Congrats! Whether it's Notion, Google Docs/Sheet/Slides, Coda, Figma, Adobe Cloud, iCloud, Slack, Google Drive, One Drive, etc. the issue for me is content management and SSO. There is a high bar to get anointed to manage content inside a company/team. For example, we use Office 365 and OneDrive for file management. But, I prefer Keynote over PowerPoint. Saving Keynote to OneDrive folders works perfectly fine. Of cou…

>SSO

So you're looking to pay $1000 per user per year?

Or at least the SSO + a full audit trail.

Good point. We would have no interest in paying for or managing SSO. Sorry for not being articulate.

My point is that since Decipad is not a client app that creates documents on the file system, my recommendation would be to integrate with the Office 365 ecosystem to gain SSO with Office 365 so that our users could easily navigate to Decipad. For us, that would be table stakes.

That's probably something I would see "on-top" of Notion. I really like the formulas on steroid, but having another tool inside the company is a bit painful. Notion team could authorize add-ons built on top...

Seeing what's happened with Figma, I think it's important to have at least one other major player. There's always a market for an alternative to , and they are more suited to smaller companies looking to reduce expenditure that can tolerate a maybe less mature (fewer integrations etc.) and less familiar product, but with a better support turn around, and maybe even a stake in driving product features

This up-pricing is so short sighted. Offering SSO is a whole user creds mangement flow you don't have to write, secrets you don't have to store, and password theft PR you don't have to have.

So it's cheaper, less risk, and reduces friction to join.

If I'm doing a professional SaaS today, I don't store passwords. I use login with (Microsoft, Google, Apple with a user flow for FIDO Alliance passwordless) and SSO. If consumer, I'd use those and add Facebook. Gaming, Discord. Etc.

It should look like this:

Companies not offering the Sign in with Apple may be just mad they might not get an email address they can correlate:

https://zapier.com/app/login

Now that Apple launched free MDM (Apple Business Essentials) and corporate Apple IDs, expect more apple accounts.

I've been working on Decipad. It's a low-code notebook to tell stories with numbers and build interactive models. It's like Notion with spreadsheet-like capabilities. You can build and publish interactive notebooks for things like forecasting, burn rate, a mortgage calculator, or just something fun. We're testing with early access users. Would be grateful for any feedback if you're interested! Decipad.com

Is there any way to try it out interactively without having to sign up for early access? When I loaded the website and I read what it said about changing Discount Rate, I immediately tried clicking around to actually do that and see the change but of course it didn't work.

Right now, access is limited as we continue to build. We are collaborating with a small group of early access users from our community as we develop certain use cases and features. We will be expanding access in the coming months as we expand to new use cases and capabilities.
