Thank you for the detailed info! I will check it out

This looks really cool and I've definitely been feeling this pain. I've been building out a solution for myself on top of docker. What are the advantages of using coasts over docker?

Thanks for the kind words! We're collecting feedback over the next 1-2 weeks to prioritize the road map.

Is there anything that you would like to see?

A few things that are on our radar though:

- Support for more APIs out of the box. We've implemented a number of APIs that we've submitted for approval (including a bunch of google APIs). They should be added in the next few weeks.

- The ability to add your own API integrations via a simple form if we don't support them (both token based and OAuth APIs).

Short answer: Yes!

Long answer: As you may know, Samsung Health doesn't provide a public REST API. We are looking at different ways that we might be able to make that information available through the Google Fit API though (Samsung does allow their app to share data with Google Fit).

I think your application link is broken

Everyone has trouble accepting criticism to some degree or another. I've found that with younger engineers this is some amount of imposter syndrome that can express itself in different ways. One way I've found to break through is to highlight all of the positive things I notice in a PR. Even if it's something that should be expected (eg. "Thanks for writing this test!") the positive re-enforcement helps with confidence and softens the blow when you do point out some areas for improvement.

Could you speak to security of information that I allow Slapdash to access? I'd be very interested in using this, but how do I know the sensitive information that I give you access to is secure?

Does anyone have experience with Proton Native? https://proton-native.js.org/#/

Never used it myself but I wonder if it is a more performant alternative to Electron

I wish we could use NFC on an Apple watch. It would have saved a lot of trouble. Unfortunately the read range of NFC is too short to work on a climbing wall. The climbers wrist will sometimes be up 12+ inches away from the closest point on the wall. This was the challenge that I ran into with our first prototype.

As for moat, I think we have some patentable IP (another potential large cost to file for that patent) and because our model hinges on a relationship with the climbing gym, the big guys would have to establish a salesforce to sell into these gyms, which I think for the size of the market would not be worth it for them. If we can solidify a decent market share it would probably be more likely that they'd try to buy us out rather than fighting for those relationships, but I'm not certain about that.

I feel like Adobe has a similar problem but handle it much better.
