As someone who isn't a data engineer: How did you guys come across this problem? Is this something people have often?
Another question: Would be worthwhile to apply to YC with a product of this nature?
This was super helpful. Thank you for taking the time Michael.
Admittedly you're making a good point here that users _would_ get more value this way through increased branding.
Better put, a custom domain isn't part of the value we add, it's just a gateway to realize the value. Should we be charging for something that's not really tied to the value we provide?
We're building a smarter way to share product updates (https://productmap.co).
So far we've received a great amount of interest (waitlist) and have users already integrated that are coming back over and over.
The next steps would be to build out some of the feature requests as it's fairly early right now. One of those requests is having custom domains and users are happy to pay $10-$20/mo for it.
The vision for ProductMap is much larger though -- to tackle the fragmented way companies handle communication and feedback with their customers.
Do you think charging for custom domains would be self-limiting in nature? It's a fairly trivial thing to offer for free.
Thank you in advance! (and meeting with Yuri when he's in Toronto this weekend.)
Down the road we'll be adding things like voting, user feedback, and automatically posting to social media.
Happy to hear feedback!
This is pretty neat. I like the positioning of a monitoring service for your data.
