A brief review.
I have no idea what your product does.
The example at the top of the docs pages still doesn't help me understand what your product does. It also doesn't work, it just returns: {"message":"access token is not valid for this request"}
I'm guessing that's because I need to get a valid access token to run the example? Well then you'd better say that, and tell me how to do it, or even better don't require it for your first example to work.
I tried going into the "Advanced Guide". It had a handy first link that linked me to "Hello world in scriptable". That sent me back to the first page of the docs, with the example that doesn't work. At this point, I'm stuck and out, sorry.
- cheerioty 4y agoThanks mate, that feedback is really valuable. We definitely need to sharpen our message and guidance there quite a bit. In a nutshell, Scriptable allows you to provide your users with a code escape hatch, for everything your product doesn't support natively yet. For Shopify this might be a function that calculates a custom discount (https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/discounts/experience https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/discounts/experience), while for something like Framer (see example here: https://www.framer.com/learn/how-to-work-with-real-dynamic-data/ https://www.framer.com/learn/how-to-work-with-real-dynamic-d...) it might be to integrate and fetch data from a 3rd party API. There are countless other examples (Auth0 for instance), which provide something similar to their users to bridge gaps. We also use it within our own product to build some custom components, like providing restricted access to a Tesla, Alarm System, Philips Hue System, etc. Here are two examples of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG1ApkFQ5xU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG1ApkFQ5xU .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Lf-n3WYh8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Lf-n3WYh8 Apologies again for doing a poorly job of getting the message across. We're currently working on revamping our landing page, docs and general onboarding story.
- perk 4y agoExciting product. You should describe some common problems people have, and show us how you could use Scriptable to solve them. That's a nice and "easy" way to showcase a service IMHO.
- cheerioty 4y agoCheers mate! And thanks a lot for suggestion, this is how we’ll so it!
- perk 4y agoNo worries mate. The examples don't have to be ground-breaking or even relevant (for me), but clear so I can see how I can apply Scriptable.dev to solve my specific problems. And, since you target developers, add as much info as you have. Don't skip messy stuff like "how to authenticate" or similar. Good luck!
