No problem. Good luck with the new service.

Oh yeah - thinking back to consulting work - something that let me "make a beautiful spec and share it" would have felt like a one-time-use service. Subscribe for a month, make a spec, take the learnings and add it to my own Word template.

The problem I mentioned (collaborative spec maintenance) is something that I know I'd pay for as a subscription - specifically because it helps me manage something for the ongoing health of our products. It becomes more core.

The only downside is that a solution more aligned to infrastructure costs (as I have suggested) can't command as high a price premium as something that is aligned to revenue (i.e. help me rationalize/explain higher estimates to customers).

We're not planning on stopping at "make a beautiful spec and share it" - we are building a tool that ease the pain of writing and collaborating on specs - with your clients and/or team.

Your feedback however is very valuable - since the product is still in its infancy (heck we haven't launched yet) and knowing we love to iterate a lot and based on real world findings - this is this kind of feedback that will help us shape the product.

So again - thanks a lot!
