Ask HN: What is a small business I can start with minimal risk?

ishener — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 18:41:56 +0000

By minimal risk I mean

1. not spending much money upfront

2. not needing much experience, specialty

3. is relatively in high demand

ishener — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:35:14 +0000

Thanks for your feedback. I'm trying my best to make it faster. Because It's based on analytics warehouse (BigQuery) it's not trivial...

Ask HN: How best to describe my service?

ishener — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 07:47:41 +0000

I'm a technical guy. I know nothing about marketing and how to speak to people who are not technical about my ideas.

Recently, I've been working on a side project which is nearly finished. I'm building the homepage and I have a hard time finding the wording that will make non-technical or semi-technical people know what it's about.

This is what I have so far: http://discrete.li/

So I'll explain my service to you, technical people:

It's basically google analytics but only for AJAX requests. You plant some javascript code on your web application, and my service logs every AJAX request your application makes. The problem this is solving is analytics for single page applications. I have found current analytics solutions to be inadequate for large SPAs. In google analytics, for example, you would need to manually track every AJAX request.

Sure, you can use server side logging, but you can say the same thing about page views, and still everyone are using google analytics... it's not trivial and people are using services to make it easy for them.

Plus, my service also tracks errors so you will have the client side data when researching issues. Also, it automatically tracks request latency (again, from the client side so you get a clear view of user experience), and full searchable payload logs.

Is my technical explanation clear? Does the homepage present this service in a good way?

thanks for any help...

Ask HN: How to find users for my beta app?

ishener — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 13:49:43 +0000

I have side project that I really enjoyed doing plus I think it's a really nice tool to have. I use it in my day job. The thing is I have no idea how to find users to register and start use it. There is a free plan, so I really don't think it should be so hard...

The app is http://discrete.li/ it's basically analytics service for ajax requests. Website owners plant a small javascript snippet in their site, and I track all statistics, including latency tracking and payload logs.

The service is pretty simple right now, but it is reliable. I use it for 6 months to track a medium-size app in production. I don't expect people to pay right away. I'll give it for free in exchange for feedback + patience while I implement it :-)

any way, I would love to hear your thoughts....
