为什么资料从托管变成非托管_推出新产品-从自托管到SaaS

为什么资料从托管变成非托管

Today our first product Perch will be nine years old, and perhaps rather neatly - although it wasn’t planned this way - we declared our new product out of beta this week. May just appears to be shipping month around here.

今天，我们的第一款产品Perch已有 9年的历史了，也许还很整洁-尽管并非如此，但我们本周宣布了我们的新产品脱离beta版本。 可能似乎是这里的出货月份。

Notist is the slide-sharing, presenter portfolio application that I needed, however as we come out of beta it has already started to become the application that other people want. We’ve had an almost overwhelming number of feature requests and enhancement ideas as people have started to use the application, these are all very much welcome, and many have been added already.

Notist是我需要的幻灯片共享演示者投资组合应用程序，但是当我们脱离beta版本时，它已经开始成为其他人想要的应用程序。 随着人们开始使用该应用程序，我们已经收到了几乎不计其数的功能请求和增强功能，这些功能都非常受欢迎，并且已经添加了许多功能。

我们的第一个SaaS (Our first SaaS)

With a product that is nine years old, we are no strangers to running a product business, but Notist is different. Perch and Perch Runway are self hosted, one-off purchases. People buy a license and off they go. Notist is our first Software as a Service (SaaS) application. While this does bring with it the challenge of hosting your data, it does remove many of the frustrations of a product which you don’t host. The majority of our support with Perch has absolutely nothing to do with our product. Instead we deal with terrible server configurations, on PHP hosts who do not care that they are broken. We can’t use the latest PHP versions, because those hosts won’t update. We increasingly deal with vanishing web designers who leave their clients in the lurch without the access details of their own site and hosting. Those clients end up coming to us, and we have very little that we can do to help them.

拥有9年历史的产品，我们对经营产品业务并不陌生，但Notist却与众不同。 Perch和Perch Runway是自托管的一次性购买。 人们购买许可证然后离开。 Notist是我们的第一个软件即服务（SaaS）应用程序。 尽管这确实带来了托管数据的挑战，但确实消除了您没有托管的产品的许多麻烦。 我们对Perch的大部分支持与我们的产品完全无关。 相反，我们在不关心它们已损坏PHP主机上处理可怕的服务器配置。 我们无法使用最新PHP版本，因为这些主机不会更新。 我们越来越多地与消失的Web设计师打交道，他们将客户置于困境，却没有他们自己网站和主机的访问详细信息。 那些客户最终来到我们这里，而我们却无能为力。

I’m sure that in the land of the SaaS there will be different challenges and frustrations, but that is part of the fun. We know what it is to sell and support a one-off licensed, downloadable product, it’s interesting to do something else as well. I’m sure that we’ll learn things running Notist that transfer back to Perch too.

我敢肯定，在SaaS领域，将会有不同的挑战和挫败感，但这是乐趣的一部分。 我们知道销售和支持一次性许可的可下载产品是什么，做其他事情也很有趣。 我敢肯定，我们还将学习运行Notist的东西，这些东西也会转移回Perch。

我们对公关人员的优先考虑 (Our priorities for Notist)

There are many things we’d love to be doing with Notist, we’re bootstrapping however, and also have Perch to support so we need to be savvy with our time. Bootstrapping means we have little to no money to throw around, but as we already know, it brings great advantages in that the only people we need to consider are our customers aligned with our values as a company. No-one is pressing for fast growth and a quick return here.

我们很想与Notist一起做很多事情，但是我们正在引导自己，并且还需要Perch的支持，因此我们需要精打细算。 自举意味着我们几乎没有钱可扔，但众所周知 ，它带来了巨大的优势，因为我们唯一需要考虑的人就是我们的客户与我们的公司价值观保持一致。 没有人迫切需要快速增长和快速回报。

We will focus on the things that we think most important. That’s why, with all the feedback we’ve received in the past few weeks, making improvements to accessibility has been a focus. We’d rather get our existing features to work well for more people before we add new ones. We also know that existing slide sharing solutions often perform poorly in terms of accessibility, both in terms of allowing users to add slides, and for those wanting to view them. We’d like to be different, and I think we’ve made in the last couple of weeks great strides towards that. It will be an ongoing process, and we are very grateful to those of you who have shared your expertise with us.

我们将专注于我们认为最重要的事情。 这就是为什么在过去几周内收到的所有反馈中，改善可访问性一直是重点。 在添加新功能之前，我们宁愿让现有功能对更多人有效。 我们还知道，现有的幻灯片共享解决方案在可访问性方面通常表现不佳，无论是在允许用户添加幻灯片还是在希望查看幻灯片的用户。 我们希望与众不同，而且我认为在过去的几周中我们已经取得了长足的进步。 这将是一个持续的过程，对于与我们分享您的专业知识的人们，我们深表感谢。

You can read about some of the things we have planned in our blog post. You can also take a look at some of my presentations on Notist. I’m especially pleased with the video page, which I’m slowly backfilling with data from years gone by!

您可以在我们的博客文章中阅读有关我们计划的一些内容。 您也可以看一下我在Notist上的一些演讲 。 我对视频页面特别满意，我正在慢慢补充过去几年的数据！

If you speak at conferences and haven’t tried out Notist yet, I would love for you to give it a go. We do have a free tier for those of you who perhaps present at a meet up or two a year and can’t justify paying for a tool to create a portfolio. If you are part of any groups for public speaking, or know people who speak then please do spread the word. We have lots of interesting and useful ideas planned, in addition to looking into the features already requested. As bootstrappers, how much time we get to work on those really does come down to how many people are using the product.

如果您在会议上发言并且还没有尝试过Notist，那么我希望您能尝试一下。 我们确实为那些可能每年参加一两次聚会而又无法证明为创建投资组合的工具付费的人提供免费服务。 如果您是任何公开演讲团体的成员，或者认识发表演讲的人，那么请传播这个词。 除了研究已经要求的功能之外，我们还计划了许多有趣且有用的想法。 作为引导者，我们花在这些上的真正时间确实取决于使用该产品的人数。
