You've got help for your thorniest community challenges.

Making people care about you is hard.

Once they do, things can get scary: your community depends on you to succeed. They develop expectations of you, demanding your predictability. This can be challenging for an evolving project.

Humans are fundamentally messy, but you can build and engage a following without mess as an everyday experience.

Understanding the constituents you serve and addressing their distinct needs lets you multiply your power and value.

Expert help can make that process so much easier.

Let's talk about how we can:

  • Cement adoption for new products and features
  • Convert your users into passionate advocates, so they advance your cause in rooms you'll never enter
  • Build practices to consistently integrate user needs, so you make the best product and marketing decisions possible every step of the way

Uploop is here to help you get there. Get in touch.

Your Uploop Guide

Ana Hevesi

Ana Hevesi is your interactive developer ecosystem debugger. She championed the early maker revolution at Shapeways, shaped the Node.js revolution at Nodejitsu, and stewarded the internet’s largest developer community at Stack Overflow.

She's seen a lot of flame wars.

Today she equips leaders to understand, engage and empower their contributors, so both sides get to meet their goals.

Ana was the first person I decided to bring in to collaborate with our lab, and it was beyond worth it: her research created space for us to learn about new possibilities for how we could work and helped us access key insights from our audience. Ana's keen strategic thinking and incisive, empathic understanding of developer communities made her the only partner for this unique challenge.

We're now equipped to create richer opportunities for our open science community to thrive while increasing our reach. If you're creating something that matters to people, you want Ana on your side.

Crisis Management + Prevention

Sometimes relations go sour. Misunderstandings snowball. Acid overcomes collaboration.

I've managed drama that would absolutely curl your hair. Nothing about your crisis can scare me. I'll get you back on track, or help you prevent a mess altogether.

Constituency Mapping

Identify the extended constituencies that depend on your product: illuminate who they are, what they need, and how to build harmony between their goals and your strategy.

Leverage your entire ecosystem to go further and grow larger.

Adoption-Driven Community Design

A healthy support community around your technology creates scaffolding for developers to help each other, which means they spend more time meeting their goals. This success builds word of mouth and cements adoption.

Let's design deliberate systems, practices and channels to harness your community's network effects.

Developer Experience Research

The strongest communities form around developers who are winning.

Set a breakpoint on your developer adoption funnel to discover which constituents are falling through the cracks, and why. Don't rely on luck. Gather evidence, debug the hiccups.

Ana was my team’s secret weapon at Stack Overflow. She has a unique ability to decipher social patterns in technical contexts, and used that to help us serve developers of different generations and cultures just as we were reaching massive scale. You can count on her to synthesize user needs into actionable changes for a project of any size.
