Show HN: Easily monitor your Google Analytics metrics with Leftronic

I like the idea of being able to create a dashboard from selected Google Analytics metrics (I don't use Basecamp or any of the other datasources), and I also dig the design of the dashboard.

However, I don't see myself using this on a daily basis, but rather for creating a customized dashboard for a presentation (although it'd be nice to change the colors). As well, it'd be nice if you created new metrics that Google Analytics doesn't already provide.

Just curious, what would prevent you from using this on a daily basis? And what other new metrics would you like to see?

I only use Google Analytics out of all the datasources that you integrate with. I believe the value your product brings to the table is the aggregation of all those datasources. Hence, I wouldn't get much value out of it, as Google Analytics allows me to customize my dashboard, and provides more metrics.

Regarding my second point, I don't have any specific suggestions, but it was more related to my first point. If I don't use the datasource aggregation feature, then there currently is no added value for me to use your product on a daily basis. Some ideas would be to create more visual mashups of data, such as illustrating how a user got to your website, what they did, and for how long.

So to conclude, I wouldn't use it on a daily basis with my use case, however, you are probably going after a different market segment, is that right?

Yes, there would be more value for you if there was more than one data source that you were interested in - either a third-party source, or custom data you push using our API. =)

Would love to see a similar/complementary integration with New Relic.

Duly noted! =)

Second that ... NR is great, I'm in there way more than I'm in Google Analytics.

We are launching a new app that has a dashboard component and New Relic is part of the initial integrations offering. Also, Cloudkick. Check it out at www.streamerapp.com and let me know.

wow - I've been tasking an agency partner to build custom reports for a client, that is catered to manager and exec level, it's been quite expensive, and taking a while to get right. Just requested access to your app, can't wait for access - retweeted to get access "quicker" :)

thanks for sharing.

Clean and dynamic - great start. Multiple dashboards would be a great addition, like you mention in your FAQ.

Is a Salesforce feed a future option?

Thanks! Yes, Salesforce is in the works. What specifically would you like to see?

Awesome tool! something we wanted to build internally. Do you guys allow access to my DB? (like chart.io)

Hey Vivek! We have a push model, where you send the data to Leftronic using our API.

I know this is beta, but are any pricing details available? I didn't come across anything on their site.

It looks like a very useful service.

We'll be putting out pricing information very shortly! Please check back in a couple weeks!
