Higher level product concept aside, here is some minor visual feedback. I think one or more images overflow the main content container, causing the site to look broken on my iPhone 6 plus. I don't know how much cross platform testing your done, but it's a data point. I wasn't too excited to read the marketing copy as a result. I don't love your logo. It's a book on a cloud with some kind of diagonal line for some rea…

That is some good feedback, we have a bounty open to revise the "responsiveness" of our site. To make it work a bit better cross platform. We move pretty fast I doubt it would take us very long to have that fixed up.

Few more options for "IFTTT for DevOps": http://docs.factor.io/ http://stackstorm.com/ http://www.airstack.io/ https://www.cloudmunch.com/

All interesting projects with their own twist on it. The space we are aiming to hit can be equated to IFTTT + Nagios.

I can't speak for others, but I can for Factor.io’s twist... (1) It is Open Source + Hosted + Pro. (2) The recipes ("workflows") can include multiple steps, sequential, and parallel activities; not just limited to if-this-then-that. (3) Workflows are defined programmatically using a Ruby-DSL. (4) You can create both actions and listeners (like events/monitors), though some of the others support this too. (5) It's been around for 2+ years, built with feedback from 100+ dev teams, and used by 1000s.

I think your pricing is honestly too low. First, nobody here is complaining that your pricing is too high. Second, when evaluating pricing, it's useful to ask "what serious customer would pay $5/mo but not $15 or $25 if we are providing real value to them?"

I run Cronitor.io, a monitoring service for scheduled jobs. In our case, we have about as many users on our mid-priced plan as we do on our entry level plan. The message our subscribers send us is: we're not shopping on price, your fees are reasonable, just keep building your product.

Interesting project! Can you tell a bit more about cronitor.io? Is this a side project or a full time project? How many users are using your service? 100, 1000, 10000 ?
