We're Retool ( https://tryretool.com ). We're not successful startup yet. But we're definitely a startup, haha. We did a Show HN a year ago: ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494 ). Then we did YC, raised a bit of money (almost entirely off our HN traction), and launched around a few weeks ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17725966 ). Now we're profitable!

True, though it's definitely nice to see how that discussion didn't descend into poo-flinging. The poster replied to the criticism and the critic conceded that it would indeed be useful, even for linux users :-)
Sadly, 10 years later, they didn't respond to criticism about removing support for non-ext4-yet-xattr-enabled filesystems.
Also it really shits me that every time I log in I get a little banner that says “Almost out of space? Try Dropbox Business!”.
One, no, I am not almost out of space. I’m at 15% and if you don’t know that, there’s something terribly wrong.
Two, I’m not a business. I’m just me. And I already pay for Pro. Get out of my goddamned face.

Successful is a broad term, but we have tens of thousands of apps on our platform and our SDK is running on over a billion devices. We did YC and raised multiple rounds after.

I'm actually very psyched to use retool in my startup. We're not there yet but soon!

I’m leaving because of this. And I give them the ~$100/year for the pro plan. Screw ‘em. Also it really shits me that every time I log in I get a little banner that says “Almost out of space?

I announced BugMuncher here (since been renamed to Saber Feedback - https://www.saberfeedback.com ), not sure if it counts as a successful startup , but it's been profitably paying my wages for a couple of years :)
That sounds successful to me! Congrats!
