- rywalker 12y agoHeh — I actually have never met the man. Someday... We're also working on making space travel free and open too. First cohort analysis, next... space travel.
- benbeingbin 12y agoNice post - Why did you choose to build on Keen IO vs accessing a service like Mixpanel's API?
- rywalker 12y agoWe considered building on Mixpanel (and still are open to it) — we were 100% certain that Keen IO had the API we needed, and we liked that their business model was in line with what we're doing. Also, I was worried that since Mixpanel is somewhat of a competitor, it wouldn't be wise to use them as a foundation.
- dorkitude 12y agoWow, what a great write-up! I work at Keen IO and helped design the funnel API -- this is one of the most sophisticated uses of that API we've seen. Makes me proud :') Question: What's missing from our API? Are there any qualitative or quantitative limitations that got in your way?
- rywalker 12y agoThanks Kyle — been wanting to share with you guys all the crap we've been doing for some time, finally found some time to write some of it down this week. I'll think about some API ideas, but I'm not too shy about firing over ideas as they come to me. You've got great support people, the stuff always gets done.
- tedmiston 12y agoEven as a non-Meteor dev, I enjoyed the level of detail in this post, and the explanation made it feel accessible still. Love the use of Polymer and Google Charts. Did you run into any issues using Polymer in production?
- rywalker 12y agoSuprisingly, no issues w/ Polymer in production. The Google guys didn't lie to us when they said "sure, you should use it in production." Honestly we get asked who our designer is all the time, and I say "it was Google. A whole team of world-class designers at Google."
