Selling tools to tool builders is a tricky proposition.
Apps like these sell to enterprises (large and small). You are almost certainly talking to the wrong people (although I am sure potential users looked like the right people to start with).
Tell the world just what problem your app uniquely solves and see what happens.
N.B. You will need to convince enterprises (start-ups etc.) that you are there for the long term and that your infrastructure is secure, robust and 99.99% available.
Good luck.
- DaveChild 14y ago> Selling tools to tool builders is a tricky proposition. Indeed! We're a fussy lot :) All good points about reliability - I'll see what I can do to add that reassurance to the setup.
- duiker101 14y agoUhm you made an interesting point, would you mind expanding it? Where should he look for customers? He is on Hacker News now, don't you thin it's a nice place to find the people he need?
- bdfh42 14y agoYes - the point I was trying to make was the "pitch" needs to be to the enterprise while the functionality needs to meet the needs of the developers/support people who would actually use it. I think that this is a tough thing to get right. Feedback from HN users is going to be difficult to "filter" as we are mostly developers yet some of us are also (of necessity) business types. [Edit] When I said "talking to the wrong people" I was not referring directly to this post on HN.
