I love that people share their latest projects, chat about experiments. 3D printing is such a creative hobby and I'm constantly amazed with the ingenuity I see. Really helps me stay motivated through the night/weekend grind.
A few stats about my beta program:
* Roughly 2,200 applications for the private Beta program
* 200 beta invitations sent
* 100 actually used the product
* 180 hanging out in Discord
* 6 months of nights/weekends development
* 10 paid Beta spots offered, sold out in 2 days
I do support over email or Discord.
I think event-based analytics like Posthog are more valuable than a chat bubble integration, if you have to choose 1 to implement. People often tell you more with their actions than with words.
