The Discourse Logo,Ask HN: Should I take the time to create this side project?Hi,

I was wondering what some of you may think of this idea I have for a side project... In terms of actually developing it, it is very simple so I don't mind sharing it, as it's all in the execution. I'm just not sure if it's worth the time. So, the idea is this:

Allow struggling companies that sell a good, whether it be digital or tangible, to buy a plot of pixels on my site, that would link to a big discount of their product. So, a company can pay lets say, $60 to have a 30X30 banner of their logo, and that banner would link to their product, but at a discounted price. As a result, they would get more sales, and users of the site would get really good deals.

The idea is that users can "click anywhere to get a deal."

Thoughts? Is it worth looking for companies to try it out with?nI think of it as the million dollar homepage meets daily deals...

thanks.
,(Volunteer needed) Design for sweet HN Passion Project: Bucket list webappHey!

Me and a friend from Hacker news have been working on a Rails app to help people accomplish life changes that they want to make.

It will be a fully integrated facebook app that allows users to set life-goals for themselves, and collaborate with others' sharing the same.

Its second purpose is to facilitate the discovery of sweet challenges that others' are doing!

We're a couple of web engineers, and although I flatter myself in thinking that I can layout an interface that's somewhat nice to use, visual design is still a total PITA, and a logo would be hopeless. Can you do it?

Commit as much as little as you want to, just follow through on what you do commit to. We're a relaxed bunch, and just don't want our site to look to shitty.. :-)

,Launch HN: Slingshow (YC W20) – Easily build custom virtual events and webinarsHello world, my name is Nilay. My cofounder Jorge and I founded Slingshow (https://slingshow.com/) and we're super excited (and nervous!) to finally launch on HN. Slingshow helps you build custom virtual events for your community. Think Zoom, but with a modern and flexible user experience that seamlessly flows between different ways of interacting with larger and smaller groups.

Last year, we were in YC W20 pivoting through several ideas, but then the pandemic hit. Suddenly, our YC batch was just a series of monotonous Zoom calls. We lost the magic of the social dinners, random conversations, and catching a speaker afterward for a personal chat. We quickly recognized that while Zoom was great for small meetings, the functionality and UI/UX made large group events unorganized and passive.

During the pandemic, many novel and sometimes gimmicky video platforms emerged targeting the social niche. But every organization hosts more than social events. We built Slingshow to have no learning curve for traditional use cases like panels and presentations while seamlessly incorporating newer social formats. We think the best virtual event formats are still in their infancy and are unique to every use case, so we wanted to create a flexible tool that would let organizers build their own experiences.

We were inspired by companies like Notion, Coda, Retool, and Airtable, which work in the UI/UX paradigm of creating functional modular building blocks. This means choosing a few simple, valuable abstractions like a table or a button and letting users mix and match these components to meet their needs. In our case, we’re starting with four fundamental blocks that organizers use to plan a schedule: Tables for free-flowing networking like interactions, Rooms for concurrent presentations, a Stage for classic webinar like presentations, and a Call to Action block for redirecting to external websites like forms, activities, etc.

Using our blocks, one of our enterprise customers (Fivetran) holds their standard webinar on our Stage block and then shifts into the Rooms block where attendees can choose to speak with the panelists. Another customer held a dating event that started with a Stage to introduce the event, then switched to Tables of 4, then 3, then 2 with different prompts to create more intimate conversations. We also have other customers hosting unique product launches, happy hours, live podcasts, cohort-based classes, and multi-day hackathons. While some platforms offer similar functionality, they’re heavy conference platforms with a large learning curve. They also require days of work to create specialized assets and often involve trained intermediaries like event organizers and planners.

We’re not focused on conferences but rather on simplicity, and Blocks help us achieve that. They're versatile and help simplify the organizer's event creation process by hiding complexity. Blocks are also a simple way for us to add new formats in the future. By just by creating a schedule with Blocks, Slingshow automatically generates the event page with registration, a cover image, and the entire attendee experience. Add a logo and brand color, and we'll automatically theme the entire event to make it feel like your brand.

