Thank you for your comment! Interesting thought.. if many more think the same as you, could be a possibility to add those too.

I would love that kind of support. I initially thought that was what you were providing, and I was rather excited. My subscriptions have become an unmanageable beast.

Looks great. UI looks top notch and I agree this is something I might want for personal use. I interviewed at a start up in NYC looking to do something almost identical about 6 months ago, just FYI for competition sake. I looked you guys up on angellist so I know you aren't them. Cheers.

Thanks for commenting, I appreciate your feedback. I know of some others that are operating in the same space, but not really that many.

There's room for everybody with their own interpretation of solving this problem.

Really thinking about this for personal use now, based on these comments..

That makes sense to me. Are you planning on doing any Google advertising or Facebook advertising? I ask because I'm hoping to launch my own SAAS in the next month, and am trying to figure out what works for connecting to the developer community.

Might be helpful to check out how New Relic and Docker did it. https://growthhackers.com/growth-studies/new-relics-growth-p... https://www.slideshare.net/julienbarbier42/docker-growth-hac...

Thanks! I'll definitely have a look at these.

I can't login, is your login service down by any chance? edit:// Yup, getting 504 gateway timeout on /login - I'll come back later :)

Yes, DB just went down. We've implemented a failover, to hopefully avoid this in the future.

Signed up. Added a few accounts. Tried adding a custom app and it wanted me to subscribe for $29 per month.

I would happily pay for a service like this but not $300+ per year. As is, there is a free account or one targeted at businesses. What about an upgraded single user tier in the $50 per year range?

Also, as others stated, permissions on Github, Dropbox, etc. seem excessive.

Great job! Unubo is an awesome interface for a potentially useful product! A few notes: - Github permissions seem excessive. You require: - Personal user date: full access - Repos: public and private - Delete repos - Read and write Gists - Access to all available organization - Dropbox requires access to all my files rather than just an App folder (or a limited scope) - All of the above for Trello I haven't tested th…

Thanks for your comment! We're currently working on a feature that allows you to manage various aspects of your apps, hence the full-access scopes, so for now, to reflect the level of access needed to display billing data, I've updated the scopes to minimum requirements for GitHub, Dropbox and Trello. Would be great if you could connect your apps and let us know your thoughts. Thanks!

Great idea, but I get spooked easily. I signed up, figured I'd add GitHub, saw "This application will be able to delete any repository to which you have admin rights," and ran away.

Completely understand. We've just updated our scope to the minimum requirements to collect billing data. Please feel free to connect and let us know your thoughts. Thanks!

Agreed, right now I use a spreadsheet to track subscriptions, it works great. I think an app like this can replace and add value to a simple spreadsheet but $300 more dollars year to track services I already subscribe too is way to much.

I would shoot for lower per year cost, around the $20 to $25 mark.

Thanks for giving us your feedback, means a lot. At the moment we've aimed this at businesses, and are seeing a fair bit of response asking for something consumer focused.

Definitely thinking about how we could approach this.
