Why we're building Point in public

Most software companies launch with a big-bang announcement, a wall of logos, and numbers nobody can verify. We're doing the opposite.

Why build in public?

Three reasons:

1. Trust is the product. An ERP holds a business's money data — sales, payroll, taxes. Nobody hands that to a company they don't trust. Marketing copy doesn't build trust; showing your work does.

2. Better feedback, earlier. When future users watch features take shape, they tell you what's wrong while it's still cheap to fix. A poll on our homepage literally decides what we build next.

3. Accountability. Saying things in public keeps us honest. If we claim a feature ships in Q2, you'll know if it doesn't.

What "in public" actually means for us

• Real numbers. Our waitlist counter shows the actual count — including zero, when that's what it is.
• Real roadmap. The feature poll on our homepage isn't decoration. The most-voted features get built first.
• No fake social proof. No invented testimonials, no made-up customer logos, no "1,200+ happy users" we can't back up.
• Honest timelines. "Private beta opens 2026" — not "coming soon" forever, and not a fake countdown timer.

What it doesn't mean

Building in public doesn't mean sharing everything. Customer data stays private, security details stay quiet until fixed, and some business decisions stay internal. Transparency is a tool, not a religion.

The ask

If this approach resonates — software built honestly, priced fairly ($9.99/month, no games), shaped by the people who'll use it — join the waitlist. You'll watch it happen, and you'll get founding-member pricing for being early.
