Roadmap 2021 Special with Ken Case Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Full transcript and show notes at theomnishow.omnigroup.com

On January 21 we published the Omni Roadmap 2021, where we looked back at 2020 and look forward to all the items planned for this year. Ken Case, CEO of the Omni Group — and author of the roadmap — joins the show to go into further detail.

2020 - What a year! From migrating our entire suite to run natively on Apple's new M1-powered Macs to integrating a streamlined way to handle licensing and subscriptions - Omni Group accomplished a lot.

We recap all the progress from 2020, and Andrew tries his hardest to get Ken to spill the beans on upcoming application features.

And, like every year, we expect that Apple will announce new features at WWDC, and we will have surprise work to do. Which we don’t mind — it’s part of the fun of making apps! (We love those new features as much as you do.)

You can find Ken on Twitter @kcase and on our Slack group. You can also find @omnigroup on Twitter and on Micro.blog.
