What a great run. I remember the IPO party in 2016, very early in my career, and being in disbelief that a texting API was used by so many people. It was my first time writing code for systems that operated at _real scale_. While the last few years have been a bit rocky, you can't understate the impact that jeffiel had on the developer tools ecosystem.
The AI-town stuff is cool, but the real benefit is how all the backing frameworks are already integrated. I'll definitely be using this as a jumping-off point for my next LLM project.
I’ve always described this as “selling features vs selling solutions”. As a startup grows, the buying persona changes. Startups that sell to developers do best when they’re selling features, whereas a product manager/CEO is shopping for a solution (like increasing customer engagement). A neat thing I’ve noticed is that at one point, almost every B2B company will add a “Solutions” page to their website to highlight that.
This is no different than using Reclaim.ai or Calendly with your work calendar. Obviously you should do your diligence with what software you give access to your calendar, but this likely isn't the first SaaS that has access these days...
> Your alarm bells should be going off at that point.
Whenever the erosion of privacy comes up, folks here point to regular folk being ambivalent until their identity is stolen. But even among the tech literate? Chill, don't worry, everybody is reading your work email!
This is cool. I like the idea of using something separate than Notion, because Notion tends to get too distracting.
Have you considered adding some operating templates for startups? I imagine your user is signing up because they need new process, and giving them some inspiration to play with may accelerate onboarding. (I signed up hoping to get that template you used in your demo video)
I'm not a fan of the superhuman interface, I've found that it create a big learning curve for what is could be a simple interface. At the same time I'm glad you guys drew inspiration from Linear, they have some great design too. I feel like they balance the hotkeys + clickable elements really well.
Slack integration is great. I think Loom would be big in my workflow too.
Happy to do a user interview etc to help out. email is in my profile.
Definitely see what you're saying about the Superhuman-like interface. We're still iterating there. We need to enable pro-level usage without hindering accessibility to casual users. We're continuing to simplify simplify simplify :)
We are currently testing an integration using the Loom SDK.
Will definitely take you up on the user interview. Thanks!
Stream Club | San Francisco | Full-Time, Remote-OK | http://stream.club We are an early stage, venture backed startup building a better way to livestream from your browser. We're looking to hire a full stack engineer. We've hired an engineer from Hacker News before, and we're so excited to add another!
Here's a little video introducing ourselves: (30 seconds)
If you use OBS, I would love show you our product https://www.stream.club. We're bringing OBS into the browser, making it really easy to create live video content.
Our customers find that they can get setup in Stream Club much faster than they can with OBS, and they don't need a powerful computer to do it.
Great question! We like to onboard each livestreamer personally to understand their livestreaming workflow and goals. Completely understand the disdain for our ambiguous website, and would be happy to send a beta invite directly to your email if you (or anyone else on here) is willing to give it a shot!
This looks like a slightly inferior version of https://streamyard.com/ (in particular, fewer participants at each price level) - do you have any value propositions above what they offer?
Streamyard is a great company so I'll take slightly inferior as a major compliment!
We're actually have all the features of their Professional plan ($50/month) at half the cost.
The on-screen participants per live stream is something we've capped at six for usability reasons (livestreams just don't look good with 10 faces on a stream).
My particular use case depends on more than 6 participants, which is why I asked - but I think it may not be a common one.
Thanks for explaining! Hope you're able to get it into public beta soon.
edit: I also realized that "slightly inferior" was denigrating, which wasn't really how I intended it, even if you took it as a compliment. Sorry about that.
