#burnchart.io

##Concept

GitHub Burndown Chart as a service. Public repos are free, for private access auth via GitHub and pay.

##Notes

• payment gateways in Canada: Shopify, Chargify list; I get free processing on first $1000 with Stripe
• start people on a Community plan showing them a comparison table to upgrade to a better offering
• community (open source, local storage), business (private repos, firebase)
• keep discussion going via gitter or have people comment from the app via helpful
• credit card form ux from Designmodo
• workers: using a free instance of IronWorker and assuming 5s runtime each time gives us a poll every 6 minutes. Zapier would poll every 15 minutes but already integrates Stripe and FB.
• worst case scenario I provide even Small Business plan for free and provide a better experience
• $2.5 Node.js PaaS via Gandi with promo code PAASLAUNCH-C50E-B077-A317.
• let people vote on features they want to see fast: tally.tl.
• use readme.io for documentation
• have people pay outright or call me instead telling me what they'll use it for and they will get 6 months free; the idea is to get feedback from them; also, if they want to leave/close account/have not used app in a while, give them more free months for their feedback on how to make the app better; feedback is more important than money in early stages

##Plans

###Community

• your repos are saved locally
• no auto-updates to milestones, everything fetched on page load
• no private repos

###Business

• you need to pay for a license to use the app for business purposes
• repos, milestones saved remotely
• auto-update with new information
• private repos
