this looks cool, but what if a user messes up my database? how does it work?

Hey, Im the CTO & Co-founder of ExtenduS. The product is multi-tenant, your users are isolated from one to another and from your SaaS product.

I don't understand. Say, I'm a user, I want to implement an extension to reply another user's comment automatically. To do that, I need to access the database of user comments. And then I mistakenly remove all comments from the other user?

At the moment users can only customize their own account. In the future a user can install an app in their account that was build by a developer, but the app will only have access to the user account.

I kind of understand what it tries to accomplish but more examples on the homepage would help. E.g. "Rapidly meet prospects' unique requirements" could be followed by a specific example.

Hey, Im the CTO & Co-founder of ExtenduS. That's great feedback, we are on it! Thanks!

Will users be aware that they are "running" in extendus? I mean does it feel like a plugin(=intercom)?

Hey, Im the CTO & Co-founder of ExtenduS. Not that much, we are aiming for the product to be fully embeddable in your SaaS, just like Auth0, Stripe, Disqus.

It'd be interesting to hear about some example integrations / extensions / thins people might create in the future?

E.g. a Disqus alternative? Or maybe an Excel spreadsheet (sort of embedded in the main page?) ?
