We built Carbonmade because we needed something that would organize our own work. It turned out so well that we decided to share it with all of you. In February 2006, we began spending our off hours tinkering with Carbonmade and within a year we began working full-time and haven’t looked back since. With feedback from our ever-growing community and lots of nerdy elbow grease, it has become something that we are quite proud of.
