Had never heard of StatHat before but the simplicity of the system is appealing. The pricing is a bit steep for the hobby projects I have however..

Are there any opensource alternatives to StatHat? (I'm aware of Graphite and such but I found it overly complex for my needs).

There is dashing (http://dashingdemo.herokuapp.com/sample) but it is Ruby specific.

I'd love to see the visual appeal of Dashing that perhaps uses statsd as a backend (https://github.com/etsy/statsd/).

StatHat gives you 10 stats for free...

Great to see this. I've been using StatHat for a while now, tracking various analytics for http://www.soundslice.com/ such as number of signups per day, etc. It's great for ad hoc stats.

2 hours ago I used a StatHat graph to convince a Time Warner Technician they'd messed up my network, and I showed them exactly when it happened. Love it.

Looks really nice, but I don't see why this isn't just a mobile web page? What's the advantage of having a native app in this case?

Push alerts, for one. And we think the user experience is better native.
