Got laid off, discovered competitors

I work at Intercom, you've probably heard of them. Unfortunately, I've been laid off after my department was moved to Dublin and I did not want to relocate. They've given me ample notice and severance, so I have plenty of time to find a new job. I'm reluctant to find another job immediately, so I will likely take a couple months trying to finally ship ISO Hero in some form and charge a bit for it.

Related to my layoff, my options became a little more complicated and I realized that ISO Hero is missing some features to be usable for myself. I'll be adding those features and solving my own problem soon.

I also found a couple VC backed companies that are building the same tools as I am. On the one hand, I'm a little discouraged since they have built a form of the tools that are free. On the other hand, their tools don't work for my situation and they validated the problem to solve for.
