Was investigating working on something similar. Will be interesting to see how you do. Good luck. It's a crowded space for an unsexy kind of product. How have you reached out to potential buyers?

Thanks. Yep, agree with you re "crowded space for an unsexy kind of product" :)
So for now it's Slack groups, Indiehackers, and some from platforms like BetaList, HackerNews.
Currently featured on PH - so let's see how it will go :)

So you can integrate ApiChecker with your workflow easily :)
Reached more than 500 visitors on the site this month, but only few signups. Will investigate the low conversation rate .
Also posted about product on diferent sites:
- HackerNews
- Betalist, BetaPage, Launchingnext and all similar platforms.
Also trying to keep Twitter up to date as well.

That isn't a terrible sign up rate especially for the tool you created.
Do you have any numbers from google analytics for each site?
What subreddits did you post to?
What's the plan moving forward? How will you market it?

Thanks for your comment @volkandkaya!

Hope you right. + some traffic was coming from Twitter Ads (just have tried to promote it, but looks like it's just waisting money in this stage).Do you have any numbers from google analytics for each site?
Yes, have two set's of GA, one of landing, another one for application/product itself.-
Landing page (28d):
- Users 530
- Sessions 590
- Bounce rate 71%
-
Product/Application (28d):
- Users 65 (that even reach login/registration page)
- Sessions 71
- Bounce rate 1.35 %(?)
- Actually registered users: 2
- Paying customers: 0
While have only 2 external signups (that not friends, myself, etc).
And at least one user have tried all our features, but never went back :(What subreddits did you post to?
/r/SideProject
I actually already got some very good comments and suggestions from Redit. Also validated few features that was under TODO state, so can start work on it now.
I'm just reaching state when I want to pause add new features, until I will get confirmation that this is requited/will be useful from real users.What's the plan moving forward? How will you market it?
Want to get some feedback on product first, then have plan to get featured on ProductHunt, but before that - just want to get some initial feedback.
And in around ~month probably I can be featured on BetaList, BetaPage, Launchingnext (as I did't pay for this) - so hopefully this will generate some users as well.
After that will try to keep improving product and do some content marketing via blog/twitter/redit, etc. -

Happy to introduce huge improvement for Status Page functionality on ApiChecker.
Currently it support:
-
Show detailed graph with uptime, user can see uptime on different time ranges (24h, 7d, 30d, 90d) and also day by day (by hover mouse on specific date)
-
Showing information about last incidents automatically (optional and 5 last changes for now)
-
Showing information about last outage/downtime period - also can be disabled.
-
ApiChecker Subdomain with HTTPS support for each Status Page.
-
Google Analytics
-
Custom logo and page title
Implemented new feature - automatic SSL certificate monitoring!
Every API or WebSite monitor on ApiChecker will have SSL monitoring enabled by default (if your website or API started with https)
It was exciting day when I received notifications on Telegram about first registered user. He even created some application on ApiChecker - but he still not tried all features :(
