A unified platform for product teams to announce updates, maintain a changelog, share roadmaps, provide help documentation and collect feedback with the help of AI.
My goal is to help product teams tell users about new features (so they actually use them), gather meaningful feedback (so they build the right things), share plans (so users know what's coming), and provide help (so users don't get stuck).

It is a bundled payment gateway+merchant. You don't have to get PCI compliant and you don't need a merchant account (no min transaction volumes, fight chargebacks for you etc).
The down side is they only offer hosted payment pages and not suitable for everything... You need a finite set of goods/services you want to sell (eg monthly plans). You can't automate the process if you're building an online store where your customers can upload items for sale (eg AppStore).
I built the site using the PlayFramework (Java). I'd say it is as rad as Rails, Django, Grails etc and for me much more pleasurable to code in. Who says Java is clunky and deprecated?
The last time I started to register I read the terms and they wanted me to bind myself to terms that they could unilaterally alter and still bind me!
I sent them a note and received a nice phone call from a person that assured me they would never do that. Very impressive customer service, but thank you, no.
To be fair, this was probably 10 years ago and they may have a new policy.
I am speculating here, but I suspect it gives them a metric that is in some ways more reliable than just measuring unique IP addresses.
Most likely it is that metric they really want, but if you want to be cynical, they could be selling those addresses without ever sending a single message themselves.
