We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous.

I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers.

Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation.

There could be tweaks here and there. For example, instead of going to one main function to do this and another main function to do that, the solution could remap the user interface so that a person only has to go through one function. The way that function branches off should make a bit more sense.

There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map.

I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems.
