Document almost everything you do. Spot on. That’s something we missed entirely.

We're bootstrapping SaaS service as two co-founders for two years already. I would say don't document anything except the code (if you really want to). Don't track anything, don't create any reports of some sorts for the sake of creating.

Only thing you should really care about is how you product solves pain points for the user. Measure user retention and revenue.

As a young enterprise you should only care about how to survive and how to get users. Nothing more, nothing less.

When I said documenting, I was thinking about publicly documenting what you do, in order to create an audience around your company.

That's really great, especially if people buying your software are also interested in entrepreneurship.

More like blogging, which is a really good way for long term growth
Not to bring too much of a traditional business view to HN, but measuring margin is arguably more important than measuring revenue.
