Reminds me of the GDM robots! I'm super excited about getting to play with one soon!

I think engineers would be better at sales if they were better customers.

Congrats on launching! Curious how early the Mastra team thinks people should be thinking about evals and setting up a pipeline for them.

I could see another tier that comes with 1,0000-10,000 included requests included at 1/10 of the cost being a good idea. Might be really hard for a small startup to support those customers out the gate though!

Less aggressively, pricing is a historically bad way to create urgency in software

This post is a right of passage

I think if EVERY tool you use at work is in the Office suite, teams is just better. If you have any other tools like one off SaaS or devTools, Muddy could be a fit.

Curious what you had in mind?

Yes, the lag is the main problem. Certain distros and setups don’t work with wine. Mine doesn’t, but I’m sure it’s a tractable problem.

Team is a handful, fluctuated over the years but never more than 8.

We’ve always treated everything we do as an experiment. We’re not trying to keep anything alive for the sake of it.

I think we might have more base interfaces (notes, sheets) but we want to encourage people to keep building first class software. All in one is worst of all

You're correct. Don't really need to do anything with your data as well. I will change.

Ty for the catch, correcting now. Seems to be for the invite and update emails?

yup, that's Muddy. One of our users described it as a self healing slack channel with tab groups.

Nothing sophisticated right now unfortunately. But we're planning on releasing a version where all servers, models, and build CI for the app are self-managed. Let me know if that's of interest.

Previous projects of ours include: sail.online nototo.app

This is the first one with real traction and retention, so it's the first time we started to share on HN. Wanted to make sure it was GA and not a waitlist before we came here

Yeah, unfortunately there's no real way to deliver on a consumer experience on top of another browser. Craziest implementation I can think of is writing a MacOS app that's a wrapper, but obvious distribution/compatibility issues there.

Google Wave for the web has been one of the more popular ways to describe Muddy. I didn't see it at first, but I'll take it :)
