This looks nicely polished and I might pay for this since it provides some real value but it has the same problem many other front-end SaaS products have - it hijacks the end user.
What I mean is that I can't use it without sending my users to your site. For example, I use sendgrid for marketing and transactional mail. I think our bill fluctuates between $200-500/month. I would consider using Sendgrid's WYSIWYG editor (even though it's not very good) but I can't do it without:
What I would like from a product like yours is to be able to use your frontend as a javascript embed without the other clutter. i.e. a hosted library rather than a full product.
Your embed would have to define some sort of plug-in API for uploading images/attachments and browsing existing ones and then your clients would have to provide end points for those APIs.
I would then request the completed HTML after editing and handle all the sending and related issues myself (through my vendor like sendgrid).
I know building hosted javascript embeds isn't as sexy as a full SaaS offering but there is definitely a market for it. Lots of people sell products that send email - you could sell to those people.
Fine. Perhaps I shouldn't have said any nation, but Afghanistan is not a modern nation state. It's a time warp back to some era 1000 years ago with poorly run government theater that only existed to keep the kleptocrats stealing from their wealthy benefactor.
Do you imagine some well armed coalition of militias in Idaho or wherever is going to be rampaging through the American countryside and declaring a new nation? I wonder if these guys hugged their rifles in their last moments: https://youtu.be/t9K0fhMCTGk?t=102 NSFW
What's admirable about it? This is just a fiction that you Americans tell yourselves about the next revolution.
Name one, just one way, that ease of gun ownership has protected Americans from their government in a way that citizens of other western democracies have suffered?
There is no scenario in which any citizen with a gun in any country defeats their government. Your gun will keep you safe about as well as your password protected Word document keeps you safe from the NSA snooping.
I don't know anything about the situation over there but did they really ban it? For example this bloomberg report talks about foreign ownership via holding companies. So are foreigners not able to hold stakes in NZ companies or are NZ companies not able to hold realestate (doubtful?).
I'm really like this combined side scrolling table + graph component you use on the pulse page. Looking at the source I see a mention of echarts in the html but I don't think I've seen anything like that in their examples.
Did you build this yourself as a custom rendered chart or is this something that someone else built?
This is a bit of digression on this thread, but it's stuff like this that makes it seem like traditional car companies are still out to lunch vs Tesla. They're just too slow to adapt and give up what has worked for decades.
Price Distribution by Year -- this is an interesting one. Looks like eventually there isn't a huge variance in price. So brands with "good resale value" probably don't matter if you're keeping your car a really long time.
I run a hobby .net core website on a $5 digital ocean instance and it runs fast as hell. You definitively don't need to spend $30. I'm using a PG database but it looks like maybe it would even be possible to run SQL server on a 2GB instance.
This would certainly be convenient, however if your mailing lists contains a lot of old people then they forward your emails to their friends. Their friends who are annoyed by this then unsubscribe the original recipient without noticing that the email was forwarded by their friend.
This is a real problem for us - not a made up scenario. So we remove the auto-filled email on the unsubscribe form.
Is leaving a country really that hard if you have a little money? Seems like something you should be able to do without the assistance of green berets unless you're in a movie.
A country like Japan must have:
1. Dozens of private jets leaving it's airspace daily.
2. Hundreds of fishing boats leaving it territorial waters daily.
You'd think this was just an archaic relic but Bambora payment processing (which hasn't updated their site since uppercase HTML tags and framesets were a thing) has a userdir feature that lets their customers upload static file to their "secure webspace" which is hosted on the same domain for all customers.
As a programmer with no design skills, I maintain a folder of screenshots from various SaaS apps that I find helpful whenever I need inspiration for layouts, information presentation, multi-step interaction breakdowns, widget use, progressive drilling down, etc..
I worked in a large call center and we used VNC to monitor the agents. This worked until one one of them figured out what the VNC tray icon color change meant - which meant they soon all knew what it was.
So I had to do the reverse hack of this guy. Easiest way was just to load up the VS resource editor and change the icon so that it always looked like there was no connection.
That won't work for long. It will start offering suggestions of data that you have previously used on the "discourse" fields.
On our CRM, Chrome is constantly offering to fill in data that I don't need. Or even worse, it will overlap custom autocompletes and input helpers with it's own UI.

I would consider using Sendgrid's WYSIWYG editor (even though it's not very good) but I can't do it without:
- sending my users to their website,
- managing separate accounts/permission,
- breaking continuity with my product,
- storing potentially private attachments offsite,
- loosing any integrations I could provide
