That girl sounds like a horrible person who will probably end up alone herself for being so damn shallow. People like that are great learning experiences on the type of person you don't want to be.

Yes programmers do have girlfriends and yes they can be distracting and by god that's a great thing to have! Moving from that point in life where you are focused on just one self orientated thing to caring about another and growing as a person is marvellous.

I constantly aim to find distractions from work, also known as having a life :)

Either

(a) Teach a new english word each day.

(b) advertise yourself/services

(c) Read a storey

8 months = ~243 days = ~1 hour of reading you could do, maybe a public domain short story

Unless I missed something there is no mention of why you want to rewrite/alter your system?

- Is it for cost?

- Reliability?

- Scratch a tech itch?

- Not flexible enough for future needs?

As obviously that will affect a lot of decisions

Hi, thanks for the response.

Part of my issue with your pricing strategy is that the way it is set out seems to almost go against the reason for (me) using a third party for user management, what I mean is that I just want users to be users, I don't care if they log in with social or enterprise etc, having to think about my user breakdown in that way is extra hassle and analysis that I really don't want to have to do. The more dials and knobs I have to think about for users the more complicated it gets for me. i.e. 'ok I use this plan if I have this many social users, but this plan if my users are enterprise users or this plan if etc'. And its kinda hard to tell what my user base will be until they turn up :/

Honestly ideally I want a 'dial' (or maybe 2 dials ,apps and users or whatever), whether that's API calls, unique users per month or whatever, I just want to easily know if I get <X> visitors then how much will it cost me.

I had to sit and think when I looked at your pricing page....I was trying to avoid doing that by throwing money at the problem :)

Hope that makes sense,

Paul

yeah I just seem to find number of API call to be more expressive to think about, but that might be because I'm a dev and think in that way. Also knowing I can easily buy more API calls enables me to make a nice graph of predicated costs which logically increases with number of users rather than having to jump up a tier of pricing.
