    That's a really neat idea to be able to search logs quickly. We definitely support building custom commands, but they are super limited today. We have to build the sophisticated co…

    Quest looks cool. I just downloaded and started playing with it - well done. Today, we write the integrations ourselves. We will eventually open up our APIs so people can build the…

    We don't take security lightly, but we don't do a good job articulating how we safeguard things in the product. We'll fix this - thanks for pushing on it. There are details through…

    Our onboarding is quite under solved, thanks for putting up with it. If you think of Slapdash as sort of an OS, today Spaces are kind of like folders. You can build them manually, …
