Congratulations on the work! I’ve been doing startups for +10 years but also worked in big companies. This is pretty interesting, how do we contact you?

One thing I really wish I had learned from a book is how to adapt the architecture to the current stage the company is in (something like this likely exists but IDK).

For instance, the “brittleness” of your systems must follow the “certainty” the company has on product-market fit. In other words, if the % of changing code is high then it should be cheap to change it. I could explain this in much more detail, and I have seen countless under-engineering and over-engineering issues in practice because people lack this mental model.

That's great feedback, we're working on it now! Thank you so much :)

I've taken that into consideration and hidden the post.

Do you still think it's OK if we post tutorials of things you can build with our platform?

We're just trying hard to iterate on our messaging and HN helps us a lot with that, and we're not spamming either. The upvotes mechanism serves that purpose, the post quickly goes down if the link does not resonate with the community.

I'll try to add different interesting content next time however.

You're absolutely right, we are working on providing some examples soon enough. We have two clients using it in production but their websites are behind a login wall, so I'd have to share screenshots.

What kinds of website would you be curious to see if we can handle?

Thanks a lot! We're really trying to make a tool for people to create JAMstack apps on, so we're basically just charging on per value on our abstractions and just enough to cover the cost for AWS.

If you're a coder and are willing to do an user testing interview, we'd love to chat and demo our features! You can see my email in my profile. Cheers

Awesome feedback, perfect. We're working on templates and onboarding! Currently we only do web apps (no mobile apps), we will adjust our copy based on your response. Thank you!

Absolutely, this is a great point. We were working with B2B clients previously so we could "get away with" not having proper onboarding/documentation.

We're working hard on this and we'll have something close to what you mentioned soon! Stay tuned :)
