RealMetrics – Take the vanity out of your metrics
Hello,
I am looking for feedback about a custom tool I developed for my own needs.
RealMetrics helps you track your progress toward goals, seamlessly integrating with apps you use & love.
I am mainly looking for feedback. Anyone else in the world seeing value in such a tool? In my last SaaS, I was importing transactions from Stripe and doing that job in a spreadsheet.
Current solutions provides vanity metrics (MRR, ARR, etc.) that did not helped me scale my business.
So I automated the process and probably went a bit far doing so ;-)

Thanks!
- brudgers 10y agoRequiring a connection to a Stripe account just to pass beyond the landing page seems a bit risky to me because I have no idea what I'm buying or potentially buying or who I would be providing financial data to. My advice: + If it meets the guidelines this might make a good "Show HN". Guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html + Before reposting as a Show HN, consider removing all the friction between potential users and the tool. + This means looking at the sales funnel as: Potential Users => Users => Potential Customers => Customers Customers are monetized. Potential Customers might be monetized. Potential Users cannot be monetized. + Because the tool was already built for your own needs, it's a sunk cost. The new cost was building the infrastructure to share it. While getting paid a lot of money immediately might be nice, in a competitive space like analytics, try before I buy, may be more appropriate. + If a product can take that approach, it is more likely to engage with potential users and place them in the sales pipeline. Good luck.
