I'm slightly confused about what this product does. From what I could gather, you have a central auth-hub, that gives one integration point to a multitude of OAuth services (Facebook, Twitter etc.), which makes integration easier for developers. But then you have an analytics/crm system built on top of that? It seems very potent, but also slightly scary in the sense that your platform has a huge lock-in. Am I understanding this right?


It appears we've confused just about everyone with our new homepage. :)

Yes, we sit between you and your oauth providers. This makes it easier to manage many oauth providers, because you just call us and we take care of the differences in their APIs.

On top of that, we build a dashboard for you that contains all of the user info we've seen and tie it to events on your site.

There is no lock-in. To migrate away, you simply send users directly to the OAuth provider, instead of using us as a proxy. Your users will not notice a difference either way.


Very interesting. If it were me I would create plugins for the major CMSs that embed your solution in a dashboard page.

Try to eliminate as much friction as possible.

Have you consider email delivery options for the data?


Yeah, we'd like to get Wordpress out first. Perhaps Drupal and MediaWiki after that. Let me know if there's something else you were thinking of.

By email, do you mean like a weekly summary?


I personally enjoyed the demo/example, but I know others will probably be more motivated by a singular focused call to action (eg, a landing page that is less busy).

Good Luck.


This is the kind of product that would benefit from having a video on the landing page. Thirty seconds max.

Also, test the pricing from $25 to $24.99 or $29.99.


This is nice. Are you using a framework for this tour or is that custom?



This looks like a product that is trying to do/show too much.

The 1 API for 12 OAuth providers, by itself sounds like a killer feature, and a product all by itself.
