August 17, 2022 Super thrilled to launch

Pingist was launched a few days ago and I'm super excited to be on the venture looking for the first paid customer.

I'm a developer of 11 years experience, but 0 experience with marketing, so this will really push my boundaries which I'm looking forward to!

    Nice tool Morris! :)
    I like your idea and how you designed your site.
    I recently helped an early-stage product in a similar niche add $600 MRR in 2 months. Can give you hand with marketing and sales strategy, just drop me a DM on Twitter.

    Looks like you're running a HEAD query on the URL I put in. It's actually a GET endpoint so it's reporting a failure. Perhaps you could let me configure the VERB.

    I think I'm part of your target audience. Here's a few notes:

    1. Website is very nice, I immediately understand what your app does.
    2. Pricing is a bit high, but I think it's good to start high and then lower it later if you can't convert people
    3. I don't like filling in registration forms, would prefer a Google Login.
    4. Pricing should be in USD, most people aren't in the UK.

    Very cool, I signed up! Good luck mate!

      Hey bud! Thanks so much and really great to see you are a potential customer.

      In response to your comments:

      1. That's great to hear, thank you :)
      2. We have loads of different plans to fit each of our customers use cases. I can see that our highest few plans could sounds pricey, but for those customers we are potentially running up to 57600 requests per day on their sites (200 sites every 5 minutes, and we are looking to run more frequently than each 5 minutes in the near future).
      3. SSO is coming very soon :)
      4. I can get behind that and agree - I'll look to change to USD within a week!

      Thanks for the feedback!

      Regarding running a HEAD query, this is true! We don't currently offer content load speed, again, this is something we are looking to add to our feature set. I've run 1000s of tests to GET endpoints, and other than a few oddities, all come back with a 200 response. More than happy to look further into the issue for you though! We have a little "Support" button in the bottom right of the dashboard, please feel free to let me know which endpoint you are having trouble with and I'll run it through my tests!

      Thanks so much for reaching out :)

I wanted to build a platform that will stretch my skills a little and be a tool I would use for all of my clients projects.
