Any ideas on how you are going to promote it? Are you good with marketing? At the very least you need to add a demo dashboard to highlight the available features, before I have to spend time making an account.

Judging from similar projects I've pursued, writing code seems to be the easiest task these days.

Thanks for the comment.

Yea, I've done my share of marketing. I don't know if I would claim I'm good at it or not. Right now, everything is a bit rough, so it needs some work. I just wanted to get something out and start getting peoples thoughts. If I decide to move forward with it, I'll clean everything up, and create a better landing page for it, explaining features, etc.

This isn't anything new. There are other monitoring apps out there, but some of them are a bit expensive. I'm thinking about charging half of what the others charge.

As a marketer, thanks for saying that. Many on the technical end are dismissive of the value of marketing with 2 predominant views; 1) If its a good product the customers will come or 2) I can do that myself.

To be fair this seems to be a reducing pool last few years for some reason. And there are some god awful marketers out there.
