Looks like a good MVP, but the .io domain is a non-starter because of the past registrar/mgmt. problems (ie. entire registrar and DNS being pwned.) If anybody knows if .io mgmt. is professionally managed now, let me know. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/07/10/io_hijacking_in_tra...
How do you intend to monetize? It is important to make sure your business plan aligns with my potential use cases.
Small typo: it is misspelled as ti on the landing page.
It looks cool and I'll give it a try, but I need to know more than is obviously apparent from your site before I can use it for real.

Thank you for this. I wouldn't have known to even look. Now I wonder if there are TLD and registrar auditing and rating surveys.
- stick with .com
- avoid .tv, or any islands/small kingdoms
- .id is underfunded (lifetime domains, so no renewal fees)
- research anything else
I might be in the market for a forms service, and have been researching them a bit over the past few weeks. As a potential customer, here is the single biggest thing that made me instantly say no: free. Even worse it's unlimited free, not even freemium. That means either the service will sell my information, or the information of my customers (if not now, eventually), or that it's going to die shortly. And I don't wa…
On the other side, I'd love an indie-accessible service where I wouldn't pay more than a total cost of a cheap VPS and a domain for a single SaaS which forms like a 5 % of user experience. It seems that everything is either pay-with-privacy, or $100/year, with no middle ground, and that's sad for me as an indie. (Btw, I am trying to fit into this gap with a $1/mo subscription for a commercial-quality weather forecast…

> giving away your work for free undermines others' ability to make a living selling theirs. That's not his problem.
But it is. It’s called a race to the bottom. While it’s a normal price setting function of free markets that doesn’t mean its rational.

To make matters worse, the site is using third party trackers, so your data is already being abused the second you open with the site. Its also closed source. I may sound paranoid, but I won't be using the service.
In SaaS, you're not going to find many products that don't use trackers and are open source, as much as that may be philosophically interesting to see. I actually want a SaaS company to track my behavior so they see what's wrong, fix bugs, and improve the product as a whole.

Why do they need to use external services to track you?

The thing is, this is right next to "I wrote a SaaS product because the internet made me believe it'd make me rich" on the HN front page ... (Realistically your best bet is to be Pinboard: not rich, but a comfortable living, built up over long years, and by picking up several waves of refugees from collapsing VC-funded competitors)
