We use growthbook and love it. In what ways do you differ?

Hey, awesome that you use Growthbook. They seem to be doing an amazing job on the data and analytics space tied to A/B testing and feature flagging.

Our perspective differs from Growthbook's in that we don't want to replace your analytics source of truth in any way. Product analytics has come a long way in the last few years with a lot of truly amazing players like Mixpanel, Amplitude, Looker or almost countless others.

Our core focus is developers and the developer experience.

What that means is that we're trying to avoid adding features and functionalities that would be directly competitive to analytics providers, and instead be better at integrating with those tools, so you can manage your flags in DevCycle and do your flag and experiment analysis directly in your team's source of truth.

At the moment what this means for our product roadmap is that we're working on things like a feature rich CLI, Typescript enhancements, automatic code cleanup, etc and we're hoping to continue to head down the road of developer experience as opposed to building non-developer tooling.
