I think there's so much truth to UX being king, especially for tight-knit forward-thinking teams. However, these products always seem to ignore heavy use cases common in large orgs. Like lots of records and nuanced permissions that really fit business rules. I started from that direction with https://www.cloudternal.com (and will have a great UX eventually too!).

Looks great! I just singed up for early access. I'm currently helping a company choose a CRM. We went with Salesforce but I'd love to find a cheaper alternative. However it doesn't seem you can create automation within your product. Unless I'm mistaken?

We don't currently have automation, but we plan on having it ready either Q3 or Q4 this year (we might do mobile first, it depends on demand). Thanks for signing up, we'll reach out to you soon!

Curious - what made you go with Salesforce?

Mainly it's what I'm familiar with. But I did try and use other CRM's (including SuiteCRM, Airtable and a few others) and didn't find the important combination of:

1) Modern UI's I didn't need to write myself

2) Automation with and transactional atomic write guarantees

3) An extensible and scalable sharing model

Although I didn't try dynamics. I'm guessing it's a suitable alternative.
