So moved by this post! I wish more CEOs had the courage to post their feelings about how tough it is to keep things together in the face of adversity. This is well thought out, well worded, and completely amazing. THANK YOU for putting a spotlight on what is something most CEOs are afraid to talk about for fear that it makes them look weak. Bravo! Keep it coming. Keen.io is an amazing product and I wish you and your team all the best!

While I don't agree with all the points, the best advice in here is:

"But for all that is good and holy, don’t join a startup for the fucking money."

If you're joining or starting a company because you think you're going to buy a yacht and a small island, stop it! Recently I've seen some Founders tweeting things that make me shake my head every day. You're not going to be rich unless you have that once in a lifetime solution no one else is building. That's why it's called, "winning the startup lottery." It's still a fucking lottery. :)

This reply makes me think of Craigslist and how it was really meant to be a community based platform for people to do or sell whatever they wanted. Add that they have/had a pretty active forum which was also a quasi-democracy in which the community decided what was good or bad.

I think this is what was intended for Product Hunt, but somewhere along the line something happened and this became a bit skewed.

I've never met Ryan, but I know many that have. It sounds like this was not a product meant to build on the "boys club" but to let people know about cool shit people were building. Eventually it became THE place to find new products and services to a point where, if you were launching a product, posting and having it upvoted on Product Hunt was/is a must.

From my perspective, that's not being a horrible person. That's creating something that people trust. Sounds like innovation to me.

Used to use Shoutcast for an internet radio thing I did. While it wasn't the most intuitive thing to set up, once it was working it never broke. Interesting to see that someone has found value in both WinAmp and Shoutcast when there are so many other solution that make it much easier to listen and/or broadcast music.

I'm talking about native apps. Not just a responsive site.

I'm more afraid if it knows I'm doing something else.

Great question. Segment is not entirely focused just on data. If you look at their integrations, they have over 130 possible integrations of an array of options.

I think the other big difference is the dashboard. Brightwork will be a great tool to save time when trying to combine and collect data.

Brightwork is a data API aggregation tool. When you're done building whatever mobile application you've built you likely want to collect data (usage, demographic, etc). Most Developers use more than 1 data API because not every tool collects everything someone wants to collect. So they use multiples because they want to fill in the gaps where they exist.

Brightwork allows Developers to hook in one API ours, and then funnel that information through it to a dashboard where all that data can now be combined, better collected, and better understood.

Once you have the data you want, you can just hit the "Export Tool" which will then output your report in a very easy to use format. Brightwork takes all the heavy lifting out of data collecting.

Hope that helps clear it up.

Thank you for the feedback.

Brightwork makes it easier for Developers to gather data from their mobile applications.

What makes Brightwork different is really the ease of use of the dashboard. There are other API Management tools out there, but Brightwork takes the best of the available mobile APIs and puts them in one place for Developers to be able to figure out what's working and what's not working. Think Cloudability, but with data.

Co-Founder here. If anyone has questions let me know. You can get a high level overview of what brightwork is at brightwork.io.

First Pandora buys Ticketfly and now Conde Nast buys Pitchfork? My new prediction is that Spotify will be acquired by Proctor and Gamble.
