Co-founder here, happy to answer any questions. There is so much to do in this space, but we’re excited to be getting started.&lt;p&gt;No engineer wakes up in the morning excited to sync data to Marketo, so we started there - `npm install` and so you can get back to building the core product. We make data self-serve for your non-technical colleagues and we handle all the exhausting integration stuff you don’t want to think about (API nuances, rate limiting, retrying, batching, etc).</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>mariushn</author><text>First, thanks for providing the `npm install` way to run it. Too many apps require Docker and that&amp;#x27;s it.&lt;p&gt;Question: Could we use Grouparoo to replace mixpanel? Would we need to build the client side to collect events and dump that into Grouparoo?</text></comment>

Very few do real two-way sync. Is Grouparoo designed for that?</text></comment>
