Last week I gave my 2 week notice at my employer so that I can take the leap and devote 100% of my time to my business. I've been working on Koberlein Studios on the side for a bit but I was never able to focus on it while having a full-time job. Then a contract from a new client came a long and has enabled me to push all my chips on the table and go all in. I don't plan on talking about my new client until the work is released, but I do want to talk about two things that will have a major impact on my business.
-
Koberlein Studios is becoming Code.Paint
At the time I created Koberlein Studios LLC I wasn't sure what type of business it was going to be so I kept the company name personal and generic. Now that the company is evolving from a side business into a full-time software development company, I needed a name that would be able to grow with the company. Within the next week, Koberlein Studios LLC will become Code.Paint LLC. The current koberleinstudios.com website won't be going away because I want to keep it online for legacy and also as a demo website. I will post another update when codepaint.com is online.
- SQLmover private beta released by June 7th for NY Internet Week SQLmover.com, Code.Paint's first product will allow developers to convert, backup, and share database files, has been in development for a couple of months and I'm hoping to release the private beta by June 7th to show off during the NY Internet Week. In order to accomplish this, I have had to scale back the beta release to only include the first feature: conversions. On June 7th, anyone who signs up for the beta will be able to upload and convert their databases for free. The subscription plans for the service will not be online until the public release. I'm looking forward to getting feedback from other developers as they upload and convert their databases. Depending on how my client work goes, I'm hoping to release the public version with the ability to backup databases sometime during the summer.
