Omg HN front page ^^. @h1fra thanks for sharing it bro!
I just sent a newsletter to all Automatio subscribers that our Early Adopter program is open and while I was watching analytics I saw traffic coming from HN. I was "oh sh*t". My plan was to submit Automatio on Show HN when we fully release it to the public. But what the heck, sometimes best things happens when it doesn't go with a plan.
Anyway, Automatio is project my team and I developing for last 4 years. It's totally bootstrapped, and it's hard but rewarding journey. Don't mind bad written copy on the website, a lot of stuff could be improved. But even we have ~5 developers, sometimes I feel like "one man army", doing various things from designing Automatio logic, features, testing, UI/UX, promotions/growth, talking with customers, accounting, legal, and everything which is necessary to move forward. Of course I have lot of technical support my Co-founder Taher and girlfriend Jelena.
I gonna quote myself and the text I written already on the EA page:
“Wish I had Automatio when I was starting my digital journey ~15 years ago. I was always in need for web automation. Another bot that will save me from boring, repetitive manual work. I started building Automatio to solve my problems, not to "validate" another startup idea. There is nothing to validate. Automatio is the future happening right now, and you should be part of it, because it will bring You tremendous benefits, in whatever field you are in this digital age”
My goal is to build most powerful no-code web automation (not just another web scraper) tool which will give ability to anyone to automate theoretically anything on the web, without writing single line of code.
Hope you share my vision as well.
Peace
- harikb 6y agoYour signup page asks for a certain $$ commitment. Do we need to pay the yearly fee right away. I would prefer to try it first.
- kinderjaje 6y agoSince Automatio is bootstrapped project and in alpha phase, we are looking to work with customers who really find it useful and who can afford yearly package. It might be pricey for independent makers or small businesses, but in around ~2 months we will launch fully publicly so anyone can subscribe on monthly basis.
- anotheryou 6y agoCould there be a (slightly more expensive) purely usage based pricing? It would be amazing for little tinker projects to just pull some values from the web here and there.
- kinderjaje 6y agoActually is based on the usage. And in next 2 months we gonna release normal monthly packages. Every user will get certain amount of credits which are reduced for each second Automatio run. It mean that Automatio is charging per second of what is used, but on monthly subscription basis.
- anotheryou 6y agoSo there is a minimum price? Or could i use and pay for a single credit a month if I want to get e.g. the monthly average temperature of my city.
- kinderjaje 6y agoCurrently only yearly package for EA program. But soon we get out of it, will have flexible packages, something you described.
- h1fra 6y agoBeen really impressed by the video, even though I did not tested it yet seems like a really good project. Congrats on shipping !
- kinderjaje 6y agoThanks buddy, what you saw on video is something I recorded for one of my friend, showcasing Automatio. And then another friend suggested to put that on the homepage, because he said he could feel my energy, even its 35 min long video. And yeah, that video 9 months old, and we did a lot of things on Automatio till then. It's much more powerful. Tnx again for deciding to share the link, u made our day/night here! Peace
