ladies and gentlemen, introducing @logbeat_com 🙂 this smart app will do the product analytics for you. it will crawl your entire SaaS and set up events automatically. the events will be batched and sent directly to your Discord/Slack channel. no need to visit monstrous dashboards. no need to set up. no need to pay tricky "events-based" fees. it is in the past!! throw in as script, pay a fixed monthly amount, and forget about the problem of not knowing what is going on. i'm already using it on my own SaaS (@Paracast_io) and i'm having tears of happiness in my eyes 🥹 we are launching this product this week. if you want to get access to the early bird pricing, join the waitlist here: logbeat.com Thanks for your attention!

I've partnered with @johnrushx to fix product analytics 😎😎😎 The problem: you run a SaaS. You want to know what is going on (clicks, sales, errors etc). Today it is just impossible. Not hard, impossible. Here is why and how we gonna fix it:

Imagine having the essential data of all your SaaS, side projects, blogs at your fingertips. A central monitoring service for every thing an indie maker uses. This is what I'm building rn 🤓 My new app is called Logbeat. It will aggregate events from all the services you are already using and send organized notifs on your phone/email/discord/slack channel. No need to open 10 tabs to check all. No need to mess with Zapier. No need to worry if you are missing a problem or a growth opportunity.

There is a huuuge source of startup ideas that makers are missing out: niched-down Zapiers. Zapier is a builder, not a problem solution: - Learning curve is steep. - Takes time configuring and debugging. - Takes time maintaining (complicated workflows break often). - Requires users to be creative to invent workflows. Using Zapier for complex tasks is not easy. That gives us makers an infinite possibilities to create a business!!! 🤩 What you do is just pick one of the Zapier workflows and make a separate tool just for that purpose. Let's look at an example: my new project, the all-in-1 SaaS analytics (@logbeat_com). It integrates with all the possible event sources a startup founder is already using (see the screenshot), processes the data and sends digestible reports to the users. Can you do it in Zapier? Technically, yes. But you do not want to do it because it is too hard to create such a workflow from scratch. Perhaps you can use a Zapier template for that. But even if there is one, is it maintained? How to get updates for the template? What if it breaks after an update? What if API changed? The answer for all these questions: it will go bad 😁 And you will need to spend time maintaining it or hire a person to do that (oh, and you will also end up paying $$$ for events, whereas my SaaS is flat-priced). A niched-down service has none of those problems because the author of the tool takes care of users. The author knows the problems and knows what a user need. Users pay for solving their pain, not for getting access to a builder. Ah, and the sweetest part. A niched down tool is easier to grow 😋 Imagine this question on Reddit: "what do you do for all-in-1 SaaS analytics?”. Is “use Zapier” a good recommendation? No, because everybody knows Zapier and the person is asking for an advice because they do not want to mess up with Zapier. Is “use Logbeat” a good advice? Yes, because it solves the problem. People will share your app organically because it solves a problem. But they do not share Zapier because it just adds problems 😁 So if you need a SaaS idea, just open zapier(.)com/templates, navigate to the “featured” tab and pick any. All those are proven to have the demand (otherwise they’d not be featured). All those can be easily outcompeted by you because you will sell a solution, not a builder. Good luck!!!! 💪💪

As an SaaS maker, I want to know what is happening with my project. I used to monitor Stripe dashboards 👀, server logs 👀, check AWS 👀, make custom DB queries 👀. After I finally got irritated of opening 10 tabs to see what is going on, I made a simple hack. I started sending important events to a Discord channel. And it kinda worked. I got notified about critical errors, new sign-ups, sales. Now I understand my SaaS in moment. I enjoyed that setup! 😀 But as I grew to ~100 MAU, I quickly became overwhelmed. Then I realized I needed a bird's eye view: historical trends, charts, a way to compare two events and find correlations.

What really blocked my previous SaaS growth from $16k and beyond is missing a big picture 👀 ⤬ I did not know which page templates people were using the most. ⤬ I did not know which form integrations were preferred by paid users. ⤬ What is the correlation between a new big feature (e.g. blogs) and sign_ups count? So I was going 100% blindly. That was totally crazy. I was lucky my intuition was somehow aligned with the users' needs. It worked for some time. But at ~50k users/$16k MRR my intuition was not enough. The business started to stagnate. Stagnation means death, because while you are not moving up, your competitors do. I sold the SaaS to a better businessman (@johnrushx) and now the things are good. But I learned my lesson. I need data. I need stats. I need numbers. I need charts. I need correlations. Not to follow them blindly, but to align my intuition to the reality and make better decisions. This is why I'm starting a new SaaS which is called @logbeat_com I'm building it for my own needs and for the needs of indie makers who have ~100-10,000 MAU. Logbeat will gather data from all the main sources: Stripe, Sentry, Google Webmaster Console, Paddle, Ahrefs, your app (via SDK) and send it into one digestible feed. You will see the feed of the events and categorize them. Oh, and the most important, and compare events to each other via charts!!! 🤓 It will be a simple tool, but super useful. Current status: WIP.
