🚀 Fresh insights from IT Meets: Ukrainian Products on the Global Market Last week, Ruslana Miz, our Marketing Lead, attended IT Meets and came back energized. The big question everyone was asking? "How do we go from local to global without losing what makes us unique?" Turns out, the answer isn't choosing between the two. The Ukrainian tech scene isn't just surviving, it's scaling globally. And the strategies shared were pure gold. Big thanks to the IT Meets team for bringing together minds that are building the future of Ukrainian tech on the world stage. Already putting these insights into action 💪

Today, we’re celebrating the designers who bring the balance of logic and creativity into everything they do and turn ideas into something people genuinely enjoy using. To everyone who: 📐 Spent 3 hours on pixel-perfect alignment 🔫 Survived "make it pop" 🖍 Knows the pain of the 47th revision 💡 Turns "I'll know it when I see it" into reality Behind every smooth interaction are a thousand thoughtful decisions that most users will never notice. And that's exactly the point. ✨ Happy Designer's Day! #DesignersDay #UXDesign #UIDesign #ProductDesign

We swapped laptops for wax and dyes for a couple of hours at OTAKOYI. 🎨 This Easter, the team joined a pysanky workshop — a chance to reconnect with Ukrainian culture, creativity, and each other. Those intricate patterns demanded patience, focus, and a steady hand, making the process as rewarding as the final designs. 💫

📢 2026 may be a challenging year for UK property managers — the Building Safety Act is now in full enforcement, and the Golden Thread requirement is at the center of it all. The good news? Technology is catching up. AI document intelligence can process thousands of compliance documents, provide expiry alerts, and make inspections far simpler — all while reducing risk. We break down what the Golden Thread actually demands in 2026 and how modern tools can help property managers stay on top of it.

Tomorrow, April 4th, is Walk to Work Day. 🚶➡️ This year it falls on a Saturday, so most of us will probably celebrate it from the couch. 🛋️ But it got us thinking. It’s surprisingly easy to go through a full workday without moving much. Deadlines, meetings, deep focus sessions — steps are usually the last thing on our mind.

Imagine losing years of life with one accidental click. 😱 Did you know that: 📌 21% of people have never made a backup 📌 29% of data loss cases are caused by accidents Deleted a file? Spilled coffee on your laptop? It happens more often than you think. ❓ Not sure where to start? Begin with what you can’t afford to lose: financial records, emails, client data, and project files. If losing it would hurt, back it up. The easiest way to stay safe? Follow the 3-2-1 backup rule: 3️⃣ copies of your important files 2️⃣ different types of storage (hard drive, cloud, etc.) 1️⃣ copy stored offsite World Backup Day is a reminder to actually do it. Don’t wait for a disaster to remind you.
