Keeping it simple by not focusing on enterprise market and still offering powerful features like email automations and kanban pipelines. Also no per-user fees :)!

I understand your point and yes, low-level hacking has become increasingly difficult due to both locking down and increased complexity.

There's still many ways to be creative though and I think there's also more potential than before due to increased resources for developing other kinds of applications.

It's not all bad.

Because I don't like it. And for small businesses I don't think it makes sense because team members end up sharing accounts and it just becomes a mess of who did what.

I'm competing on making a CRM that's actually enjoyable to use and not just a way to keep track of your sales team :).

Yep! That's what I do with Wobaka too. You don't have to give access to your complete email. Just BCC or forward messages to a specific email.

Thanks! I hope you'll like it :)!

I'll be making some basic analytics features this autumn. Pipeline overview over time, per-user metrics, maybe extrapolated deals etc, nothing super fancy :).

Thank you for taking the time to share this :)!

Hi!

I'm making this for myself and other small businesses. So not really interested in enterprise :).

Open source model is interesting though and I've thought about it before. We'll see :)!

Thank you!

That's interesting. I'll always help you export your data whenever you want manually until I've built a good export tool :).

Thanks! I also check API docs :)! I'll be working on documenting the API in September.

Hey!

The company is just me and I'm not trying to land huge customers. Therefore I need no marketing or customer support team. I'm building it for myself and other small businesses. I think I can make that sustainable. I also have no interest in being acquired so you won't have to worry about that either :).

Not sure what you mean? Screenshots are actual screeenshots. They've just been cropped since it would look really odd otherwise :).

Yes! I use Rum :).

Also Garden for CSS so it's 100% Clojure :D.

No framework, just CSS :).

Thanks! I don't really want to compete on price so that's why I'm not highlighting it more. I just want to speak to small business owners :). Fixing the typo now!

Thanks John :)

Sure! Just screenshot and some editing in Figma

I love it :)!

I've built products with Python, Ruby and Node before and Clojure has been super fun!

Not missing anything particular. Since it has interop with both Java and JS you can often find libraries if you like to.

Thanks! That makes sense, will work on it :)!

Sure! I like to keep it simple. Might add it in the future :).

Thank you!

It's Clojure + ClojureScript, using a view library called Rum :).

I don't think that big of a firm will sign up. I'm building a CRM for small businesses and makers. I don't think that large firms would enjoy it.

Haha, I honestly don't know where I got it from. It used to be a word game I made in 2012 and I've just had the domain since :D.

Design of everyday things is the only book I've read on design and it's great :)!

I also learn from others and save design inspiration all the time and share it on Klart.io/pixels.

Thanks! I'll make sure to put up a video/gif on some workflow this week :). Also, I'm using Stripe to handle payments and will not charge anything for the free trial.

Not really atm. I will publish documentation for the API and will also make it work with Zapier. But if you're after lot's of integrations maybe Pipedrive is better :).

Hey!

Thanks for your feedback! I just want to mention that Wobaka is $49 for all of your team, not per user. So if you're more than 3 users it's not more expensive :).

I'm very happy with it! I'll write a blog post about it soon, meanwhile I do tweet some development stuff about it on @drikerf :).

Thanks, I fixed the typo now :).

As I mentioned, there will be an API soon (same as I'm using for the frontend). Just have to document it.

If you're on the trial and need more time to evaluate. Just let me know :).
