News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

We thought that the onboarding flow should take you through the product first, where the docs is readily available. In hindsight, making the docs more publicly available makes sense.

Here is the docs: https://airship.readme.io/v1.0/docs. We'll also link them in our home page in the next iteration.

We will be reaching out to you shortly to get your questions answered. Thanks for the feedback!
A video sound like a great idea. We'll look into it!
Right now, we're working with each each company, even small ones, to find out the right price point for them. If you have any questions on pricing, email us at [email protected]
I'd also add that what we're interested in is not just feature flags, but the use of feature flags for A/B testing - which translates to a few key differences in how you build and optimize the product.

A few things:

1. More sophisticated targeting; i.e., different types of objects, combinations of attributes, and groups.

2. Airship's pricing model is aligned with customers' incentive to grow. Our architecture emphasizes local computation, so performance and cost scale very well (better than things like MAUs) - savings that we pass onto customers.

3. Airship will integrate with existing analytics tools (like Segment) so you have A/B testing capabilities without doing set up work. You can even set up an A/B test retroactively (after the feature has shipped), because Airship can annotate the events & metrics you already track.

4. Airship focuses on non-engineering teams as well (PM, Data, Growth), and making the dashboard intuitive for those use cases.

You might also remember when Digg launched a redesign in 2010 that caused a 30+% dip in...
