Kind of a random question: why wait so long to do your launch HN? It looks like you've had a working product for quite a while now.
When I see a launch HN from over a YC batch over a year ago I assume there was a pivot or they had trouble getting traction. Doesn't seem like that happened in your cases and it might not happen in most cases, which is why I'm asking.
Either way, looks like an awesome product. I sent it over to the Data Science team at my company and they were pretty impressed.
- Equiet 6y agoWe're building a pretty hard product. We had a nice working demo a year ago, but there's a lot of work to make a platform like this stable. Real-time collaboration is pretty difficult by itself (especially when you're not syncing just text), but we also had to build a computing platform where users can run arbitrary code. That opens us up to everything from a large attack surface to a huge number of quite inventive crypto miners. So we kept building in a private beta until we were confident enough to launch publicly. Interestingly, ever since we started almost 2 years ago we've been pretty laser focused and there were minimal changes to the vision overall. But we also knew what we were going into and that it'd take time.
