Hi YC, We’re Darrell, Jibril, and Robrecht, the co-founders of Appollo ( https://www.tryappollo.com/ ). Appollo is a single API to launch your app to all eCommerce platforms. Appollo enables you to create 1 app with our APIs and launch it to all the eCommerce platforms while also letting you maintain it as 1 app. Previously, you had to create and maintain an app separately for Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommer…

Looks really great. I have 2 ecomm side projects I'd like to start using this in right away.

BTW what happened to the live stream application/idea?

We are building ContainIQ ( https://www.containiq.com/ )! We provide Kubernetes native monitoring instantly with pre-built dashboards and easy to create monitors. A one-line install that takes 5 minutes to set up and it just works. By using eBPF we’re able to correlate kernel-level metrics with Kubernetes objects. Our current users are using our product to track and get alerted on things like p95/p99 latencies, Kuber…

Congrats on your launch. Your site was a little light on details. Could you say how your product compares to Pixie which is also Kubernetes-native and uses eBPF?

Doesn't the name kind of clash with some already existing, relatively well known software? I was sort of confused when I saw the name of your company. https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/

Hey, haha yh good spot! We picked appollo because we help people launch (apollo bit) apps (app bit).

I love this. Now that you have a working version, what's next on your road map?

Thanks so much! We are building out more API endpoints so more customers can start building their app with our APIs. In particular some folks have asked for Front-end functionality e.g. to change the theme on the target website. If you have any suggestions of things you would like would love to hear about them!!

Hey! As someone who isn't super familiar with this space, I'm a bit confused about who your target user is. At first I thought it was for people who have a mobile app and want to publish it on a bunch of stores, but the APIs are all about querying products and customers, so I guess it's for integrating with eCommerce platforms? A concrete example use case on your website would help explain this to me a lot!

Browsing a bit through the doc I believe this is targeted to developers that build "apps" that online merchants can (buy and) use on their e-commerce website. I agree with alex: a sample app would probably make it more clear!

Thanks guys! Yes correct! we are targeting developers that are building apps/extensions for the website. Great idea about the sample app, will add!

I'll follow up with you over email! Long story short, customers only used it once and didn't come back to the product. We also were more interested in working on this problem that we faced ourselves while working on the live stream application.

Hi! We actually came across the idea for Appollo whilst trying to distribute the live-streaming app to ecommerce stores. It looked like too much effort so we built what we wish had existed. This new market seemed a better founder/market fit and had much stronger customer "pull".

Hi, I run clippingmagic.com (a SaaS to clean & prep ecommerce product shots) so this could be a great fit for us - we've talked many times about integrating with the platforms, but... A few comments & questions: 1. https://tryapollo.com fails to provide a secure connection? 2. Viewing https://docs.tryappollo.com/docs/introduction on mobile leads to the sidebar getting hidden - may want to copy your ToC into the How T…

I keep misspelling your domain, https://tryappollo.com/ (two 'p's, your site) fails to provide a secure connection, https://tryapollo.com/ (single 'p') works fine but is a completely different website.

Yh good catch! We'll fix that!

I have some personal experience with this. I think what you are trying to do is commendable. Group therapies are also pretty expensive and not accessible for most people except in extreme circumstances. The thing is if you're having say, 10 people for a 1 hour session, that gives each person about 6 minutes to share. But really more like 4 - 5 minutes after overhead. I think that is still worth _something_ (12 dollar…

Good points! We've thought a lot about this and how to make the 1 hour as meaningful as possible. Three things that may help with this:

1) we do breakout rooms so members have more time to talk with one another. 2) groups are capped at the 8 person mark. 3) depending on the week, not everyone is always hoping to chat/share, sometimes members just wish to listen that day.

Hey friends, you’re working on something extremely important and it’s a real honour to be here for your launch thread. I’m celebrating my four year anniversary of getting out of a cardiac ward and to be blunt, I wish this had been invented four years ago. Seriously folks, wonderful work - this is really cool.

thank you <333
