I'm Nadia — founder, one-woman dev team, and someone who's not great at sitting still. I built The StoryGraph from scratch, but that's just one part of what I do. Most days you'll find me at the gym ...

Over 4 million registered users now. Thank you, Aurelie! ☺️
I love that of all the success stories we hear about at #RailsConf, the one the most applauded is not at the Nasdaq. It’s not built by an army of engineers.

It’s @thestorygraph.com One woman dev team ( @nodunayo.bsky.social ) . 2M users worldwide.

We asked @nodunayo.bsky.social what makes the Ruby community so special. 👀

"I think it comes from Matz's original mission..."

I know an experienced social media manager seeking a new role! She’s got 7+ years experience across various sectors, including healthcare and fintech, and is skilled in strategy, content, and engagement. She’d prefer remote work and is open to PT/FT/freelance. DM for details!

Do I know anybody who has used the QuaggaJS barcode reader in a production app? Or anybody who's developed a barcode scanner/reader feature within an app?

RubyConf is over, but we're still BUZZING! 💫

We concluded last week's events with a keynote from @nodunayo.bsky.social the CEO & dev behind The StoryGraph... and WOW.

She promised surprises, and she delivered!

We're so grateful to her and all our speakers for making this conference so special.

Yes! @nodunayo.bsky.social is a legend! If you haven't, I recommend to watch *any* of her talks (she's often been at Brighton Ruby, but also keynoting at many others). She's one of the best speakers I've ever seen 🤩 A legend!
