I have been keeping an eye on HomeByte since its launch. And let me just say, I'm impressed. You guys have been ahead of the curve from the get-go. With your Reimagine feature, you're taking it to a whole new level. As someone who's been tracking your progress, I have to say, the transformations are nothing short of remarkable. It's like having your own personal interior designer in your pocket.


How did you arrive on that pricing?


We want this to be affordable for new businesses - people who aren't willing to commit to $30/month when first setting up. It shouldn't be a painful decision to decide whether or not to get started. We hope people who want to create an online store have less friction taking the plunge.


Loved the idea, I am a fan of using spreadsheets to make things easier for the end user.

You might want to think about a next tier, and grow with your larger customers. I get the point that you want to make it easy to start off with, but you also want to attract larger users (who have their own domain).

There is no harm in a "coming soon" higher tier.

Also showcase the process of setting up a store, basically how easy it is via Spry, just add products to a sheet to get started, I think you can do it in a 30 second video too.


All fair points. Showing a "coming soon" tier for larger customers would show the direction we'd like to go and a video would drive home the simplicity. Appreciate it.


"Unfortunately you're not in the market you think you're in -- you're in the market your users think you're in." This is so simple but easy to miss advice.

A team of biochemists found this. They have a very scientific approach and you should check out the kind of teams they have.


White Labs is not a startup: they've been providing liquid yeasts (to home brewers and breweries) for a fairly long time.

Chris White, of White Labs, wrote a great book on yeast:
