Looks intriguing and I can tell you guys have spent a lot of time on the feature-set. But the biggest thing that will hold me back(and may be others) is a lack of clarity about security and my data(what happens in the event that you are down? in the event that you close shop?)

OP here. This is something that we are very aware of. We only have good intentions and want our users to feel 100% secure with us. If you don't, please let us know how we can change that! :) We don't have it now, but we will make it possible to export all of the data in UserApp at any time. Regarding security and privacy we have written a section about it here: https://help.userapp.io/customer/portal/topics/550128-se…

Why? Honestly, how can you "outsource" such a vital part of your web app to a third party? Not only is this a privacy disaster but also, if this user service goes down or has a temporary downtime, your own business is effectively unusable. I understand that it makes sense to not write these types of user functions and management things over and over again. The solution however, is not a SaaS, but a library or a littl…

OP here. Exactly because of this reason, you should use us. We have built a low-latency HA platform. And it's our core business. This means that we will do it the best way possible. I can understand your concerns, but you could try us out on a smaller project to begin with.
