I recently soft-launched AhDocs (https://www.ahdocs.com). It is an AI-enabled document management system + PAdES compliant e-signature software (PAdES-B-LTA).
It organizes documents around stakeholder (customers, vendors, employees) and extracts insights per document and allows you to "chat" with the documents individually, per-stakeholder, per-stakeholder type, or across your business.
It has a lightweight form builder, supports templates, allows you to upload your documents from your phone's camera, allows you to email-in documents.
Now is the hard-part--trying to get from 0 to 1. I feel like there are a lot of ways I could niche down the product and focus my marketing but I'm a bit rudderless at the moment.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!

Thunder Client is great (https://www.thunderclient.com/)
- Really nice having it integrated into the IDE - Happy with their release cadence - Support/dev has gotten back to me quickly - Does most of the important stuff from Postman imho

The iPaaS landscape was a bit more sparse back in 2015 when we started. And we hoped the breadth of integrations was always going a differentiating factor for us--something we wanted to have full control over.
Ultimately I think it was the right choice. There are enough minor but value-adding modifications we've needed to make over the years that I doubt an iPaaS could provide.

I'm eager to try this (there seems to be an issue with the VSCode marketplace so I haven't been able to install it yet).
Two people on my team use paid versions of postman and I feel like it is a bit expensive (the per user pricing would add up quickly). Do you have/are you planning on releasing a 'team' version w/ shared endpoints?
(Hopefully I can answer some of these questions myself when the Marketplace is back up).

I'm a big fan of what Sarah & Andrew have done at Canny and how they have done it.
This article (humbly) omits the role that having a really great product plays in recruiting. Canny is well designed and built and delivers instant ROI. To a degree, job applicants can sense what working at a place will be like, based on the care the existing team puts into what they are building.

I'm currently the only Customer Success Manager for our bootstrapped Customer Success Management startup Akita --https://www.akitaapp.com (in addition to being CEO/Head of Product Development).
I felt like it was the best way to get continuous feedback from customers and dog food our product.
It has really helped us improve our product but is now going from something that "doesn't scale" to something that "prevents scaling". I hope to hire my replacement pretty soon!
