##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](http://www.shopify.com/payment-gateways/canada), [Chargify](http://chargify.com/payment-gateways/) list; I get free processing on first $1000 with [Stripe](https://education.github.com/pack/offers)
|
|
- 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](http://gitter.im) or have people comment from the app via [helpful](https://helpful.io/)
|
|
- [credit card form](http://designmodo.com/ux-credit-card-payment-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](http://tally.tl/).
|
|
- use [readme.io](https://readme.io/) for documentation
|
|
- send handwritten thank you cards to the first customers
|
|
- use [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/) as a GitHub Student (@bath.edu email) to get $100 in platform credits which translates to 20 months on the slowest (fast enough) dyno

##Plans
|
|
|
|
###Community Plan
|
|
|
|
- your repos are saved locally
|
|
- no auto-updates to milestones, everything fetched on page load
|
|
- no private repos
|
|
|
|
###Business Plan
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
###Free Forever Business Plan
|
|
|
|
Let me call you every 3 months to ask how you are doing, how you are using the software, what can I improve, and you will get 3 months usage for free. The idea is to keep in touch with the most loyal customers, to hear them say how great/shabby the app is. If they don't want to talk they can always pay for the Business Plan.
|
|
|
|
If someone stops using the app, send them an email asking them for a good time to call so I can make things right. They would get 3 months usage as well. |