We've chosen to launch late as nothing else matters if the video isn't stable and reliable for first-time users. One speaker failing to connect could ruin an event leaving a bad impression on everyone involved. We’ve spent several months working with early customers to gracefully handle errors and give helpful error messages for all the complexity of video: weak network connections, old browsers, mobile devices, firewalls, SDK edge cases, permission issues, etc. Depending on the use case, we also switch between multiple WebRTC video infrastructure providers. And lastly, following the lead of companies like Discord and Tandem, we built our backend using the Phoenix framework in Elixir because of its excellent support for WebSockets.

We still have a long way to go, but we feel confident with what we have and are ready to open up to a broader audience. We'd love to hear your feedback and experiences with the many virtual events you've probably experienced over this pandemic. Thanks! :–)

,Taking a Chance - Free startup ideaI wrote this up in a text file a while back, I have a bunch of other ideas, but no time and lack the experience to do many of them. So I thought I would throw one up on HN in the event someone sees some value in it.

---------

MDWnDec 3rd, 2010

Idea-in-a-sentence: “We are going to put the human element of life between the 0's and 1's of the cold digital music wasteland.” or “Experiences, Memories, Personal Connections, and Passion are all uniquely human. Streaming the ciphered bits of 0's and 1's of a song is uniquely digital. We want to change that.”

makes songs take on character/personality of vinyl records

songs get more 'seasoned' as you play them more

how? - analyze large sample of vinyl vs. mp3/flac

analyze variation, rate of change, identify at least 20 variables between digital and vinyl and how they change over time using as much user context as possible(does temp. affect sound? Does virtual/physical record player change not only sound when played, but also change future characteristics of audio? Etc..)

overall strategy: bring soul/personality(one advantage of vinyl) to digital(convenience of play, storage, etc..)

logo/brand ideas: representation of character/soul/personality/interactiveness in a sea of binary

overall concepts: put emotion in an emotionless medium; to humanize digital; warm(human, dynamic) the cold(digital, static)

monetization questions:nhow?nwhere is the value?n- is the value in the ability to have a (DDM)dynamic digital medium taking traits from (DAM)dynamic analog medium in vinyl, or is the value in the curation/storage/market-making services of company for the converted DDM?

would people pay for service, if so, when?n- after songs take on a warm, analog feel, or before file conversion based on expectations?

what are expectations?(quantify acceptable level of Δ(DDM/DAM))

how to create enduring value after Δ(DDM/DAM) approaches 0 acceptably?(in other words, once the song is seasoned to acceptable level, and continued use yields less and less noticeable results, how do you still generate revenue?)

- market-making?

only part of value can come from audio features, other features must be just as important in order to be a platform, not a widget.

In staying with theme of value synergy between digital(cold, mp3, flac, convenient, experiences do not follow the medium, they follow the user) and analog(warm, vinyl, record sleeve signed by artist, human connection, experiences travel with physical medium), we can further add value by storing experiences of one user and being a market maker for others to consumer that value.

- for static digital medium(mp3's, flac, etc..) now: what the user does with it, how it's played, what shows they went to, who they met, pictures of events and people, and other experiences do not follow the file, they stay with the user(not creating value)

- for dynamic digital medium we want to make: what user does with it, how many times it's played, where it's traveled, who they've met, pictures from shows and events, signatures, etc.. still stay in users memory, but also follow the filet (creating a sort of provenance > value > $$$).

metrics:n?

feature ideas:

Live Show>Hotspot>Signed Album: allow artists to set up “hotspots”(50 yard radius?) at shows that will virtually add text/drawings/photos/content controlled by artist to album cover/inside sleep/etc.. of DDM of people with the app.

