Ninja Tables Is Turning 5!

Ninja Tables is turning 5

Every day at the WPManageNinja HQ is a celebration, but February 26th is extra special. Ninja Tables’ 5th anniversary is approaching and we couldn’t be more excited about it!

Since this table plugin project officially kickstarted the “WPManageNinja” brand in late 2017 and went live in 2018, we didn’t have to look back ever again. Ninja Tables just shaped the whole company and took it that far, where we are now.

But would you believe it wasn’t planned in the first place? You could say it’s the lucky four-leaf clover that was created on a whim!

I’m gonna take you for a ride with Ninja Tables and show you how it grew as a WordPress table plugin and grew our parent company, WPManageNinja.

Backstory- Ninja Tables WordPress

We were just thinking about starting a WordPress plugin business in 2017. One late night, I was working on a client project. The client required a table with search, sort, filter, and other advanced functionalities. He also wanted it to look beautiful and smart.

This might sound very easy today, considering so many available table plugins. However, I couldn’t find anything suitable back then.

Yes, there were other options that could have “kinda” solved the issue for the client, but they wouldn’t be scalable. So, I had to come up with a more flexible, scalable solution with more necessary features. Long story short, I worked 3-4 days straight to fulfill his requirements, but it was still heavy with codes.

I honestly thought it shouldn’t have been that hard!

So, the following week, I created a prototype that covered the same features the client wanted. I barely finished a workable version and asked him to try it out. Needless to say, he absolutely loved it!

After this, I worked on it a little more and released it in the WordPress repository in February 26, 2018.

And that’s how Ninja Tables started its journey and rooted the beginning of WPManageNinja that you know today.

Shaping WPManageNinja

Months went by and we started to get to know the plugin business every day. Ninja Tables was the first plugin created and marketed by us. It kept growing with updated versions and we started dreaming more!

Ninja Tables Pro was released and in the meantime, we worked on some feature requests. Looking at the growth, we became hopeful and hired more developers and support engineers.

WPManageNinja started operating with multiple teams on different projects, instead of a few people working on multiple projects.

In 2018, we were simultaneously working on Ninja Tables and Fluent Forms. We weren’t focusing on marketing Fluent Forms heavily since the WordPress forms category was a highly competitive arena for us at that time. We wanted to perfect it before entering the competition with big fish.

Eventually, we succeeded with Fluent Forms and started working on FluentCRM. Ninja Tables and Fluent Forms both were doing great by then!

And when all three products became self-sufficient, we became a team of 85+ Ninjas after hiring more developers, support engineers, and marketers with some more awesome plugins like FluentSupport, WP Social Ninja, Paymattic, and AzonPress.
