A way to live your 'data-life' proactively, avoid the noise and just monitor what you need to know about.

+1 yeah, talk about the solution and make it dead easy simple, keep a very simple scope and make simple features work extremely well.

I've managed to climb to the top of my "industry" through doing the same, all the other competitors talk about what they technology they use etc, people dont care.. they just want a really simple fast sexy solution.

I loved XFCE4 for probably a decade, but the constant CPU usage bugs made me switch to KDE Plasma, havent looked back.

I had to abandon XFCE due to some issue with aging XFCE4 libraries and high cpu problems, switched to KDE Plasma 5.x,. got 50% longer battery lifetime and havent looked back.

They need to focus on these kinds of problems, not on adding new features, otherwise I would have stayed.

https://changedetection.io - identified a niche where there was only closed source solutions that were _extremely_ expensive for what it is, and all other opensource products seemed very 'under-cooked' and talked more about the technology (language, web framework etc) they used rather than the problem they solved.

All other opensource solutions were also too hard to install and lacked features. Added many features that easily outpace the closed source competition

Made it easy to run/use/download/modify to get the numbers up then and sell subscription/hosted solution for those who dont have time. Also taking on many interesting custom solutions for people and companies that I've met through this project.
