How do you vet a marketer for a native tech product without getting hit with AI fluff?

We’re building NativeOffice — a fast, completely offline Windows office suite built in C++/Qt. Can visit r/nativeoffice for more.

We don't have a marketing person yet, and honestly, we’re terrified of hiring someone who just drops generic, copy-paste SaaS playbooks or AI-generated strategies on us.

How to spot the real deal:

• What core concepts does a marketer have to get right about a niche, local-first product like this?

• When they pitch target audiences or growth channels, how can we test if their plan is actually realistic and genuine?

What are the green or red flags we should look out for so we don't get tricked by fluff?

Since we’re purely technical, we need help knowing how to spot the real deal:

[Python] storage_state() only saving Google cookies even after a manual login and full redirect to my app domain

I am trying to capture an authenticated session using Playwright in Python to reuse across tests.

Because my application uses Google OAuth 2.0, I am handling the login interactively.My script opens a non-headless browser and halts execution using Python’s input().

I manually complete the Google sign-in, the browser successfully redirects back to my application's dashboard (https://myapp.com), and the app is fully authenticated.

I then press Enter to trigger context.storage_state(path="auth.json").

The Problem:

The resulting auth.json file only contains Google-related cookies (.google.com).

It contains absolutely zero cookies or local storage items matching my actual application's domain (myapp.com), even though the page is fully loaded and authenticated right in front of me.

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:

browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)

context = browser.new_context()

page = context.new_page()

page.goto("https://myapp.com")

input("Log in manually. Once on the dashboard, press Enter here...")

# Only captures Google cookies, completely misses my app domain state

context.storage_state(path="auth.json")

browser.close()

Questions:

Why would storage_state() completely disregard the active domain's cookies/storage after a successful manual OAuth redirect?

If my app uses sessionStorage (which Playwright doesn't natively serialize), what is the cleanest way to manually extract and save it via Python?
