I think we're talking past each other here. I live in SF and it is not at all clear to me how expanding access to guns would either help or hurt the homelessness challenges in the city.

What I don't understand is how your comment connects to the comment you were replying to.

This is true for options but not RSUs.

Yes, especially if you have account-level usage that isn't just a rollup of user usage, e.g. API usage that isn't tied to a user, but to an account that multiple users are members of.

This is really clever. There are definitely huge gaps with existing product analytics tools once you veer away from their primary ICP – just ask any B2B PLG company about account-level analytics... Looks like a great solution for IoT compan

My startup (courier.com • YC S19) was idea-stage and I did not have meaningful pedigree nor had I previously started a successful startup.

Great article. All of this complexity is the reason I started Courier (YC S19) [0], which we just launched on HN [1] a few days ago. :-) We take the approach of essentially offering an abstraction layer that lets you route to one or more ch

Ooooh yeah, got it. We have lower per-message prices for customers sending at scale. We have our own hard costs to account for, but we work hard to make sure Courier can fit into most teams' budgets.

I was surprised nobody else pointed this out! No, no pivot. Two main reasons: 1. It took a lot of time to build something robust enough that teams were willing to swap out their critical infrastructure for. There is a big different between

Customer.io is more focused on marketing automation (which your campaign use case sounds like) whereas we're focused on transactional notifications. Next quarter we'll have some relevant new releases though, so stay tuned. :-) ht

10s of the thousands in the same month would indeed move you into our paid plan. If this was more like <10k per month for many months, you'd still be able to do that on our free plan.

George & the OneSignal team are great. We integrate with OneSignal (both their mobile push and email services). We integrate with more channels than using OneSignal directly (say you wanted to integrate with Slack or WhatsApp) and offer

FWIW we find that most software teams end up significantly rebuilding/refactoring their notification infra every 2-3 years, so it isn't completely a one-time implementation. Not to mention ongoing maintenance, supporting the produ

Are there any providers we don't have that would be helpful? We're always adding more.
