      for Nick Kishfy:

      I'd be curious what you think of Balanced's product development strategy:

      We have an undisputed product leader (our CEO), but we got so much demand for a feature (ACH debits) that we built it, not exactly as our customers wanted, and after originally telling them know. Essentially, we used an issues thread and a public repo on Github to test our assumptions with our developer community. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. You can read the whole thing here: https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/2

      I also left this comment on the original blog post: http://blog.mojotech.com/post/44224044723/more-features-wont-save-your-product#comment-815923080