Streamlined integration with mobile/tablet/big screen. Users won't be able to fully realize value of album art, signatures, pictures from shows, etc... on a small screen(mobile). This makes the multi-screen integration a very important factor. Should files be cloud based and then streamed?(easier, but limited by bandwidth and connection reliability) Or should the program use a more local approach that connects directly between devices?(harder, could run into compatibility issues and may make development more costly and delayed)

Goals:nMeet with people who would enjoy using website/appnPut a rough draft of dream team together, keep in contact with them, consult with them oftennFurther hash out idea with potential team members and others input. Create mockup videos of how it would be used(think iPhone commercials) and concept in action.nCan it work? Proof of concept (toughest goal?)nHow Much will it cost?nSecure legal counsel, find best way for company structure(start as LLC, but plan for c-corp?) Make sure a dynamic digital medium doesn't infringe on any copyright issue. Identify any foreseeable legal issues.nCreate logo/brand identitynHire teamnCreate beta website/app. Usable, but minimal upfront development costsnPitch idea to record stores, ask for feedback, input from employees. Show how website/app could increase their market share and increase their profits. Somehow get small investments from large number of record stores without giving equity. Hard, but the key may be to get their point of view on how it could help them. They may be a large future userbase and advocate, offer future discounts, exclusive rights to at least 3 points of integration into program? Something like that.nIdentify robust set of static(non changing) variables to analyze between digital audio and vinyl audionIdentify robust set of dynamic(changing) variables of vinyl and how various use affects these variables.nNormalize staticΔ(digital/vinyl) – (make audio file consistently sound like brand new vinyl)nNormalize dynamicΔ(digital/vinyl) – (make audio file consistently sound like seasoned old vinyl)nFill the gap! Connect how vinyl changes over time/use to digital, and apply in between normalized staticΔ and normalized dynamicΔ.nRelease beta to vinyl enthusiasts, audiophiles, record store employees etc.. free, but with feedback tool included.
,Ask HN: Why does Gitlab's top-right logo now say “Gitlab Next”?I've been a convert to GitLab for around 8 months. But I guess I missed something, because as of today there's a big green "Next" label near the regular GitLab logo. A skimming of the blog and a Duck Duck Go search don't immediately reveal an answer. I've checked it logged in and while logged out and it's still there.

(Quick shill: Github is great for discovering and sharing open source projects, no doubt; but try GitLab for your own FOSS or private repos. It somehow "just works" while being extremely flexible. I run their "built-in" CI runner on VPS and local machines for free, and the whole platform is open source and installable anywhere. Mirror any open repos on Github of course, but it's like a "MegaUpload" site compared to Gitlab's actual tools. Rant complete.).

,Show HN: Nexus – Free Avatar, Logo, and URL Enrichment APIsHey HN community!

Today I am launching the beta version of a project I've been working on called Nexus (https://docs.nexus150.com). Nexus provides APIs for avatars, logos, favicon, and open-graph data.

I needed an API for user avatars, company logos, url unfurling/embedding for my other projects – and Nexus was born.

I'm launching the beta version in order to help discover bugs/issues before opening up the paid version to the public.

Feel free to check out the documentation and start using it today for free: https://docs.nexus150.com

More public APIs to come. Let me know what other public APIs you would like to see in the roadmap.

Thanks!.
,Ask HN: Interested in buying my site?I am posting to see if there's any interest in buying my first commercial project, Certician (https://www.certician.com/).

Certician is an SSL monitoring service that checks customers' SSL certificates for upcoming expirations or misconfigurations.

The codebase has CheddarGetter (recurring billing) and Twilio (SMS) integration. It's written in Django (a Python framework).

I'm thinking about selling it because I don't have the time, money or passion to grow it. I also believe that it's a truly useful service and that someone more motivated could do well with it.

In addition to it being a useful service, I believe that I've come up with a moderately good looking site and a good brand (see the logo: SSL + Physician = Certician).

I have very little traffic and only one paying customer.
This site is not something you'd want to acquire in order to instantly gain an immediate source of revenue, it's a site you'd acquire because you see potential and have the passion to grow it.

