Thanks :)

Thanks I'm glad you like it. I will take you up on that and get you on email.

As you can tell we are adding an intelligence layer above notification providers. That will certainly help reduce the friction in on-boarding for co's like roost. Much like Segment.io did for analytics companies.

Having a closer integration with you guys would be a great benefit.

Thanks, glad you noticed :)

Hi All, I'm the founder of Latis. I would really appreciate any feedback/thoughts.

We designed it as a REST API so it can work across all platforms mobile, web and desktop.

The API is super easy so it's simple to integrate within most apps. As time goes on we will be adding client libraries for common platforms, languages and frameworks to make integration even easier.

The naming is certainly something I have issues with. I haven't really spent any time thinking about how else to express it but I don't think I will be short of ideas when I do.

In terms of what kind of talent it will attract I have no idea. For me personally I think with the type of issues we want to deal with, diversity is key. You need talent as much as you just need a different point of view.

It's great that you have been thinking about doing something at your university. What other things have you experienced so far ?

I completely agree, I think there are many ways you could do things on a longer term basis. I think the idea of the "startup weekend" style event has a couple of benefits in this context.

1. It's a good way to try it and see what happens and learn so you can learn what to improve in the format.

2. It helps gain momentum because you're only requesting a small amount of initial time investment from people.

3. One of the key points I wanted to stress was the ability to have organisations on hand to help fill in knowledge gaps about the realties of the situation data etc, and also be able be actively involved in the process. I think it's easier to get them involved in that capacity for one weekend. Then build on there involvement after they see the value etc.

I think you're dead on with on with your intuitions. I find QA a problem because on a traditional production line QA is a very defined process.

However in software what is QA the UI, interaction, API, backend code ?

More to the point do I really need QA ? As a Startup is QA not a part of our core design and iteration process as we try to achieve "product market fit" ?
