These are all great points! 1. Definitely want to improve favicons. For deriving fields, we do have formula fields. Would love to show that to you, it's not obvious enough how to use to enable for this HN launch. 2/3. Sorry about

So far, we've been doing setup on behalf of customers precisely because it's the easiest option for our customers. We're open to exploring self-serve, but realistically that's going to be really hard to get right. I&#x27

You should check out https://www.stacksync.cloud/ (YC W24) -- they do a bidi realtime sync between CRMs and databases. Not sure if that scratches your itch! We are definitely looking to make our API public. We've built

You should check out Twenty! https://twenty.com/ (YC S23) -- they're an OSS CRM. I totally agree the object management UI is too clunky right now. I want to redo that set of pages, they were the first ones we shipped.

Totally agree we're way too barebones to say we're an SFDC alternative today. Reports and dashboards/views are the next two things on the roadmap. For workflows we've been using our Zapier app so far, but we're look

Right now our email sync is maximally simple, so that it's predictable for customers. If anyone on a thread has the sync set up, then any thread with outside parties gets synced. Each outside company/person is associated with the

An Outlook/Excel add-in is a great idea. Something that lets you peek at CRM data related to a person/company, you mean? We support syncing Outlook email/contacts into Okapi. Definitely agree that outside of tech, Microsoft&#

The plan for winning is: slowly at first, then suddenly. We'll start with smaller businesses transitioning between CRMs, and grow with them. Number one goal is to never give customers a reason to churn.

Attio is great. I think it's among the best new entrants. So far, the main difference is that Okapi can be even simpler than Attio if you'd like it to be. There are no mandatory built-in objects, and no enrichments/automation

There are useful mental analogies between pedestrian line-of-business CRUD apps and a compilers. I don't disagree with that thesis at all. But I have seen it taken too far. Many engineers abstract and generalize business requirements u
