I was just looking at their "about us" page, and it seems their technical staff consists of only 3 people, which I think is quite impressive.

I’m pretty sure that can’t be all of them. The founder (or maybe CTO, can’t remember) often pops up on Hacker News.

It would be good if they would blog about more about the company itself actually. I don’t remember them publishing much about that.

Yeah, the technical team is quite a few more than that! We're roughly 1/3 support, 1/2 technical (split between ops, backend and frontend) and 1/6 for the rest - which makes us very light on marketing and sales compared to most companies!

Oh wow thanks for replying. How many people in the company in total, if you’re able to say?

Thanks again for a fantastic product and service! I really think you should blog a bit more about the company and culture, that would probably be all the marketing you’d need :-)
