Show HN: API 2 KPI – a simple KPI dashboard solution for Startups/Side projects

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm Russ and I would like to introduce Api 2 Kpi.

Whenever I work on side projects, I often find myself building bespoke dashboards inside of my app to report on various key measurements (eg. Num new users today).

I don't want to spend lots of money on a tool that has 100s (or 1000s) of integrations with other system - because typically, my APIs already connect to all my data providers, be it my mongo DB, my stripe account etc. Therefore, I find it simpler to just write a quick endpoint to expose the data I want to display on the dashboard.

I am writing Api 2 Kpi to save me the effort of having to create dashboards (with polling features, historic data with graphs, notifications) for every new project I create.

So, I figured, if its useful to me, perhaps it will be useful to others. If not, or people don't think its worth £7.99 for unlimited dashboards and data sources, that's fine :-)

I'm currently about 50% through development. Please feel free to leave any pearls of wisdom in the comments, or catch me on twitter @kinorouk.

Thanks all!
