Problems: 1) Your signup page (the link for this post) doesn't say anything about what you do. The signup page and "what is this?" page should be the same. 2) Your landing page at brightwork.io is painfully slow. Don't make us watch animations to find out what you do. Put it in static text so we can read it as quickly as we want. 3) I watched the painfully slow animations, and I still have no clue what you do. Tell me what pain point you're eliminating or what I'll be able to do with your product that I couldn't do before.

  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.

    > gather data from their mobile applications What data? User behavior/tracking? Data from the API that I wrote? Data from a BaaS like Parse? I still don't understand this at all, and I've never heard of Cloudability.

      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.

Whats the differentiation between you and segment?

  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.
