Are you afraid they are using you for market verification?

Are you afraid they are using you for market verification?
- brettcvz 13y agoNot particularly. In a sense larger, established companies are always looking at startups for market verification; the startups that succeed are the ones that can out-pace the established companies. In addition, there are market dynamics that preclude any of the larger players truly building a platform for interoperability. See for example the recent Google/Microsoft turf wars, that Mailbox only supports attachments from Dropbox, iOS native composer only works with Mail and not gmail, etc.
- MatthewPhillips 13y agoI'm curious how the inter-device communication will work. Will I be able to send data from my iPad to my Android phone, for example? That would be pretty slick if so.
- jimbokun 13y agoSpeaking of DropBox, they seem like a natural competitor in this space. Given that they are also a YCombinator startup, has that been discussed? Or is it more likely they will just be happy to be one of the many backends you support?
