thanks! fixing now

Interesting. What use cases are you guys targeting with this?

Sorry about that! Docs are fixed now.

What's the legal structure like? If you have a corporation already and Cofounder1 owns shares - it's trickier to do something about it. If not, just start a company with Cofounder2.

Worked for us.

(I was one of Supergrain's (now Supaglue) competitors in the metric store space)

Great to see you guys pivot and move on to something new.

I'm obviously biased here (we've done the same) but pivoting is good for most early stage companies that haven't taken off in a big way (fundraising != taking off). IMO more companies would have good outcomes if Founders were more flexible and actually focused on building a good business as opposed to banging their heads against the wall on something that's clearly not working.

Wish you guys the best of luck with Supaglue!

Lago is awesome. We'll likely use Lago at my startup (metlo) when we implement full self-serve usage-based billing.

We'll keep checking in here to answer questions for the rest of the day. Excited to hear what you think!

For your SaaS integrations, does Monoid just forward requests through to the respective privacy API? Or is it something more?

Interesting project. Have heard a lot of people complain about OneTrust.

This looks great! Vault is such a headache sometimes... Will consider switching

Thanks! Credit goes to tonik.com for this! :)

Thanks! Yes, hiring SWEs in US time zones! :)

Thanks! Yep, we support GraphQL.

Thanks! (Selfishly) We really hope so! :)

If you have any feedback or advice btw, pls email me at shri@metlo.com! I'd really appreciate it! :)

Not super sure about how the internals work but iirc this is the flow:

- Eng writes Hack/Python code on backend with a view tag-ish

- Client has native components for NT and Blocks. The native component references tag-ish from above and pulls code / config

- The code / config returned from the backend gets translated into Litho/ComponentKit components (so native Android UI elements) and rendered

Thanks! Lago seems incredible too.

We're (eventually = 2-3 wks) likely going to price on usage so we should def chat! :)

Websockets -- not yet, no. We might do it in the next couple months if more people ask for it. The main business logic should be similar but there are some differences in the way web socket traffic behaves which will require some tweaks to our anomaly detection.

Re: diff between us and Cloudfilt -- Cloudfilt seems like a primarily bot-protection tool while we help find all your endpoints, rank them by risk, classify the sensitive info they expose, test against OpenAPI specs (or generate them based on your traffic), find and protect against anomalous requests, etc…

Incredible. Will definitely have to check it out!

Edit: And thanks for the star! :)

Thanks! StepCI looks great too; and your docs are beautiful! :)

Thank you! Glad you like it! :)

I'm sure Metlo's a little rough around the edges (being nice to ourselves, "little") so pls send us all your feedback in our discord community / at [shri,akshay]@metlo.com! :)

Thanks! Please reach out if we can help with something!

Awesome. Hope you like it!

And if we can help with anything, I'm at shri@metlo.com :)

Sorry about that, should've clarified!

NT - Native Templates. It's a cross-platform app dev framework where you can write Hack on the server once to make surfaces for both iOS and Android.

Blocks is similar to NT but in Python (IG backend is all Python)

RN's not really core to Meta tbh. The most important surfaces are all built either natively or with NT / Blocks I think. Also ~19 months outdated though.

Also very true! PMF for dog-dating apps (intentionally bad example) is virtually useless. OTOH PMF in the database market is frickin amazing and you're likely drowning in revenue! As much as people don't want to believe it, TAM is a very very real in a startup's success.

> What you can control is the market you're in, your team, and the unique insight that you bring as the founder. Your job as a founder is to leverage these strengths to get to PMF.

Agree with everything here except (maybe I'm contrarian) the 'unique insight that you bring as the founder' part. I'm fairly convinced that unique insight is just a VC pitch thing. In reality, the market is too efficient for your 'unique insight' to really benefit you all that much beyond your Seed or Series A pitch. There will almost certainly be plenty of competitors ripping you off and at least one or two funded by other top-tier VCs. If the only thing you have different is your 'authentic unique insight', you're going to lose anyway.

> Anything that is not in service of this does not matter in an early stage startup.

This is too true and something I didn't internalize fully until maybe 6 months into my startup. If you have PMF, people can help you with everything else. If you don't, no one can really do anything for you.

This is awesome. So excited to see where you folks take Linen! :)

Hi HN! I'm a co-founder of Metlo. So excited to finally share this here.

@ashekhawat and I will be hanging out here for the next few hours to answer any questions you have! :)
