Simple Ops
Simple website performance monitoring
While i was trying to measure performance for Visa List, i found all the solutions are paid or just uptime monitoring, so i decided to build one for free with performance and uptime monitoring.
Usually B2B growth is very slow and I have read lot of stories where it took people around an year to gain traction.
I think I have been lucky so far to have these many customers in such a short period.
Simple Ops is already crossed breakeven as is profitable now. Next goal is to reach 100 customers probably in next few months.
Since launch, it's grown to 1400+ users and 50+ customers. Now i have added the most requested feature API & Server monitoring.
Whether you’re a developer, non-technical business owner or just handling a personal website, adding Simple Ops can be the simplest & most effective way to keep your API's and servers healthy.
There’s nothing quite as frustrating as your favorite website going down. Simple Ops monitors websites like yours and sends you alerts via text or email if your site is offline or slow, so you can fix the problem before anyone notices.
I would really appreciate it if you can check it out and review it on ProductHunt. If you like it and think it's useful, do share it with your friends and colleagues and help me spread the word.
It's been almost 3 months are have crossed 1300 users mark. Also, I have been working hard to add the most requested feature for Simple Ops.
The new features that I have added are
- API monitoring
- Server Monitoring
- Add Subdomain monitoring
- Added Options for Status Code, Http request types, timeout
- Mobile Performance monitoring
- Choose Ping interval and monitoring locations for location
Now you can monitor websites, APIs and servers all from one place!
If you haven't already, you can monitor websites and get real-time alerts for FREE using https://simpleops.io/
When I first decided to build simpleops.io, I set a goal of getting 10K users. Six weeks into it I have completed 10% of that goal. Yay! 😎
From what I gather from my fellow indie makers is that SaaS is hard.
Relativel difficulty in building different types of product
EBooks < Course < B2C < B2B
I'm completely new to B2B market, even though the market is small, its a niche and has huge potential.
Hopefully i will reach the 5K milestone soon!
I wanted to take a break from visalist in January to work on http://simpleops.io but because of the pandemic, i ended up working on coronavirus tracker for a while. I launched it in july and o boy, i never expected this! Got $7300 from pro customers for SaaS during first month 🤩
I guess simpleops is going to be famous in china before anywhere else. Got featured on another top tech site in china. http://SimpleOps.io is on a roll Fire

After spending the last 6 months trying to build Simple Ops, I’m happy to announce the launch today. Keep your website fast and never lose another customer using Simple Ops which does website performance and uptime monitoring.
I would really appreciate it if you can check it out and review it on ProductHunt. If you like it and think it's useful, do share it with your friends and colleagues and help me spread the word.

Speedy websites everyone!
This week has been crazy for simpleops.io
👨💻Got 15K views from HackerNews
🐦10K views from my tweet

I have started working on SimpleOps 5 weeks back and was done with the beta version last week. I'm yet to do a product launch and as its a complicated product, im running it in beta.
So how did this happen? How do you get your initial users? Its actually something everyone knows but only few actually do. Talk about your product even if its not 100% ready, tell what you doing differently. This also acts as a feedback loop and validation for the things that you are building.
All this while i have been tweeting about the new features, design and everything that i have been doing for Simple Ops. A lot of people liked this and signed for Simple Ops. This reconfirms my assumption. Performance is pain point to a lot for a lot of makers and I'm going to fix that pain by simplifying #DevOps
These are the features that i talked about when i was working on them and this helped a lot.
