Working on Lunova — a QuickBooks Online app that you can create custom alerts via SMS/email such as when big deposits land, invoices go overdue, or vendor prices spike. Just cleared Intuit’s tech/security + marketing review (Took over 3 months... after building the MVP) and we’re now live on the QBO App Store. Feedback and feature requests welcome: https://uselunova.com


How's it working with the Quickbook API - any tips?


Pretty smooth once you respect the limits: 500 calls/min + 10 concurrent per realm. We run a per-realm token bucket and queue work; If you throttle and batch, you won’t hit 429s, but I talked to a few QB app owners and bigger apps tend to find it restrictive.


Are you going to go on their new Partner Programme?


I am considering it. It starts at $300/month so it's definitely a stiff payment for what I can afford now.


I know, it use to be that being an eco system partner was something companies wanted as it solved the issues for their customers, now they use it as another revenue source.
