It'd be interesting to hear about some example integrations / extensions / thins people might create in the future?

E.g. a Disqus alternative? Or maybe an Excel spreadsheet (sort of embedded in the main page?) ?

(PS. Minor: This image is 3.8 MB, took a while to load: https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/011fa185757dd5ea3e9e9f... — if it's smaller, the whole page will look faster, giving a better impression of the website & integration software.)

I kind of understand what it tries to accomplish but more examples on the homepage would help. E.g. "Rapidly meet prospects' unique requirements" could be followed by a specific example.

Hey, Im the CTO & Co-founder of ExtenduS. That's great feedback, we are on it! Thanks!

Will users be aware that they are "running" in extendus? I mean does it feel like a plugin(=intercom)?

Hey, Im the CTO & Co-founder of ExtenduS. Not that much, we are aiming for the product to be fully embeddable in your SaaS, just like Auth0, Stripe, Disqus.

this looks cool, but what if a user messes up my database? how does it work?

Hey, Im the CTO & Co-founder of ExtenduS. The product is multi-tenant, your users are isolated from one to another and from your SaaS product.

I don't understand. Say, I'm a user, I want to implement an extension to reply another user's comment automatically. To do that, I need to access the database of user comments. And then I mistakenly remove all comments from the other user?

At the moment users can only customize their own account. In the future a user can install an app in their account that was build by a developer, but the app will only have access to the user account.
