We Released the Platform!
With apologies to NASA…the Piper has landed!
That’s right, readers! This is a momentous day: After a somewhat abbreviated beta testing phase, we have officially launched our initial “freemium” model! That’s right, Astroport’s robust compression-based platform is now commercially available and can be downloaded gratis from our website, the Apple Store, the HooliStore, and so on, in the hopes of selling premium services to businesses on top of that, at a somewhat later date. Huzzah!
I must say, it has been a rollercoaster ride up this point. Astroport has been menaced by lawsuits, city zoning inspectors, bad press, short-sighted “professional” CEOs, money problems, the incompetence of prepubescent cloud experts, fire and so on. I personally have been threatened in various ways by Gilfoyle, Erlich and anonymous voice messages from would-be assailants who in fact turned out to also be Gilfoyle and Erlich, having some fun at my expense.
And still we rise! Astroport’s future is so bright, one should avoid looking directly at it for prolonged periods, for fear of damaging the eyes! It is too soon to consider what I might do with my share of the billions we may soon be worth, but my blue button-down shirt is getting a bit worn at the elbows…and I have been thinking of going “non-iron”! Wheeeee!
I meant Monica, not “Amanda.”
I’m really frustrated that Amanda didn’t expressly share her thoughts with Richard. This platform roll-out could have used some valuable feedback from a non-engineer perspective. While Hooli doesn’t have the technology or great minds to compete at this point, they would have done the end-user feedback research that is needed, and they are still a threat. I hope Amanda learns to share her thoughts more precisely in order to make Astroport what it should be. Astroport should have engaged focus groups before launching. Amanda should have made that clear. It was cringeworthy to watch her not do so.
Oops. I meant Monica, not Amanda.
Oops. Monica, not “Amanda.”
The beta f**cking rocks! Jared is definitely f**cking with that pied piper jacket on!
Your link to the freemiun should be available in your blog
We want to integrate Astroport with our app suite, so we want to know when the REST APIs and docs will be available for subcribers/licensees?
This sounds great, I’ve been excited for a while to experience…but where do I download the client?
Testing the wifi from the garage.
it really works?
Can Astroport tell me why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
You guys are amazing!
I’m a big fan of Gilfoyle!!!
And Jared is so sweet!
Well done Richard!

Erlich, you are not my baby.
You guys need a UX / UI Designer, ASAP… Lol ?
I love how the image used within this post is 18MB. Very clever!
How to get bete?
Hi, can I have access to the beta? I promise I’m not working for Hooli
Just leaving a comment because I love the show.
