It’s been a while since we started to develop Amio platform to help developers, SaaS companies and brands implement different messaging platforms into their software, build bots or just optimise costs for SMS they’re sending. We’ve worked with banks, help-desk companies, delivery companies and also with single developers to fine tune our API.
Our ultimate goal is to make your development as easy as possible not just with clear API but also with extensive documentation full of examples, tools you need, integrations and message logs to see whats happening in all conversations.
Today, we’re officially launching our platform. We would be more than happy if you try our service and provide us with any feedback. Looking forward for what you will build!
Here is a super useful article about how you should build login https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-god-login/ (if you don't want to rely on professionals from Auth0 or Okta :-). In the article, there is a very good statement "being user friendly is way more important than being secure" and this is exactly this case also...
However this looks as a duplicate to official api network https://www.getpostman.com/api-network/ to me (as mentioned below). On the other hand, I like that you can share your collections, rate them and have a discussion. But what if Postman team decides for the same? :-)
Recently, I spoke to a guy who was working in IT department of one telco company and he told me that they did analysis on which platform (Facebook Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp) is mostly used based on number of data which flew through their infrastructure.
I think regulations of big players is what small businesses and end users can profit of, definitely.
That's exactly what's happening to me as well. I think it shows a battery percentage based on (old) current voltage which dramatically decreases with low temperature, i.e. when you pull your phone from warm pocket in cold weather.
I think that the market will decide. It will be a balance between few major things like: price, range, efficiency, safety and fancyness (cars are more emotional than rational :-).
Depends; in my country there were / are significant cost / tax benefits for getting hybrid and fully electric cars (for lease cars, and there's quite a lot of those here). If driving an electric car is cheaper then people will go for that too. Does Tesla still do free usage of the supercharger network for the Model S? That's another incentive, given the cost of electricity over time.
Landwind X7 have 90% look of Land Rover Evoque though. It would probably have crapy engine, interior ..,, but my point is that chinese cars are definitely improving.
Even Chinese prefer foreign brands to domestic ones (if they can afford it) even though almost all of those are made in china under 51-49 JVs. I’ve personally never been impressed by a chinese car that wasn’t an outright clone, well maybe those new BYD electric taxis running Beijing.
A friend of mine worked a contract with JAC once to help them...design the info-tainment system for their upbrand Audi A5 compete, which involved copying Audi’s system as much as possible then parring it back because they weren’t willing to use high end hardware in it.
Oddly enough, I feel American brands are more popular in china than in America. Buik for example. Some of my coworkers at Ms china even drove Fords, something that wouldn’t happen easily in Redmond.
I like that it is online. Often, when you need a quick sketch for your presentation or colleges, you don't want to open a desktop tool (you might not even have).
I would appreciate drag-able interface on the right (I know it is hard but it would definitely be a plus).
Connect a git repo or gist would be also nice.
I've also seen integrations to Google Drive where you can store it as a document.
Do you have any further plans with this tool? Cover more UML diagrams and so.
Thanks for the feedback! Diagram is not drag-able but support inline editing with double click. Google Drive integration is in the works. Gitbook plugin available: https://plugins.gitbook.com/plugin/swimlanes-io. Had the initial ambition to support flowcharts but want to ace sequence diagrams first
Then love it and wait for improvements. ;-) I think they will implement something on top of MySQL. And every-time you can ask startup for different pricing model am pretty sure they will be very flexible with it.
Indeed, we do have plans to support nosql in the next few months. Our Pricing for nosql will be really different and a lot lower for the storage. We started with relational db first because a lot of developers have existing skills with RDB and it was requested by ALL our beta testers.
Our platform is a fully automated system with high availability & zero maintenance required. So you don't have to setup a RDS box + front end server for the api + load balancer + .... maintain / update all that stack.
And YES, we are very flexible and open to suggestions related to our pricing
This is also why we posted here, to get valuable suggestions and comments :)
