Ask HN: To go open source or not to go open source.
Struggling to raise last $13,000 needed to stick a new UI (and JS) on the site -
http://vanillamonitor.com
So perhaps, it's time to give up, and perhaps, release this as open source?
Here is the new look I intend to stick on it

And the description of what the software actually does

- pestaa 14y agoWe need more software designed like this.
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoWhy? I think your design is fine for an initial minimum viable product. Furthermore, I think the product looks interesting. I don't doubt there is a market for something between http://monitor.us http://monitor.us and Nagios, especially one with a clean, simple interface. My advice would be to forget the redesign, get some minimal set of functionality working really well, turn off the rest, and start a beta. I'd be interested in participating in that beta. EDIT: Feel free to contact me if I can help (with advice or a beta). My email is in my profile. I recently went through the process of finding a low-cost monitoring solution for a few servers so can give feedback in that regard.

- ashraful 14y agoHi. I am a designer and front-end developer and I could probably help you out with designing and implementing the new UI. Email me at inlith@gmail.com
