Congratulations on the launch! Because the href is `text-decoration:none`, this page appears to be blank: https://www.movinglake.com/docs/security/ only by hovering over "Data Privacy" does one realize it's a sub-page I would guess in general the docs need some TLC, since https://www.movinglake.com/docs/destinations/http/ doesn't help me know what knobs I have influence over, as best I can tell "page 2" is the same a…

What are the other option(s) for AWS credentials which would be more secure in this scenario?

sts:AssumeRole or its friend sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity

The target account would need to allow explicit access to our account via an AWS policy. See the docs: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/cross...

This is actually the approach we take for connecting to Google Services.

Quoted post unavailable.

Users flagged it. We can only guess why users flag things. Maybe they thought it was offtopic, or that the terms were obvious? not sure. I've unflagged it now.

When editing the launch blurbs, I usually tell founders to add explanations of any concepts or jargon that HN readers might not be familiar with. It's not always easy to know where to draw that line.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33360234 was pretty rightly flagged though - you're not supposed to put down other people's work in HN threads, especially not Launch or Show HN threads (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).

I heard you were creating connectors for WhatsApp! That’s a great feature and it benefits any company using WhatsApp for communication with their own customers. Thank you, great idea!

Great to hear thanks! Let me know if you want more info about it!

Interesting that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33360234 is considered to put other people's work down.

I asked about some terms and if they are common among the HN crowd. Ako replied that people who are doing enterprise software integrations know them. Then I ask if the HN crowd is nowadays people who are doing enterprise software integrations. (Because that is not what I would associate with hackers / startup founders. So maybe what initially was a community of hackers + startup founders is now a community of grown ups with enterprise jobs.)

Whose work have I put down by asking this?

Congrats on the launch! I do have a quick bit of feedback based solely on looking at the website:

Seeing a clearly fake testimonial immediately makes me lose trust in your product. It was pretty obvious the images in your testimonials were stock images, and a quick reverse image search confirms this (https://tineye.com/search/2f7aa5f73e0cee27b9ff54b1ad29cc8353...).

You obviously put a lot of work into your product, and it'd be a bummer to turn people off for something like that.

There are plenty of startups that focus on enterprise (integration) software, don't see how these are mutually exclusive. And you can be both a hacker at night and an enterprise software engineer by day.
