Looking for UI / UX help for a metrics aggregation platform
A bit about myself:
I'm a developer, trying to break into the indie hacker way of life (a better way to working on a side project, that hopefully replaces my current job :) ). I have experience with both frontend (React, GraphQL, etc.) and backend (NodeJS, GCloud etc.)
A bit about what I'm building:
Most of the web based small businesses, use multiple SAAS products, each having their own metrics and reporting dashboards. I want to unify the dashboards into a single useful one, which provides a top level view of what's happening in the company. An example could be, an online book seller could use Google Analytics for tracking their website usage, Paypal / Stripe for taking payments, Facebook pages for promoting their content. Having metrics from all these services delivered as a Monday morning email would be useful for the small business owners.
Who am I looking for?
I suck at UI / UX, so looking for a front-end person with a product mindset to help lead the visual side of things.
Agree with the comments regarding competition, I’d suggest if you tackle this you go very niche. My thoughts - Analytics for social influencers and must be mobile app
Hi @hackerone! Love your idea but there are tons of Business Intelligence or BI dashboards that are out there and all you have to do plug n play the APIs. Just do a search for "BI dashboard tools".
However, if you're truly wanting to build something, I'd be to consult with you and see what we can come up with.
Cheers!
I am also thinking about this problem but still researching whether it's business-viable.
Personally, I am running my Shopify app with a SaaS model (< $1K MRR) so I will manually check conversion rate, churn rate, etc by visiting shopify, GA, etc. Just do back-and-forth between them.
At the moment, I am not sure WHO will be paying for it. I have this problem but I will not pay for it given that my revenue is so small. My app's problem is more about how to convert more free users to paid users. But I don't know how.
I found that geckoboard and klipfolio look doing well. A tech guy created a product called Everview but he is struggling. From his landing page, I saw that he had no idea who he was selling to.
