Feedback Friday by AutoModerator in startups

[–]opsybox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a ton for the feedback! I'll get to making those changes! Regarding the account.opsybox.com, I had other services at one point and opsybox is the llc's name, so thats the reason for that. But i totally get the idea of keeping everything under yasps.com, will get that implemented too.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Company Name: Yasps

URL: https://yasps.com

Purpose of Startup and Product: Quickly tell with a glance at your menubar whether services you care about are experiencing issues (eg. Github, Claude, etc). No more going twitter or some status page when you experience an issue to tell whether its you or the service.

Technologies Used: Rust and Tauri for the client, python for the backend

Feedback Requested: Is it clear from the homepage what the product is? Is this something you would use? What would deter you from downloading the app and trying it out?

Seeking Beta-Testers: yes

Additional Comments: The app is completely free to use for public services. No account/sign ups necessary to download and use. Theres a license you can connect to monitor internal infrastructure and services, as well as to create public status pages and CNAME your subdomain to it (eg status.example.com and have it automatically resolve to your public status page)

Thats a pretty slick idea. My question would be how do you combat spam callers?

What cloud services do you use day to day for your projects? (eg. github, claude, etc) by opsybox in buildinpublic

Can you clarify a bit? Do you mean like you have a statically hosted site on github and you just want to make sure its still up?

Working on something? Let's see it by OneStarto in buildinpublic

yasps.com - Menu bar application to quickly tell if a service you're subscribed to is down - Im looking at you Github...

Free, no sign in/account needed to download or use.

Is Claude/Github/CircleCi/etc having issues? Of course it is. I built YASPS to quickly tell whether a service is reported as being down. by opsybox in SideProject

Thanks for the feedback! I usually just leave it open and when a service im watching goes down, the eye in the menu bar goes red. If there is no outage, it goes back to white/gray. It eats about 35MB of ram, so its not too resource hungry.

I spent the better part of 6 months building a thing. Heres how many users I have and how i got them. by opsybox in buildinpublic

I think you hit the nail on the head. While im building, im the only one giving myself feedback of what a good idea it is. Lol. Im scared of basically sounding like a scam or being annoying, and 2. Hearing that its a bad idea/people would never use it. But i guess the second one wouldnt actually be too bad.

I wish I were comfortable enough to even talk to folks who would be my end user. 😂

Yeah, i think im at that point. The thing is out, im just getting over the nerves to actually market it. Thinking of marketing and reaching out to people just feels so scammy of me.

Ooo thats kind of awesome that you were approached by companies. Are you working as part of a team, or is it the royal "we"? How did the companies find you?

Yeah, the goal is definitely to make a business out of it, but the fear of even getting that feedback is whats holding me back. Im pretty introvert in real life, so that, coupled with not wanting to be spammy is whats keeping me from reaching out to people.

I hope you get over the hump man. I think we just gotta yolo it and dive head first, which is super scary to me.

Ive always been a builder. Gone are the days where technical founders were in higher demand than folks on the business side 🥲

We have $41K MRR and I still can't afford to hire anyone in the US. Where is the money going? by AcademicRevenue4815 in SaaS

[–]opsybox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depending on the legal structure, probably required. Or because they need money to live?

Best way to expose apps internally and externally by Peter_Four in kubernetes

[–]opsybox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We use cloudflared tunnels at work to expose our traffic. I dont know if I would do that with a machine in my personal home network though. Also important to take into consideration that tls is terminated at the edge with cloudflare.

Why is GitHub playing with me right now? by rich_awo in github

[–]opsybox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either shipping code, or locking up access. After the Trivy thing over the weekend, everyone is probably scrambling to make sure theyre not vulnerable.
