Would've been super useful if you mentioned what countries you currently support. I went to sign up and closed the tab feeling disappointed.

#22As a former provider on Helpouts ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Helpouts ) who was sad to see it go, I am excited to see more products like this. Good luck!

#23Awesome demo video, really excited to see where this goes! Are there any use cases that people complain zoom is insufficient for?

Yeah we're currently limited by Stripe Express, but we'll probably look to expand relatively soon. We've been looking at RazorPay for India or even enabling Stripe Standard accounts across the board. Any particular countries you're looking for?

Again, these were businesses built around live instruction so the only option was video. Zoom was the one place where we opted for an integration as there’s simply no way we could build better video than Zoom given a limited (or unlimited) time frame.
We actually built tooling inside to pick locations for your classes and appointments, but so far they have rarely been used.
Next we had a bunch of tools from our first product in Epihub, but something we learned from talking to teachers and having built tools for instructors was that you really didn’t need too much. Teachers know how to teach so the best tooling isn’t something overly prescriptive, but something in a virtual classroom isomorphic to a real classroom like a virtual whiteboard.
Again, we’re really new, so we’re still learning.

#27Why not go all the way with the Shopify analogy and call it Teachify?

#28Congrats on the launch. As a fellow elixir enthusiast I wanted to say nice work integrating the client side and pulling this together, you are doing a ton of stuff all at once. I don’t have a use case right now but still will poke around to see what you have built!
I think coming from Rails and switching out controllers for resolvers made adjusting to building SPAs far easier. I still think building routing on the client side feels strange, but it’s way easier when GraphQL just gives you one endpoint to hit and with Apollo you just query exactly what you need.

Thank you, to be honest Abinsthe and Apollo go together incredibly well. I think coming from Rails and switching out controllers for resolvers made adjusting to building SPAs far easier.
