OK, I've added detail charts - one for each metric - so you can easily compare metrics for each country side-by-side.

A classic example of a poor choice of visualisation. Pie and donuts aren't always useless but they're very awkward to interpret here. I made a quick'n'dirty replacement using a stacked column chart if anyone is interested: https://demo.gec

Sunnytrail [1] offers a service for SaaS providers to track key metrics once they have paying customers. However, they don't (yet) offer the most interesting part of your idea, comparing results against others in your industry. It's a fasci

Interruptions collapsing the mental model into fragments reminds me of a pg quote about interruptions that has always chimed with me. But the time quantum for hacking is very long: it might take an hour just to load a problem into your hea

Although I'm not on Facebook so can't properly check it out I do like the concept and it's great you're getting a MVP out there. I can think of a couple of directions for this to go in. Whether you stick to the lead warming angle (b2b) or m

Great start and a fun tool! I'd agree with others who suggest the name and design could use some work but they're totally fixable. I noticed that all the Pulp Fiction quotes replace 'i' with '¡' http://www.subzin.com/quotes/Pulp%20Fiction

Looks great guys, I could use this yesterday. When do you think you'll open out the beta? I understand an exact date won't be possible, just an idea of timescales (days/weeks/months). Also, I signed up for the newsletter and got the followi

Same here, not sure what the problem was. Seems like the points were more than sufficient to keep it further up the field for a bit longer.

I certainly would not argue that there is explicit value in knowing delta Twitter followers, and wasn't what I was suggesting. If you're trying to retrofit causation to a clutch of assorted metrics you happen to have lying about I totally a

Disclosure: I run a startup that makes SaaS status boards. While I agree that having access to _actionable_ metrics is what's really going to be the biggest tangible benefit of these sorts of systems, I've also found that there exists anoth

The 'simultaneous users' model is intriguing and certainly something I'll explore further in this context. I had originally discounted it when focussing on agency users but, while not a perfect fit in all scenarios, it's probably more palat

Hi John, to say there was some deliberation on the pricing model would be a gross understatement. I sweated over this for some time but ultimately it came down to looking at the data on how beta testers were using the product, a number of p

Thanks! The quality of feedback I got from my Ask HN post back in July was pretty incredible. Since then I've spoken to a number of regular HNers who continue to use the product and provide feedback and again, been bowled over by just how h

Thanks Lachy! As for how I got coverage on Techcrunch, I got an intro. Given that our initial target market (tech startups) are their core audience, I thought it would be a great place to announce the launch.

Great to hear you're using it, thanks! We're planning a major revamp of all the widgets. In the meantime you can use a custom text widgets (which accept images and inline styles but no JS) to render whatever you want. Drop me a line if yo

At the risk of coming across spammy, I'm the founder of a web service called Geckoboard [1] that might be useful here. It integrates with 3rd party services such as Google Analytics, Freshbooks, Pingdom, Mixpanel, Zendesk, Uservoice etc. an

As soon as someone comes up with a Braintree for the UK I'm in. We're going to launch paid plans in the not too distant future and have had a hell of a time trying to find a merchant account. We've ended up going with Recurly and PayPal's

I'm the founder of Geckoboard. I know we've been slow in getting the invites out; we've had thousands of signups for the beta and been slightly overwhelmed. My previous offer to HNers stands; if you mail me (see profile) with your HN user
