208 Reasons Why 2017 Was a Blast!
Yup, 208 reasons! I couldn’t believe how many awesome things happened in just 365 days while working at one of the coolest software houses in Europe — Droids On Roids.
So as a recap of 2017 I wanted to share with you the highlights of the year ✨ Enjoy!
Let’s start with a timeline of the best moments:
And that’s not all! Here are a few other numbers:
- 16 people joined our team
- 16 is also the number of projects we worked on during the year
- 8 workshops were run, by us, for our prospect clients
- 15 organized meetups (Toast, Let Swift, Dribbble WroMeetup)

In case you missed it…
As our marketing team grew from 1 to 4, we also grew our social media, having fun with creating daily InstaStories or updating our Facebook page. We also focused on our blog, which rose by over 40% comparing to last year! It’s appreciated by well-known media platforms like Android Weekly, Android Dev Digest, The Week in Swift, Swift Weekly, Hacker News and more! Here are the best posts:

If we sum up the above numbers and moments, we have 208 reasons to summarize 2017 as an amazing year. Full of enthusiasm, commitment, initiative, events, trips, and sometimes even a bit of madness 😉 It will remain in our memory and hearts for a long time.
