Nginx is high on mine and my users' wish lists. I'm still trying to figure out if it's even possible to integrate with VirtualHostX (which is Apache focused) given the UI differences Nginx support would dictate or if it would be best to break Nginx support out into a new, standalone product. Some users might see a separate product as a money-grab, but I'm really at a loss as to how I'd combine Apache + Nginx support into a single product.
- sondr3 12y agoMaybe split it up into packages? You have a set of core features but can buy support for more advanced features for either Nginx/Apache or both. That would be my first hunch however I think it goes against what you've been doing with your app (pricing especially) though.
- patio11 12y agoSome users might see a separate product as a money-grab Some users don't think software developers should charge money. They make up an extremely small percentage of gross revenue and, accordingly, people whose opinions you should give the time of day to.
- jkestner 12y agoDefinitely should be a separate product, with perhaps 10-20% off a bundle of the two. This also helps price discriminate your audience. People who actually need to monitor both probably work for big messy companies that can afford $90.
- machinshin_ 12y agoconsidering you'd be targetting two different webservers, i don't think so. you'd also be expanding the potential userbase. Besides, I haven't heard of anyone who uses both nginx & apache.
- moepstar 12y agoeh? Then make me a first, i reverse proxy from Apache to NGINX, having NGINX as a caching layer for static assets etc.. That's not too uncommon imho...
