Last year was a great Pinegrow year, and I’m pretty sure this year will also be fantastic with a lot of Pinegrow magic. **Thank you Pinegrow team, and all the best wishes !!!**

Five years?
are you kidding me?
nah! it cant be surely.
I remember entering the Pinegrow Competition… this is my 3rd xmas here.
When I was doing the competition, it was before the first one. in a tiny room, with mould on the walls and rain coming in to the light switch through the ceiling that would electrocute you when you came home in the dark…
So surely this is the 3d… fourth. year?
mmmm not sure. I think that was on version 2.xx then…
mmm
I still have 1.27 or suchlike installed… wow So I’m not sure how long that was after 1.xx… maybe? really?
really?
Five years
☹
man…hasn’t my web …empire…reallly been …
succesfull
…five years? holy crap I need to get my finger out!

In truth, and some of you already know the story, Pinegrow is a bit older but he has lived secretly for a while making it a true pioneer in the field of code editors with wysiwyg/visual capabilities.
Here is a video of his debut posted by Matjaz on **Friday, August 26th 2011** at 08:43 (EST)

Nice old video!
Yes, I knew the “Pinegrow Project” existed longer, didn’t know exactly for how long.
But **January 8th 2014** , was the birth of Pinegrow v1.0 (stated on your own blogpost).

> Pinegrow 1.0 was born on January 8th, four years ago. At that time, Pinegrow was just one more indie app, launched with zero marketing, facing the most likely prospect of never making it through the…
Cool and impressive to see how it evolved over the years, from seen in that Pinegrow Screencast video.
From a great idea with a certain vision, till the professional Desktop App it’s today, with all the many rich and easy to use features. Well done Pinegrow Team, be proud !!!

(I guess January 8th is still the official Birthday, or do we have to party and celebrate from now on, on another day…)

@Marf No change in the birthday date as it corresponds to the official public and commercial launch of Pinegrow. 🌲
Because we are a tiny company, we are often questioned about the sustainability of our business over time, so to be honest, my precision had no other purpose than a bit of pride 🕶 and to better situate Pinegrow on a timeline on which other related products or services do not hesitate to claim the historical firstness as well as the paternity of a concept or idea. 🙄
