Product quality, especially with 1Password8 has deteriorated significantly. A big bag refactor to electron with no telemetry is probably the root cause. Not necessarily poor strategy, but certainly poor execution.

Telemetry is actually a good thing for 1Password users who see product quality decreasing bc it gives the PMs there some information to go off. The product surface area is huge now, and it's natural to lose sight of the most important stuff.

If I was in charge, what would I do?

1. Introduce telemetry and get data into hands of PMs + Designers

2. Pause all new feature development until table stakes features are working flawlessly: 1Password opens under 200ms for most users; auto fill in Chrome + Firefox actually F*king works like it used to before v8.

3. Trim down product surface area by killing features. E.g. decide is the default UX for auto-fill based on interacting with a button inside form inputs OR simply hitting the keyboard shortcut to autofill? Kill the other bc the interaction between these choices is painful.

I'll give them a year to figure this out. In the meantime, a Copilot / ChaptGPT enabled bootstrap founder will come along and build out a trimmed down version with just the basics and start eating their lunch.

GTM is the hardest but mostly through referrals / word of mouth. I want to do more Twitter/LI ads.

It's a simple keyboard-first electron app that hooks up with your Google / Outlook cal. Target market is folks who schedule meetings outside their org like founders, CSM, biz dev, sales, EAs, etc.

E.g. Do any of these times (CT) work for you?

April 13 (Thursday) * 3:30 pm - 4:00 pm

April 14 (Friday) * 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Anyone know technically under the hood, how this particular formula is created by ChatGPT?

Backend

- Auth: stytch

- DB: Postgres in RDS (moving to Railway)

- Api: Node on Heroku (moving to Railway)

- Images: Fire Store (ugh. Maybe move to Cloudflare images)

Front end

- SPA: React served by Heroku (moving to Railway)

This specifically is such a dig against plaid’s obfuscated permissions model.

“ Before linking an account, users can see: What types of data they’re sharing Who can access their data How to disconnect an account

Couple plausible options

- they aren't profitable but have huge transaction volume - international growth - new product development

Thoughts?

This is my first post on HN, looking forward to feedback.

This is my evaluation of hypermedia API design from the perspective of a business leader. What business value can be gained from incorporating hypermedia and what are the drawbacks to such a system?
