PagerDuty (YC S10) Pivot - Fixing the Public Transportation System
- OmarIsmail 16y agolol. Nice one.
- spez 16y agoDammit! Pingdom is so bad it hurts. Please, somebody, replace them. The only thing worse than public transit in SF is Pingdom.
- mrduncan 16y agoCare to elaborate on what is so bad about them (or, what you'd like to see improved)?
- spez 16y agoThey cannot keep me logged in for more than a few minutes. They charge a ridiculous fee for texts. You can't give multiple people access to your account, which is really important given we use Pingdom to notify multiple people... If someone wants to change their contact info, I have to do it. You can't set individual notifications. For example, I want to receive push notifications to my iPhone. David would prefer to receive emails. We can't enable one style for one person. Instead, I have to receive his emails and he has to receive my iPhone chirps. The iPhone app is amazingly buggy. So, why do we use it? Someone recommended them to me, and we've already paid for it. I just assumed something that expensive and oft-recommended would be better.
- perlguy 16y agoOh... and why? And if so, there are many good alternatives, even free ones: AlertFox, Browsermob,...
- kineticac 16y agoFinally someone is fixing public transport!!!! =)
- fleitz 16y agoI was really hoping it was a steam cleaning attachment for my iPhone to clean the seats on BART.
- elliottcarlson 16y ago"PagerDuty will continue to be our baby and we will still enjoy waking you up with sh* t breaks." I sure hope they mean when shit breaks - I've got other things quite under control thank you very much.
- kapitalx 16y agoThanks, I updated it :)
- elliottcarlson 16y agoThough that would have also been an interesting pivot ;)
- puls 16y agoAt least have the decency to spell "Aerial" correctly. Unless you're trying to riff on Google's Helvetica-Comic Sans joke.
- randall 16y agoI freaking hate today. I'm always the April Fool when I read stuff like this.
- azymnis 16y agohappy april fools day everybody!
