I’d recommend both; folks who want to use the API natively can, but those who are going to use Zapier can rely on the integration. You’ll need the API endpoint regardless for the Zapier integration.

I propose that having the ability to manage clients and quotes through an API would be a powerful feature. If you’re worried about rapid iteration and backwards compatibility, remember to version your API route(s), and use a sub domain so you can scale out the API easily in the future independently of other app components. Consider firing off web hooks for any events that your customers would want action taken on faster than polling your API could support.

Congrats on the launch!!

Thanks a lot for the ideas, too. If you want to hear about the progress you can simply just register (we'll probably send a weekly mail) or follow me (@hkanaktas) or Dytto's account (@dyttoco) on Twitter.

Thanks! To be honest this isn't even a launch lol. I was just trying to find a few potential customers and ask for feedback. Now I have a lot of potential customers, and a lot of conversations to make.
