2014 was a big year for Goodpatch. We moved from Akihabara to a substantially roomier office in Shibuya and celebrated the official launch of our first service, Prott. Thank you for all your support throughout these past 365 days and we look forward to having much more news to share with you in 2015!
Of course, we can’t wrap up the year without our final monthly roundup, so here it is: the services and tools that we got hooked on in December.
