I hear you and congrats on the launch!

To be clear, I'm not asking that you have all of this out of the gate. It's that I want to see the vision and get excited about where you're heading. Your early users are investing in your future and taking a bet on what you could become.

Right now, I'm not sure what I should be dreaming about.

You're absolutely right...it's important to clarify the vision. Our vision is to do analytics in the future. Today it's aggregate/search/tail/alerting. I think the beauty of this is that our future is still somewhat unknown and we'll listen to our customers on where we ought to be headed.

For _you_ the unknown future may be exciting, but as a customer it isn't. I'm trusting you with a critical part of my infrastructure and betting that you're the future of logging. If I'm going to make that bet, I have to believe that you have a clear vision and that I'm on board with that.

Obviously internally (as a fellow founder), things are always crazy and you adapt and grow. But your customers need more than the faith that you'll figure it out as you go.