I'm also not willing to post this on Flippa or the like because I don't want the site or the domain to go to someone distrustful. As a long-term member of HN, I'm confident that a fellow HN user will be a better steward than a random buyer.

If you're at all interested, please contact me via the site: https://www.certician.com/contact/

Thanks for your time..
,Looking for CoFounder / 2cents?My name Will. I am 23. I live in LA. Going to school for marketing but also thinking about dropping out to join a startup or CREATE a startup. Im in the process of gathering advice. Im an aspiring entrepreneur! Not the 'idea man'. I dont have a get rich quick idea. Looking for someone who is willing to hear out my ideas and work with someone who believes in them or meet someone to tell me im a f*ing idiot. Anything works.

So, read below to check out projects I've worked on in the past or are currently working on now.

I am constantly thinking of ways to better the world and make certain things in life less complicated or constructive for the mass.

Ive been passionately trying to start a business since I was 18...and failed or pivoted many times. This is the order in which they have originated from.
I am still working on a few of them! Looking to hash them out more with other Entrepreneurs that believe in my vision or engineers that would like to assist in wire framing or designing beta sites/apps.

1st idea - MealDealz: Dining deals. Coupons and discounts for all the popular restaurants and fast food places. Now there are many alike.

2nd idea - MiServices: Directed toward younger individuals trying to make money on the side walking dogs or putting up christmas lights, etc but would like to be accredited through ratings. Something better than Craigslist but you're not licensed so you can't technically be on Angies list or Yelp.

3rd idea - Readr: Discover and share books you love and start a book club online. Have authors start a book club for their new releases, or fans start one. Now alike Goodreads.

4th idea - Betsy: make bets online and through our application with others on any topic from the Tech world, Entertainment, Sports, Politics, etc. Earn points, humblebrag and use the points to get cool rewards.

5th idea - standUP: organize all the online campaigns into one place. Enlighten people on common issues and how to take action through either petitions to congress, sharing the message or supporting the cause, etc. Show all the trending topics currently going on: Occupy Wall Street, GunControl, Internet Control, Oil Spill, Education, War on Drugs, etc. Then the main objective would be to help people establish their standpoint on the issue by showing all the different points of views and how they could easily take action all in one simple organized application. The app would be like the One campaign app.

Plus many other ideas! But these are the ones that I've either already worked on or are currently working on.

I am fascinated with the concept of building businesses, the surprises with successful marketing, and the power of social media and how much impact it has on the world.

I can assist in creating a business model. Assist in product design. Make Logo. Talk to potential customers, test design hypotheses. Figure out sales and marketing strategy, find beta users, warm up early adopters, performance tracking, online profiles, help create a blog. Research. Checking up on competitors and how they do business. Or help collectively create a meaningful mission statement explaining why we give this service/product.

Any advice works. Contact me:

,What tech stack to use?I need to create an application that is essentially a CRUD one ; it will become a SaaS once it's done enough.

What tech stack to use?

I need to do a "working wireframe" (=> everything but not nice design, logo, colors) within ten days (during evenings and week-ends). I will then show it to potential (?) customers.

It needs to work great on laptop, on mobile devices, and should be able to work in the future with voice commands.
In any case, it has to be really quick/reactive, super simple+beautiful=pure.

My tech experience is PHP (with frameworks), bootstrap, jQuery, and a small slice of Angular (so pretty "old"-fashioned tech stack).

A technology with a pretty looong learning curve wouldn't be that interesting because I wouldn't be able to do a prototype within days, and I may get discouraged quickly.

What would be the best choice, and why?.
,Ask HN: Review my webapp: Mobile site makerHi everyone! I just finished my app (ready for public Beta release after your feedback) and am hoping to get some feedback from the HN community.

http://gmbhnews.com/make-mobile-site/ is a mobile site creation service. You just add your blog urls ( +rss feed url ), and it generates a mobile optimized version of your site. It's very easy for the publisher to generate a mobile blog, All you need to do is add your blog, copy the generated code snippset in your blog for redirection to your mobile site and you are good to invade the more than 3,3 Billions mobile devices out there ( By 2011, 10 billion wireless devices will dot the Planet–five billion mobile phones and another five billion wireless devices ).

