#62Wish you all the best so wanted to share a bug: https://imgur.com/a/2kr81fH Your web app is probably burning a lot of unnecessary render cycles as a side effect of this behavior as well

#63could be interesting if you added the option to also integrate their API with API aggregators -- write their integromate, zapier, pathfix, other blocks -- or at least give templates -- even templates would be good organic content:
- how to add your API to Zapier - how to add your API to Integromat or whatever their new name (?) is - rinse & repeat for all the other fabrics - pathfix, mulesoft, etc.

Thanks for the report!
That page is actually hosted by one of our partners, PropelAuth, who manages end user authentication for access our dashboard. (End user login wasn't core to our business at Kable, so we found a partner who could manage this for us.)
Highly recommend PropelAuth for anyone looking for user authentication, they've been an amazing partner!

Amazing idea, and actually something we're actively developing.
Soon you'll be able to connect Kable to any of your other data sources through Segment. Then, if your application is hooked up to services like Zapier, Amplitude, Mixpanel, etc, you'll be able to funnel data into Kable for billing purposes with no additional code.
Our goal here is to make it super easy to use Kable for billing no matter what your existing stack looks like

#66> Our pricing is pay-as-you-go based on the volume of events we store and the revenue we help our customers generate. That means we get to dogfood our own software for usage-based billing! So what is your pricing? The website says "starting at $200 / month", but before I go to sign up and try to integrate, I'd like to be able to estimate if it'd be $200/mo for my company or $2,000/mo. P.S.: I signed up, even got to a…
Non-public pricing is something that really grinds my gears...
It's a big red flag for me too, I usually nope right out.

Is there a way to integrate paddle?
Integrating Paddle (and other payment providers) is in our plans for the spring. Our existing customers have skewed toward Stripe, so we started there. If you're using Paddle today and want to get started with Kable, let me know and we can chat about prioritizing Paddle sooner
Have any example on how to add kable to a graphql API?

Because it's Enterprise pricing. We price based on your company. If your logo is big enough, we'll give you cost price because we'll use you as a marketing tool. If you're a government client, we'll give it to you cheap enough to get a foothold in your organisation, then pull in massive deals over years and take away discounts once it's too hard to get rid of us. If you're some random company, you get sticker price - but we can't publish that because most of our revenue comes from large Enterprise who all get custom, MNDA-protected pricing.

We don't currently have any customers using Kable and GraphQL together. To be totally honest, I'm not a GraphQL expert, and I don't want to give you any false information, so unfortunately no, I don't have an example for you.
Kable can be accessed through our Node and Python libraries (more languages on the way) or over HTTPS REST API. I will have to defer to your design sense about the best way to leverage these technologies with a GraphQL API today.

This concerns me as a non-government agency. I hope vendor lock-in isn’t your business strategy.
