month than May. But to be fair, that wasn’t a hard target:

March was one of those weird months were very little happened. On the plus side I did get a new paying customer, and actually saw a tiny bit of growth, so March definitely kicked February’s ass.

I’ve never been one to shy away from discussing my weaknesses on this blog, particularly my complete ineptitude at marketing, but today I’d like to talk about one of my strengths - customer support.

Wow, so February was bad. I haven’t calculated all the figures yet, as I like to write this intro before I figure out the actual numbers, but I do know that for the first time since August 2015, I didn’t get any new paying customers at all this month. In fact, it’s the only time this has happened since I started working full time on Saber. I did, however, manage to loose three paying customers, so yeah, not great:
