What is “Jackson” - did you rebrand at some point?
I think it’s a Pulp Fiction reference(?) but I spent more time looking that (and the name “Jules Winnfield”) up to try and understand the context then I did reading/parsing the intro!
I don’t mind a bit of humour, but this was a tad confusing…
What are your plans regarding a commercial model for your product (if you can share?)
Edit: also as a bit of feedback; because your website is quite basic at the moment and the only call to action seems to be the big “Contact Us” button, I’m left wondering what stage you’re at and whether you have anything that’s usable now that I can use in production, or if it’s still at a Beta / under-development stage?
If it’s ready to be used, perhaps add a “Get Started” button to the left of the “Contact Us” button as that serves as both a strong call to action and also clearly indicates that you consider the product is ready to use (even if your commercial offering isn’t yet).
If it’s not yet ready, perhaps change that suggested button to a “Keep Me Updated” button with an email signup?
There’s not enough here for me to consider contacting you at this stage… I would either want to try it out, or give you my email so that you can tell me when it’s ready to try out.
I glanced at the GitHub repo but I’m still not really clear if this is a work in progress or it’s ready to go…!
I worked at an SSO Vendor for years, in our early days when we were 20 people we had a whiteboard with funny SAML names.. one of my favorite was King Federate which we abbreviated as K-Fed!
Thank you tailspin2019, it definitely is an interesting day for an SSO product! :)
It is a Pulp Fiction reference but I agree it is confusing. We'll refine the intro and the CTA on the webpage, great feedback.
Our core will always be free (Apache 2.0 license) and our commercials will be based on the following models:
1) A hosted solution in the future
2) Premium features on top of our core (To ease deployment, administration and integrations with Enterprise security products)
3) Vertical specific solutions for regulated industries like Healthcare and Finance.
Thanks I was looking further at GitHub and realise that Jackson and Hermes etc are your product names.
Perhaps you could mention these product names on the marketing site so there is a bit of continuity between that and GitHub/docs?
I like the humour. My instinct would be to either “own” those product names fully and use them boldly throughout, or deemphasise them in favour of your Boxy brand… :)
Looking at the Audit Logs repo introduction, I know this is a reference I’m not getting, but I’m not going to look this one up!!
> A grade 36 Bureaucrat just like Hermes Conrad. Audit logs matters that only a true bureaucrat can handle properly.
Keep up the good work. What you’re doing looks very interesting!!
I am excited by this.
However I got thoroughly confused on the introduction page of your docs:

Just my opinion… for what it’s worth!
