Is there anything Airship can do that you can't do with Optimizely?

#32Congrats on the launch! You're probably already aware, but if not here's a heads-up that there's a company called Urban Airship that is in a related space (and based on what they do, your space could be in their sights). Just something to think about. Good luck!
Thanks for the heads up! We've taken a look and so far seems like we add value in different ways since they focus on mobile engagement, but definitely will consider this going forward

#33While I'd love to test out Airship, not being able to do that without signing up is pretty much a non-starter for me. When I say pretty much, I can often be persuaded with having at least the documentation available without signing up. For example Logrocket ( https://logrocket.com/ ) needs signing up, but the documentation is all there and I can immediately see the effects it will have on my app if applied.
+1. With this kind of product, I want to see docs and code snippets immediately. What kind of code do I have to write to use your product?
Thank you, really good suggestion. We'll see if we can put snippets on the main page to help with this.

#34Wanted to drop in a quick review of Airship (disclaimer: I got to know the founders through the experience of being early users). We, at Repl.it, started using it for a very risky rewrite of a core part of our product -- the IDE ( https://repl.it/site/blog/ide ) -- and it helped us roll it out safely, turning it off when we needed to, when we get a user bug report Airship could quickly tell us if that user has the fe…
Cool service. Heads up, your Go version is really out of date with some potentially serious security holes. You should probably upgrade to 1.10
Updating a lot of our languages as we speak ;) Thanks

#35Congrats on launching!
Regarding your pricing page: I feel the "10,000 API calls" and "75,000 API calls" limits on the Hobby and Growth plans would deserve some context. Is it 10k API calls per day or month? How fast do I exhaust it?
You comment mentioning that you emphasize local computation was helpful and the pricing page might benefit from including it.

#36This looks cool. How long have you guys been working on this?
For everyone else if you want to see their api's not very hard to take a look from their SDK.

#37As the CTO of a growing website (https://www.kapwing.com) we have been looking for a tool to make it easier to test certain features / changes on a smaller scale. I signed up reluctantly because I am curious about how your SDK works. But I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find any examples or info on the amount of work it would take to integrate.
My initial questions are: - Will this work with frontend React code? - Do I need to create separate database hooks? - Can I create UI experiments without writing code? - Does it integrate with Stripe if we want to test conversions?
