I can see what you mean. That was really not the intent. The feedback that we received when we first launched the product mattered a lot, and this was meant as a way to acknowledge…

If it's a B2C model, then ad-supported might be the way to go, but if it's B2B, there are lots and lots of great examples of making things work. You definitely need to figure out t…

Yes, you're right on. But in those 5.2 million sessions there's everything, including the many applications that use our embeddable editors free of charge. So, it's a cool metric, …

No, the model is the product-led growth model. For example, take our BEE Pro product: we do tens of thousands of monthly users of the free editor at beefree.io, of which over 10,00…

Thanks for the kind words and for the best wishes. I agree: cannot believe it's been 7 years already!!

We believe in reducing to a minimum the friction to get started. So, I seriously doubt that we will ever have a paywall to get going. In fact, it's more likely that we double-down …

Yes, absolutely.

We literally re-wrote the whole thing from the ground up 3 times LOL. At the start it was a JS app built with Jquery. Then we moved to AngularJS (1.x). Finally we decided to rewrit…

Thank YOU for being a customer!!

There are so many, but a key one is that reducing the distance between what you created, and the people for whom you created it, really does pay off: more adoption, more feedback, …

Thanks so much for the kind note. Yes, my intention was precisely to celebrate the positive impact that the original thread on HN (exactly 7 years ago today!!) had on our business,…

Correct. It's a wholly-owned subsidiary of Growens. It started as a project within MailUp, the email service provider that is still a big part of Growens. The project grew, and so …

Thanks for the note. Email is such a versatile tool: all kinds of use cases and all sorts of ways to address those use cases. You're absolutely right that - for some of the use cas…

BEE is a startup within a larger company ( https://www.growens.io/ ). The parent company funded the startup. At the very beginning, it was a team of 6 (2 of which part-time), if I …

Yes, that's right!

Thanks so much for the kind words. Truly appreciated. And yes, most of our product and development team is still Italy-based, across many regions of Italy :-)

Thanks for the note and for your interest in what we do! You can use the templates freely to design emails and pages on beefree.io. If you want to embed our visual builders in your…

Thanks Simone. Great to hear from you as well. It's been a great ride with BEE, and we're just getting started!! :-)

Believe it or not, it's a complete coincidence. Nathan interviewed me on September 23rd, and we had no control on when the interview would actually be published on his podcast.

At BEE we develop visual builders for emails, landing pages, and more. We recorded over 5,214,407 sessions of our builders in hundreds of software applications last month. As a com…

The editor that we had launched here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8474744 is now available as an embeddable JS plugin. See http://beefree.io/ and click on "Embed". Any feed…

Yep. If I remember correctly, that's a tough one that we're still struggling with. BeeFree is very much a work in progress, so you'll definitely see some improvements in terms of e…

Cool! If you have any suggestions, please post on http://forum.beefree.io/

Thanks so much for the kind words. It was a lot of work (and there's a lot of work ahead of us). This means a lot to the team! Thanks again.
