Blip was designed and created by Daniel Nichter from 2021 to 2022 while working for Cash App—part of Block.

Significant contributions, testing, and feedback were made by his colleagues at Block:

• Joy Nag
• Wenhui Sun
• Ian Oberst
• Prudhvi Dhulipalla
• Serj Sililian
• Jemiah Westerman
• Allan Liu
• Morgan Tocker
• Jash Lal

Blip is named after legendary engineer-turned-manager Brian Ip, who—as an intern—wrote a MySQL monitor for Square that worked and provided value for nearly a decade. Blip strives to do half a well and make Brian proud.
