Seeing the Journalist team building their platform was part of the inspiration behind StakeWeb. Knowing it was possible to programmatically create content towards a specific purpose, at scale, was a game-changer. An incredible product!
I come from the customer service / success world and I turned my nose up at Senja when I first heard of it. "Oh I already GET reviews and testimonials". I was happily proven wrong when I actually tried them out. What sealed the deal was they imported my brand logo and coloring to make the form, which took the pain entirely out for me (not a designer!)
My team recommended Vercel and it's been a great choice so far. The performance metrics are great, it works perfectly for our use case. I've heard some stories about usage caps so I've set those for any unexpected headaches :)
We use Resend for all our emails to customers. Nothing is more frustrating than slow / low deliverability emails - especially for things like signing in and so far couldn't be happier with the performance and flexibility.
Plausible is handling all of our page stats and link tracking. We're thrilled with their API and security, ease of use, and scalability for what we're building. They came highly recommended and it's easy to see why. Super easy to use!
