Instahero looks cool. I was using geckoboard & I though pg's suggestion of focussing on a single metric made a lot of sense, given the amount of time I see startups spend on custom metrics of all colors & stripes.
- StavrosK 14y agoThere's definitely a tendency for people to focus on vanity metrics, so pg's way makes a lot of sense. My post here is a bit orthogonal, I guess, since pg's essay and your tool are about what to measure, whereas my post is about how. That said, I do like the tool, it's very easy and straightforward, good job!
- c1sc0 14y agoMaybe you can take the idea & turn it into something for instahero? Think "landing pages" for certain types of metrics pre-configured. instahero/weekly-visits | instahero/weekly-subscribers | instahero/weekly-visits | instahero/weekly-revenue etc ... I like the idea of having a single page per metric
- StavrosK 14y agoYep, something like this: http://www.instahero.com/project/wWhe4J/report/jRa9Qz/ http://www.instahero.com/project/wWhe4J/report/jRa9Qz/ This is very easy to create using whichever metric you like (I will probably include it as one of the pre-made report templates, too), and you can extend it to report on whatever you like. Thank you very much for the idea!