The mobile generated sites are optimized for almost every mobile device platform (symbian, iOs, Android, PalmOs, cell phones....etc) and publishers can monetize their mobile traffic with adsense for mobiles and keep all their revenues.

At the front end http://www.gmbhnews.com/ people can use the service as a news reader/discover dashboard, everything has been kept to the minimum necessary to give peoples a great experience reading news/blogs on their mobile devices, and saving the readers some bandwidth. I hope this can serve some of you and will welcome all your suggestions. FWIW , it's a bootstrapped startup and I'm still struggling to create a decent Logo for the front end www.gmbhnews.com/ (hope there's a designer reading this :) and willing to take a shot on it).

NB: the weird url: /make-mobile-site is for SEO purposes, till I can convince high profiles blogger to take a look and give me a chance (TC, RWW, Mashable......), got to count on SEO.
----> The user front end www.gmbhnews.com site is optimized for mobile devices and webkit browsers , looks very weird in other browsers but still works!.
,Teaching Computer Science to KidsI face a dilemma that I have a gut feeling about, and I'd like some of your opinions to keep my ego in check.

I have an opportunity to teach computer science to a number of children at our local homeschool co-op. The age range is 9-12, and the class is voluntary, so the students are a self-selected group.

The trend in teaching seems to be focused on making computer science more engaging and fun. Usually there is some sort of point-and-click interface to let students easily create multimedia presentations and movies without having to type a single line of code. See www.alice.org, or MIT's Scratch.

My gut tells me that although this method would be extremely popular and engaging, it's mostly a waste of time for those who really want to learn the science, and that those students who don't care to begin with probably won't progress much further after you take the fun tool away. It really feels to me like a dumbing-down.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is my idea, which is to develop an extremely simple virtual computer environment where you can see all parts of the computer in a GUI. You can drill down into individual bytes in RAM and set them (and immediate see the result in the case of video memory), you can see the CPU registers change as you step through code, etc. The machine has 64k of RAM and a very simple CPU instruction set.

I'd like to teach using a bottom-up approach in parallel with a history of computing, so the students learn things in essentially the same order as they were discovered. They'll see initially how difficult it is to write machine code, but they'll see for themselves how a simple program calls functions and jumps around in memory, and gain an understanding of binary numbers and arithmetic. They would then progress to simple interpreted and compiled languages.

This is pretty much the way I learned at that age, without much help.

The middle road would be to start with some interpreted language like BASIC or LOGO and teach from there. I think this has the same weaknesses as the newer approaches without any of the strengths.

So am I crazy to want to teach machine language (albeit a simple one) to 10 year olds?.
,Should Coke buy Twitter?According to Google trends, “interest” in Twitter is about twice that of Disney. (1) As many others have mentioned, Twitter has outsize influence and visibility.

Twitter is losing money, but it could probably break even or make money if it stopped grasping for growth. It also has a strong niche, and can be expected to maintain its position for a while.

Disney is spending $ 2B per year on advertising. (2)

At a 10% discount rate, a $2 B/year perpetuity is worth $20 B.

Should Disney purchase Twitter -- making media cite tweets as stemming from “Disney’s Twitter" -- as a pure name-recognition play? Disney could add its logo to every tweet as well. If so, why aren’t other like Coca Cola in the game?

,Ask HN: Anyone want to buy subsonicsoftware.com? $1000 off for HN'ersHi,

I've decided to sell the domain I would have used if I had pursued contracting the development of mobile apps. I don't believe I'll do this so I want to sell the domain.

It's registered for 10 years on Gandi with free SSL. & I have a nice logo that I'll throw in with it if you like.

