Hey Jack!
Thanks for taking the time to check out codebird and give me feedback!

I can definitely see the value add of working locally and it might be something to add in the future. While developers are a target customer I think a bigger painpoint can be solved is to enable non technical team members being able to make product changes. I need to connect to github to allow the previous to happen without a local dev environment.

Also does it work with modern front-end frameworks? Such as Vue and with static framework like Gridsome or Gatsby.

Yes it should work with any website stored in github without any codebase changes

Hey Nikolai!

Is the idea clear? If not, what confused you?
- probably not best to give people other context here if you want to know whether the idea is clear. I think it was clear.
Does it invite you to join the journey?
- yes its welcoming. Although as an engineer who has been building saas for a couple years now it didn't interest me enough to signup. Although I have lots to learn and have and do struggle with some difficult decision. I think addressing a difficult choice an engineer can relate to or has had would help make it have a stronger value proposition, for example difficulty of doing custom single sign on integrations for customers or which login methods to support.

Currently, I only focus on tech. Are there other topics you think this should cover?
- maybe product, and pragmatic decisions around tech in order to ship faster at the start before scaling/perf/etc are a concern. How can I get 80% of the way there with 20% of the effort? Maybe devtooling?

Its a bit of a blocker so I decided to pick postmark for now. Thanks for the suggestions! It might even have a free tier for low volume where im at now. mailchimp was starting at 20$ per month, postmark 10$ for transactional emails

That's what I was about to suggest, I've been using Postmark for 2 years and I'm very happy with it.

Looks good stephan, can definitely see the need. I think the text could be shorter and more to the point. Im not sure whether your initial target audience "entrepreneurs without coding skills" is going to know what a BaaS is though

I think the features section has too much text. I would recommend reducing the amount of text or making the secondary text lighter
