Your Startup Needs a Dashboard
I have to say, I'm in two minds about this.On one side- yes it's supercool to have a dashboard with maps and metrics and everything like that. And I can see it could be really useful too when something's going wrong.On the other hand, I'd be wary of building anything like this until I had a good number of customers, paying me money for a service. Is the product so complete (I would ask myself) and my users so happy, that we have no more important task than building a dashboard to look at in the office. Don't some simple email alerts cover most of the important bases (server down, site down etc) for now.Your startup needs customers (or failing that, users). Your users don't care if you've got a dashboard, they care that your product does what it says.