I'm selling it on Namebox.io, you can search for it there, I have it listed for $5000, but I'll give HN readers $1000 off if you mention you came from this post.

The discount is a limited time offer- say a month or so, so act now!

,WhiteLabel – Branded Games for BusinessesSuper excited to share with the community, WhiteLabel - Branded Games for Businesses.

What is it?

A service to customize games with brand references (i.e. logo, products) placed inside. Usually super simple, easy to play casual games.

Why?

Ads are becoming boring. An average person encounters between 6,000 to 10,000 ads every single day.

On top of that, privacy concerns are rising. The deprecation of third-party tracking is near.

Businesses need to stay connected with their customer base more creatively and memorably.

With over 1.8 billion gamers worldwide, branded games are an excellent solution to engage with consumers in an interactive manner.

For casual online games, an average session hovers at 16.8 minutes.

Imagine throwing a challenge to your audience with a game, i.e. share their best score for an X% discount.

Players will subconsciously remember your brand for a long time.

A successful campaign will make your brand stand out from the competition.

With the launch of WhiteLabel, we look forward to making branded games accessible for businesses of all sizes.

Pricing

Free options are available.

Standard package @ US$149.

,Hacking Amazon Algo in LatamNo code or images, just good ol' text.

There are 4 steps to hacking Amazon's algorithm and I'll summarize them here.

Step 1: finding products that can lead their categories.

There are two tools to do this, either JungleScout or Helium10, I personally like H10 better (both are paid for).

Look up a particular subcategory (e.g. bed sheets) and download the Excel containing the sellers and the sales amounts for the last 30 days.

The key to identifying good products and categories is: price point above US $20, last 30 days revenue for top 3 players above US $10,000, local rather than global players, big sales difference between top players and bottom players

When you identify products that have a good ticket size and few, local competitors, add up what the sum of all product sales is worth and you get your total addressable market. Quantify the % for the player #3 (best case), #10 (base case) and #25 (worst case). Do this exercise for 25 products and select the 3 you deem best.

Step 2: sourcing.

Easiest way to source is from Alibaba, otherwise try to find local suppliers (can be trickier). Always ask for samples!

Make sure you have a brand name and register it with the local authorities. For some products you'll need a certificate. This takes time.

Create a logo. Send that logo to the suppliers.

Send production order for the amount of units the base case says you could sell. Bring 20% of units by plane, 80% by sea. Make sure you comply with the accounting and import laws (you'll need an agente aduanal to help and make the payment for you)

In the production meantime prepare the images and set up marketplace accounts (Amazon + MELI).

Look up keywords to use on JungleScout.

Have everything set up.

Receive the goods in a warehouse until you get access to FBA.

Step 3: Sell (the hack!)

Assign a 50% ACOS at first to get high inorganic ranking, costly but worth it

Ask friends & family to buy your product and rate it with 5 stars (not all reviews are shown by Amazon).. you can use coupon codes for this

Price high initially and set a 25% discount for the first 20 units

First weeks will be painful, but after the first 10 reviews on your product you will begin to see some traction, make sure 100% of deliveries are on time

Check your ranking vs competitors and measure your organic ranking (non-paid Ads)

The point of this game is to spend excessive money on Advertising so you rank higher inorganically to then rank higher organically.

Once you rank on page one organically you can lower ACOS to 40%, and once you are among top 20 to 30% and then to 20%, until you reach 15%, that's what you should have once you stabilize.

Step 4: Next order

When you in fact see your sales adding up you need to order another batch. Be aggressive. Order enough inventory to be #3 in your category the next 6 months. Running out of stock screws your ranking.

The more you order the lower your COGS

Track your organic ranking everytime

Step 5: Win profitably

After a few months of doing this your P&L should be EBITDA positive. 15% Ad spend, 30-40% COGS, 25% FBA + Amazon fee, 20-30% profit.

