I think there's a trap that hits founders: "What do you have to do before you build your unique idea?"

Well you need to setup boilerplate, buy a CRM, buy an email marketing tool, etc. and like 30% of companies think "oh this kind of sucks" and make one of those steps their company.

Nothing against the project but certainly one of those.

In particular I think it overestimates then pain they solve and underestimates both modern frameworks eg. T3 stack, and in particular how difficult getting something through enterprise procurement.

I can't imagine it being easier to get this bought than to do that stuff yourself, particularly when it makes you look bad as a dev to need help with the basics.

Thanks for mentioning this, but it's definitely not what we're trying to achieve.

We may have underplayed a little, only because we have existing users already finding value with our current setup.

The goal is more like v0.dev, where with a prompt, you can generate your entire internal tool. We think we're not too far away from this (as shown in the YouTube demo).

That's a better description and a better goal
