Self-promotion warning, but this is a honest take on what's been working for us and how we run recruiting.

I would love to get your thoughts on what's working for you.

We definitely have a lot of work to do when it comes to marketing. One key challenge is tailoring the massage to the audience. While the HN audience would understand transforming web content and understand the value in it, most support reps won't. One thing we're working on is different landing pages for different functions. That should allow us to highlight benefits that are relevant for the audience.
We charge a subscription fee for advanced features and increased usage (more snippets).

Thanks for the feedback. We'll look into it asap
