Off topic. @dang, may I suggest making the submission text a bit darker, something like #444 to #555 which is between the current rgb(130,130,130) and black that's used for title and links? Here's the reasons: - why is the submission text lighter than comments? - rgb(130,130,130) on #F6F6EF is a bit hard to read - rgb(130,130,130) is or is too similar to downvoted text color - rgb(130,130,130) is the same color as vi…
Email that stuff in, there's no '@dang' notification or anything.
Back in the day if you made open source software SaaS wasn't usually an option, but what you did was offer to install it on premise and offer support for a truckload of money. Often enterprises liked this because they wanted someone to call/blame when something went wrong.
I wonder if these new companies could still add that to their offering. Free open source, SaaS if you don't want to host it, or we'll install it for you on your premises and offer support for piles of cast
(This isn't meant for you guys specifically since I see that you basically offer this under "Enterprise")
Looks great. I think every hypergrowth startup I've worked at has gone through the use commercial tool => tool gets crazy expensive as you scale => "let's just roll our own, how hard can it be?" => "oh crap, this actually is more complex than we thought" cycle. There are _so many_ types of services that were similarly disrupted by solid open-source implementations due to their price: business intelligence (Metabase),…
Yeah, that's our exact experience as well. I was super surprised to find out how much of a graveyard open source A/B testing was. Intuit (Wasabi), Facebook (PlanOut), and SeatGuru (Sixpack) open sourced their internal platforms years ago, but they are all abandoned now.
It was upgraded internally to Sevenpack but something like GrowthBook looks much nicer!
Congrats on the launch, this looks like exactly what we need at our stage, combo of feature flags and experiments that fit my mental model of how they should work. Excited to get it integrated and our first feature up and running!
BoldVoice has been using GrowthBook for about ~6 weeks or so now, and it was super lucky that we found these guys right as we were considering way more expensive options like Optimizely (...6 figures). The tooling is pretty intuitive and Graham and Jeremy have been providing stellar support. There's still a ton to build here and I'm excited to see what these guys add to the platform.
And why MIT license not AGPL?
Can you please say how the open source business model work for you? In your case cloud based services and enterprise support? Is this model profitable as a company? And why MIT license not AGPL?
Congratulations on the launch, guys. Over at Statsig we have tremendous respect for what you have been doing.
