One of our devs evaluated you guys and loved it and I do too, but you guys don’t have SCIM support which makes it really hard for us to justify moving to. We moved to an arguably inferior product because telling our product team “you’ll get scim” as part of an auth overhaul is an easier conversation. If you want enterprise customers, I’d recommend nailing down your enterprise feature set~ but the good news is that our devs liked your model the most so it’s just a matter of work for you guys to expand your functionality!

Not impressed so far. We use firebase and would never consider moving over to this in its current state. Why would I pay for some hack on top of Postgres?

Make people pay $50 before you build it.

Even if they don’t pay, you’ve tested the conversation and grounded it in an exchange of economic value.

Or you could just use alteryx

why isn't there a front-end react package that handles all of this front-end logic as well?
Comment · 6 years ago
yes, we were using cognito in this case. but all of the logic even with integrating with one of these auth providers, took us a few weeks to get polished and right.

the list i made about the different pages we had to build to get this to work correctly, it took one of our devs a few weeks to really get the login and account system and integrated with AWS cognito

What did you use to build the landing page? Looks nice

this is a great question. i’ve talked to quite a few people about this, and having some reference customers is super valuable. easy ways are to make a hypothesis about who at what type of company would really need your software, and then use LinkedIn, cold calls, emails, referrals to get through to them.

it is definitely important to go through this process, just because this is defining the market and gets you to a repeatable model of acquiring customers.

Perfect answer

Should we? Sounds like a broken system and going after individuals doesn’t solve anything

alteryx will continue to exist as long as people use spreadsheets.

I emailed Tim Cook a few years ago as a shareholder and told him to get serious about gaming and content. Haha i highly highly doubt he ever saw it.

These gaming franchises are really the only thing bringing people to these platforms, and the one Achilles heel of the apple ecosystem.. even if apple developed its own franchises, just doing something to elevate gaming on the platform beyond a few indie games would be a long lasting competitive advantage.
