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 :)

That's the general idea. We found that if you break down the average team's project slack channels, it's a bunch of urls and threads about them. Just wanted to make that experience simple!

We have Ubuntu and Fedora users through Wine. Not ideal I know, but enough to try out unless you have a super custom Arch setup

Most of the stuff we do that people seem to really like can't be technically or physically done inside of another browser's tab unfortunately. Chrome extensions are too limiting as well. We started off as a chrome extension inside of our previous company, and hit a wall pretty quickly.

For the LLM calls, the one's you currently see are patching calls to a variety of model providers. As long as they hold their end of the TOS you should be fine. Everything else is happening locally.

We will launch a self-host option for Muddy. Cool features like hosting the servers and build process yourself, custom icon and skin on the app, and other internal rules you can set up. Let me know if that's of interest.

You can actually check out all the material from the pivots inside the app. There's a walkthrough in the Getting Started space when you first set up.

I can't say we haven't heard that. Surprisingly, it's usually more of a TL or most Senior Eng who seems to like those presence features. A lot less cat herding across apps for them.

We have less traction with PMs. Most of the feedback from them implies they like being bombarded with Slack notifications even if they say they don't.

Not yet, in the pipeline. Depending on your distro (Ubuntu and Fedora) have users through Wine.

Fairly sure that Notion and Roam are both YC rejections. While Roam isn't quite at the same level, Notion is a healthy business at venture scale, a meaningful miss to the YC portfolio.

Crazy to see a Clinkle demo 8 years late

nice read neel
