What's Tailscale's value prop? It's just a kludge together of various FOSS heavyweights..?
- compootr 2y agoprecisely. Isn't every business that plus some custom stuff & employee time? i.e., isn't some business is just a kludge of FOSS heavyweights, say for example, when they write an app in some open source language, deploy it on an open source OS with open source orchestration etc I think Tailscale is a lot of foss software, with the utility that it lowers the barrier to entry massively
- pdimitar 2y agoOh, you mean like most IT businesses nowadays?
- p_l 2y agoTailscale value proposition is that it just works, all the parts you normally have to assemble yourself already built and connected, with value add in terms of ACL support publicly and things like funnel (exposing services over HTTPS on nodes that don't have a public IP) and taildrop (easy file sharing). Also various integrations, like tailscale k8s operator.
- 9dev 2y agoOh please. The value proposition is that they spend time so you don’t have to, on something that isn’t your actual product. If you don’t understand why that provides value to other businesses, you probably don’t run one?
