You are correct. Accounts are basically number of managers that can access to the dashboard. Engineers tracked is the main business model.

Sorry that you felt that way. We had a few issues with our sign up flow, but that should be fixed now.

The ebook has additional content such as

- Mitigate Bus Factor

- Protecting Deep Work

- Avoiding Engineer Burnout

and explains each problem in detail.

> It would be useful if the web-site had a real case-study where they show all the features in action. Right now it looks like vaporware -- like one of those sites people put up to see if there is interest in an idea.

True. We'll add better images and case-study to avoid the confusion.

> And perhaps stuff like this should have on-site capability for enterprises that don't use github, gitlab and such?

I'm assuming you are talking about GitHub Enterprise, Gitlab Self-Managed and Bitbucket Server. We currently have support for Bitbucket Server and working on the rest.

Thanks for your comment. You might be correct.

What people on the internet are recommending is as long as the brand names would not be confusing it would be fine. The term "confusing" seems to be the tricky part. A trademark attorney would probably clarify it for us.

Haystack aggregates activity in git to give engineering managers more visibility into how their team's work. We came up with the idea when we realized how difficult it is to answer a simple question: 'Is the team doing better than we were 6 months ago?'. We realized how hard it is to not only visualize trends on their team but get actionable insights into the biggest areas to improve. Whether it's spending too much time in code review, taking on too much concurrent work, or even getting bogged down with technical debt; we wanted a tool that can not only help to spot issues but also alert us so we can take action. Introducing Haystack.

screenWidth and screenHeight is mainScreen's attributes. iOS devices have only one mainScreen. Maybe you meant the name could be changed as `mainScreenWidth`?
