    • As with most comments, I'd say very slick and straight to the point demo. The typing text did kinda annoyed me abit - it's probably a give or take as I don't have patience…

  • Landing page intro text overlay is engaging

    From 2 comments

    • Looks really awesome, nice work, the little walk through was great as well. A few comments: 1) On the walkthrough my browser wasn't quite wide enough so the text was scrolling…

  • Intro animation is annoying and cannot be skipped

    From 3 comments
    • The intro text is nice, but is there some way to stop it? I just wanted to click around in the interface and then read about it afterwards.

    • Love it...I found the intro annoying and obstructive though. For something like that I'd want to just jump directly to a usable demo, maybe with some tooltips or other explanation.

    From 1 comment
    • Looks awesome, I'll probably install and play around with it for my personal project. That said, I'm not sure your pricing is aligned correctly. Check out Patio11's excellent…

    • We're going to stick with 3 months for now, our idea being that we want to keep costs low so the product is pretty affordable to everyone. We're still debating how the UX for…

    From 2 comments

  • Java APM support

    From 2 comments
    • This looks nice. Are you supporting APM for Java containers (Tomcat / Jetty / JBoss) as well? JavaAgent approach could help get a lot of detailed analysis for JVM apps.

    • Having a Java SDK is on our roadmap, once it's out we will let you know.
