This feels like a rant, but I've posted my https://trackingco.de/ here multiple times, which has very similar proposal (and is cheaper) but never got a single line of feedback.

Here is some feedback:

The example (https://trackingco.de/public/9ykvs7rk) does not work for me. Also, the first time I visited the site I saw Lightning Bitcoin and then left. You lost me as soon as I read that because I'm not interested in that. I was just trying to find a simple (but useful) analytics service that's easy to use.

Well, it didn't have anything to do with Bitcoin until some months ago. I just changed that because no one was using it anyway so it might as well serve as another Bitcoin experiment no one uses.

The example should work, however. Well, I guess your feedback was very useful. Thanks!

Some more (constructive) feedback: way too much text. The design of the landing page does matter (even for developers :) some of us at least). There should be a better way to convey the message.

I've changed the landing page twice. Before the current "minimalist" design I had one that was full of colors and partial screenshots. Made no noticeable difference in engagement :P

The live demo doesn't work that is linked on the main page.

I feel your pain. You should fix your live demo link (https://www.dropbox.com/s/z3qceg8mg86n5m1/Screenshot%202018-...).

Another bit of feedback is to draft on as many related stories as you can here in HN (like you are doing now).

Thank you very much.
