> to see real user testimonial and real company logos on your landing page to inspire confidence
I agree, I got this before. All reviews are real, userTrack was sold on CodeCanyon before (1000+ sales) and unfortunately when the item was removed all the reviews are now hidden/gone (that's where the 4.7/5 rating from the footer comes from).
I would ask some of the existing customers to write a testimonials (or simply quote their emails, most of them, when contacting me, start by saying that they love userTrack), but I don't really like publicly sharing who is using my product. I think the list of customers should be kept confidential and respect their privacy

Thanks a lot for this feedback, I will look into this issue!
> I'm interested in how paid software distribution will work
I should write a blog post about this. I created my own distribution system:
* License and file distribution system (downloading the app) in a NodeJS app
* Automatically link the Paddle payment API to generate a license when a purchase happens
* A public GitHub repository to store and validate file integrity hashes for the downloads
* Some example scripts (cloud-init, bash) to automatically set-up userTrack on Ubuntu servers
* I am working on a Docker image
* The product multiple variants that I can build (WordPress, Regular, Agency)
* The product a 7-day trial version that can be automatically upgraded to the full version
* For each version mentioned above there is also a BETA channel, so I can test or ask specific customers to update to the newest beta version without publicly pushing the new release for everyone
* There is no versioning yet (the download system always returns the latest version), but I am considering adding a flag so you can choose which version to download
> You should show the expected $5/mo hosting cost on DigitalOcean on your front page. That makes the setup very clear -- self hosted, cheap
This is a good suggestion, the only issue is that different customers use different ways to host userTrack. For example, for the WordPress version you can just add it as a plugin to your existing installation, no extra monthly costs. Others already have a shared hosting, so adding another LAMP application costs nothing.
PostHog is actually pretty new and seems to have a similar feature set (around 2 years old, compared to userTrack that is 8+ years old). I do sometimes check their progress but overall I couldn't really take an in-depth look at their platform as it feels very complex and more developer or data-analyst oriented.
Thanks a lot for sharing the feedback, I loved it, really helpful!
