2022 was quite the year, wasn’t it? We saw lots of new features, plenty of amazing Typeforms, and made friends with many of you. And can you believe this is the second year our community has been around? I had to double-check which year we launched because it has flown by! 

As we head into 2023, let’s take a peek back into the highlights of our community in 2022. 

Biggest Announcements of 2022

VideoAsk joined the Community

Once a single-product community, we became a double and invited those building videoasks to join us in our little neck of the internet. Since we added VideoAsk, we’ve seen 1102 posts created and 1110 new VideoAsk members. 

This also brought a new member of our community team - @Grace ! Learn more about her here.

We reached 20,000 members

Yes, you read that right! Just before December, our community reached 20,000 total members. That’s slightly over the number of people that reside in Palau. We’re a mighty group now!

Revisit our celebration post here. 

We won an award

Customer success platform Gainsight awarded our community a GameChanger award in late 2022. @Grace  received the award at the ceremony in person, but it's thanks to all of you that we were able to achieve this! View the photos from the award ceremony here. 

Highlights from our amazing members

Our lovely members! What a year it has been with all of you. You’ve made this community a wonderful place to be and entertained us throughout the year with your forms, stories, and fancy workarounds. Let’s dive more into all that you did!

Memorable Member Spotlights

We kicked off this year with a new series highlighting various members of our community. Andrew shared lots of great tips and advice for using VideoAsk. Michaela, from Make, helped our members with their Make integration questions and created incredible workarounds to solve lots of tricky questions. 

Speaking of workarounds, Matej was the ultimate coding champion who solved complicated embed and API issues, and Des solved, well, just about every question anyone could have asked. I’m pretty sure he’s better at logic jumps than I’ll ever be, but don’t tell my boss that! 

Finally, Darnell brought positivity and fun to our coffee chats while sharing the various ways he’s used VideoAsk for lead generation. If you have questions on getting more leads, he’s your guy!

Coffee Talk takeaways

We may be a community of Typeform and VideoAsk builders, but the real highlight of the year was the conversations we had with all of you. 

Barception, our virtual coffee bar + reception, was the place to be to learn about other members and share everything from our vacation photos to weekend updates. A few of the most unforgettable things we learned this year in Barception were: 

• We had 842 replies in the thread! Talk about a popular Barception. 

• @Paulo  started the new year doing lots of DIY around his new home. 

• Travel returned again this year. Grace flew to Iceland, @the conservative  visited Israel, Liz bounced around Europe for a month, and Mikkel went to Norway. 

• Though, this travel also included our former colleague, @Gabi.Amaral , moving back to Brazil. She did travel to many other places before bidding us adieu. 

• @john.desborough  had lots of coffee (though what’s new there?), so much so that I couldn’t quantify how many cups even if I tried and shared lots of amazing recipes throughout the year. 

• Everyone had BBQs and went hiking without @Liz .

• @Grace  baked an epic cake, and I’m still wondering when she’ll start her own cake company. She also hiked all over Spain. 

• @Darnell  had quite the social life, going to weddings, Dipsgiving, and breweries. 

• We all read lots of books. 

• @Ethan M.  gave us restaurant recommendations in Barcelona. 

• Sunrises and sunsets across the world were shared, including @ActionJackson ’s view in California. 

• @Michaela  launched the Make community. 

• @James  built a tiki bar and had a spooky Halloween. 

• @Gabolino  departed us, sadly, but he still pops by the community ever so often!

We also had lots of other threads that kept us afloat this year when we needed breaks from building forms, such as the dad jokes @john.desborough  and @James  dropped. If we needed some inspiration, the quote of the day thread brought us back to life and the community playlist alongside our favorite tunes list kept us dancing. At the end of the day, we referenced our movie club thread and some of us even made predictions on who would win the world cup. 

Typeform Love

The community wouldn’t be what it is without all of you. Special thanks to: 

@john.desborough @Darnell @ActionJackson @the conservative @mathio @Michaela @belinda_long @picsoung @Gabolino @Gabi.Amaral @ValdemarQ @talon256 

For being some of our top contributors in 2022. 

Though, it wasn’t just all fun and games - we did build some Typeforms and VideoAsks, too!
