Lokalize is a great product! Btw so is Notion...is has almost entirely replaced our usage of Google Docs/Sheets. But translation is a whole different beast, one that we plan to support via partner integrations similar to our level of integration with GitHub.
The main differentiator for us (going forward) is that we plan to support editing more than just text: images, configuration (like constants in the code), links, variables, etc.
The main difference between our current version and TSMs is FlyCode can edit texts inside the code whereas TSMs allow you edit texts in external files (JSON, PO) but not inside the code. Often times teams don’t want to lose the ability to search for texts inside the code just to support localization.
With FlyCode you can edit their texts in the primary language (e.g. English) inside the code and texts in other locales in a JSON file. FlyCode is editing texts inside Git allowing teams to run CI on the changes to the copy and make sure they're delivered safely to production, which reduces the integration cost and doesn’t introduce new points of failure. If FlyCode is down (worst-case scenario) you can still edit the texts inside Git just like any other part of the code.