That's how you hack it. By being more aggressive in Ad spend with a mid-term strategy than competitors.

The initial setup takes a lot of time, but this is a super scalable model. In 6 months I burnt $250k without income. By month 9 I had $420,000 in revenue with profit. It works!.
,Launch HN: Paigo (YC S22) – Measure and bill SaaS customers based on usageHey HN! Daniel here, I’m a software engineer and hobbyist hacker. I’m joined by my cofounder Matt. We’re building Paigo (https://paigo.tech). We make it easy for SaaS businesses to bill customers based on usage.

To get your hands dirty a bit we have a stateless and signupless demo you can try out: https://hn.paigo.tech/ and a video of me walking through the system in a bit more detail: https://youtu.be/T6J1Yh8GhdU.

The idea of our platform is fairly straightforward: You give us read-only access to your SaaS backend and based on tenant metadata for your infrastructure, we measure, persist, and aggregate SaaS tenant usage data to give a clear picture of per-client usage. We can measure metrics like API requests, Compute time, Data Storage, Transaction Volumes and many more. Some common scenarios would be: an ML platform could use Paigo to track processed input files for customers, a Data platform could use Paigo to determine the data size customers have consumed, and an API company can use Paigo to track customers’ API requests. Additionally, we also help you understand your cost to serve your clients’ usage, and this data allows us to provide your SaaS with usage based billing.

What’s the problem we are solving? Many SaaS products need to measure their customer's usage in some form, and many want to incorporate it into their billing plans. It’s fairly annoying to either build the entire system in house or to build a measurement system in house and then connect to a billing provider. It takes months to get a usage based billing system up and running and usually requires several engineers (if not more) to maintain and operate. Also, when Sales wants to offer specific discounts or deals to major enterprises, it’s typically handled outside of the in-house system in Excel spreadsheets with some good guesses. This is how a lot of money gets lost for major deals.

With Paigo we handle 100% of the measurement and collection of SaaS customers’ usage for the business. SaaS business can see their customers’ usage within 10 minutes, because all they need to do is give us read access to their cloud account. Since we pull the lower level infra-data we can additionally give information like per tenant cost, and profit margin.

Matt and I came to this project after we built similar internal billing systems at previous jobs and we realized how error-prone these systems can be—one incident might have even undercharged a client by a few million dollars! We also realized there was no solution which integrated directly to a backend system and handled the measurement and gathering of usage data as well as providing the end billing integration to platforms like stripe, AWS marketplace, or through ACH.

To get into the technical details Paigo has a few measurement systems to measure different forms of usage data: infrastructure-based, where we connect directly to cloud APIs then to slice-and-dice per tenant usage data; agent-based, where our agent is deployed into a runtime to gather usage like pod cpu time, memory, and file read write, along with any exported metrics that are prometheus compatible; and datastore-based, where we connect directly to datastores like S3, Kinesis, or log file. We require that the data in the datastore based approach adhere to a standard data format so we can process it. However this allows us to Pull, any custom metrics and dimensions directly from your Datastore. All of this data is then processed and sent to our backend usage journal, where we store it in an append-only ledger pattern.

For clients to search, and aggregate their data into an end bill or to slice and dice their client’s cost and usage we have an API clients can use. We’re an API first company, which is why our demo can work with Retool—the demo is just a very thin skin over our API. The API is a NestJS based application, currently running in AWS Lambda with API-Gateway.

We bill based on invoiced revenue (surprise surprise its usage based) and we have a platform fee, roughly it breaks down to 1% of invoiced revenue on Paigo. Note that pricing is not currently transparent on our website. Our typical customers are mid-sized enterprises where an initial sales call is typically expected. However, we will be updating our main webpage soon to have some self-service options.

For a bit of deeper dive on the measurement engine we have some docs here: https://docs.paigo.tech/

Thanks for taking time to read! Let us know what you hate and maybe what you love :P. We’d also love to hear your thoughts and experiences with measuring customer usage and usage-based billing!.
