> Despite how crucial it is, it's hard to find a service that has all the features you need for a successful product.

> That's why we built Stack.

I’m not convinced this is a strong USP. One could make a decent argument “Stack” doesn’t have “all” the features (yet) - I’ve seen the roadmap.

Firebase, Superbase etc. arguably have more features.

In a nutshell, I think it might be better to have that paragraph really drive home the USP of the product e.g., open source accountability, fairer pricing model etc.

Those are strong tells, instead of the “all the features” narrative. That’s a hard battle to win :)

Regardless, awesome work! And congrats on the launch




Appreciate the feedback! You're totally right, that paragraph is a bit of a mix of what we want it to be down the line (when it's feature-complete for enterprise) and what we have right now (which should be enough for startups, especially B2C, but not everyone).

I've edited the paragraph a little to reflect that. Hopefully, at some point in the future we can really say "all the features" ;)

In the end, you've recognized correctly that we see ourselves as an open-source company first and foremost.


No qualms! Congrats on the launch again
