Introducing Cloudinary’s Product Roadmap Portal

To me, one of the most exciting aspects in a company’s lifecycle in which to participate is the product roadmap. As a customer of numerous services and from my many years of working in Customer Success, visibility into a company’s product plans reinforces my trust in it and my affinity for the brand. The fact that I’m entrusted with those plans, invited to provide feedback, and actually steer the company’s direction means the world to me. I feel that not only am I being heard, but that I’m also afforded the opportunity to make a difference.

Media related web development challenges

What to consider when developing media rich websites and apps
Websites have evolved greatly over the past few years. Once text-heavy websites have become more eye-catching with prominent images and video. But the addition of richer media isn’t the only change impacting websites. Consumer behavior also factors into this evolution, as web access has moved from the desktop realm to a variety of different devices – smartphones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches and TVs – with different dimensions and resolutions. And consumers want to be able to access web content anytime and from any location.

These problems frustrate visitors, and potentially decrease their incentive to  engage further on the website.
