#72Seems very well executed. Congrats! When I last had a need for something like this confidentiality was a major concern (it was at a small-ish but publicly traded company). Not quite at the level of needing signed contracts, but at the same time something more than a random web service someone unnamed threw together would be required. I notice that you haven't put your names and backgrounds on the site - that would he…
Names and pictures don't help in building credibility, because you can put any name you want and any picture you want online. What is that supposed to prove?
When you have a name, some background and perhaps a photo you can do some superficial background research using open resources. I do it all the time. Is it foolproof? no. Is it better than nothing? yes.

#74Piggybacking on this, in case you're looking for general purpose blazingly fast Android emulators to run your tests on, then hop over to https://emulator.wtf (I'm not using the term lightly here - we're multiple times faster and more stable than Firebase Test Lab and you could be running your full test suite in a couple of minutes, instead of hours)
Nice. I think you should do your own Show HN post. Your website needs your name and company info.

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
Your customers don't care _why_ your service is unreasonably expensive. Would you go to a dry cleaner that charged you $50 a shirt because "I fly the shirts to my brothers shop on the other coast to be cleaned"? Of course not. I can think of no reason why you need to be on AWS vs a dedicated server or a stack of used Dell servers in your garage.
We did consider the option of building our own servers but getting started with AWS is much easier because we don't have to maintain our own hardware, so we went with that. This allows us to move much faster and deliver features that users want instead of optimizing costs.
