I got tired of checking 5 dashboards, so I built a simpler one

Hacker News

Hey, I’m Felix, an 18-year-old student from Austria. I’ve built a few small SaaS projects, mostly solo, and I kept running into the same small but persistent problem. Whenever I wanted to understand how things were going, I’d end up jumping between Stripe, analytics, database queries, logs, and cron scripts. I even built custom dashboards and Telegram bots to notify me about certain numbers, but that just added more things to maintain. What I wanted was something simpler: send a number from my backend and see it on a clean dashboard. So I built a small tool for myself. It’s essentially a very simple API where you push numeric metrics with a timestamp, and then view them as counters, charts, goals, or percentage changes over time. It’s not meant to replace analytics tools. I still use those. This is more for things like user counts, MRR, failed jobs, or any metric you already know you want to track without setting up a full integration. Some intentional constraints: - no SDKs, just a basic HTTP API - works well with backend code and cron jobs - stores only numbers and timestamps - flexible enough to track any metric you can turn into a number It’s still early and very much an MVP. I’m mainly posting to get feedback: - does this solve a real problem for you? - what feels unnecessary or missing? - how would you approach this differently?
