So the struggle was entirely technical? If you were only working on this a year and made enough revenue to work on it full-time, it seems more successful than most startups!

That way you would control the software load and be able to manage the quality of the product. And you could use a PPA to manage updates etc.
I'd be really interested to know if you considered this but did not do it and would like to hear the obstacles.
No one wants to give us SSH keys to their server. So we have a great product but it's very hard to sell.
Obviously nobody in their right mind would hand over their ssh keys to you.
Also the name probably puts some people off. I also don't see any need for what the product does.
"Never type the same commands into multiple terminal windows again!" - I can easily do that already with ssh (or clusterSSH) - I don't want a UI for server commands, I want to script this stuff. When you analyze a little deeper, I think you'll see why the product isn't selling. I hope you are able to make a go of it, but my gut instinct tells me that dashboards and apps like yours are too hard to make into anything substantial.
Let that be a lesson for the startup people out there.
I work for Bank of America. There's stuff on our servers we don't let other teams in our building have access to.
