It is the best RSS replacement. Let's me follow a lot of good sources, across multiple platforms. And not just sites, but individual, interesting people. The DM feature? You can only message followers, kinda useless.

yes, we are tackling a single vertical, life sciences - with multiple SaaS products. the core vision is the industry cloud. by being super specialized, the cost of sale is massively lower. no need for an army of sales people. focus is on pr
