There have been different iterations of what Unubo is as a product. This time around we went back to basics by ensuring first, that we create something people actually want.
Today we start from the ground up. We begin at zero.
Over the years working on several projects, I always found it cumbersome to log into different tools to check for metrics:
💰 Stripe for revenue information.
🗞 Mailchimp to check on the latest campaign numbers.
📈 Mixpanel or Google Analytics for traffic.
🐦 Twitter isn’t for metrics as such, but it’s important to see if you’ve been mentioned.
Getting a complete picture on how I was progressing involved me logging into all relevant apps manually, get the latest numbers, then put them onto a slide, Google Sheet, shared doc, or similar.
Not particularly elegant so I always thought: “Isn’t there something that does this automatically?”
Through speaking with founders I discovered that many of you work the same way, doing things like this manually.
The current solutions, whether it’s a business intelligence, data visualisation, or general dashboard tool all follow the same approach. You choose from 100s of data sources, and are then forced to build a dashboard. Yes, build one.
Once you get over that, they usually come with a learning curve, and are out of reach price wise for many small to medium businesses, whereas the cheaper solutions just don’t do enough.
We take a different approach, focused on simplicity.
Unubo uses data from tools you use on a daily basis, then automatically presents it in a way that makes it easier for you to track progress across different areas of your startup.
Rather than the word “dashboard” we say “view”. A dashboard tries to show you many things at once, whereas views are designed to offer you simply designed, quick glances at the metrics that matter. Think of views thoughtfully curated alternatives to dashboards.
Today we launch with 4 views:
💰 Growth: Track how you’re growing.
🗞 Newsletter: Track how your newsletter is performing.
🐦 Social: See if you’ve been mentioned on Twitter.
📈 Traffic: Track website traffic.
This is just the beginning. Over time we’ll add more views, meaning more data. Unubo will learn from this data, helping you make increasingly more complex decisions about your business, where you can ask questions such as:
“Will we meet our revenue goals this quarter?”
“Can we afford 10 more engineers right now?”
That’s for future phases though. For now, we want to enable you to watch the results of your efforts compound over time, and focus on building products, not dashboards.
@leandro8209 Quick question: can we only plug in the tools you displayed (e.g. only Mailchimp for newsletters) or do you also communicate with other tools?
@leandro8209@clo__s Yes, for now it's only those tools. On the backend we're setup in a way that it's quite simple to add more. As people request them, we'll add!
Very excited for this launch! Unubo is very much needed for founders, to have a birds-eye view on the product and growth.
Don't you have free trails to see the product in action?
@angrigoryan__ Thank you, Anna! Not at the moment. We'll see if we can support that sort of sales cycle in the future. There is a live demo you can check out, which is a direct reflection of what you'll get.
Very excited for this launch! Huge congratulations Leandro! It really is important for founders to be able to have an overview of the stats to make informed decisions. Excited to see the growth of Unubo! 🥳
Looks fantastic! Logging in to every platform to check how you're doing with various metrics can be super time consuming so this is ideal. Do you have any plans to allow making specific views public, could be nice for those who #buildinpublic :D
@jamesdevonport Thank you, James! Yes, I was thinking of a "home view" where you can select which metrics from the different views you want to display. That home view will be sharable.
this is fantastic! I might just stop checking and refreshing multiple tabs 🤔. I like how you reduce the noise around key product metrics and showcase the important information straight.
do you have a public roadmap? and what are the integrations coming up next?
@boristane Cheers, Boris! No public roadmap at the moment. I'm currently selecting a tool that will help with gathering feedback. We'll use that to inform us what to integrate next.
Running a startup myself, it's always helpful to have metrics for accountability and to reference when making choices!
I've added some feedback over the landing page and demo here if it helps for future updates :)
Keep up the great work, congratulations launching on Product Hunt!
@christian_piponides Just watched the full video. Really appreciate the effort you put into it. You made some valid points that I'll be going over once this launch is done 🙏🏾
congratulations @leandro8209! As a marketer, I've experienced all the same issues trying to organize information from lots of different sources. Would be cool to see CRMs integration too, especially for B2B folks out there :)
Congrats! I really like how you're starting at the basics and then move from there. Two things that come to mind when checking the demo: graphs and having all the views on a one pager.
Looks neat. But seems annoying that the info you want in one place is split into 4 different tabs within the app. Would have liked to have seen it all displayed on one page (would be interesting to see stats like mailchimp subscriber count vs stripe revenue vs GA page views over time for example). Otherwise I may as well open up 4 tabs to view the data on each site.
@eliezer_steinbock1 Hey Elie, fair comment! A few people have shared a similar sentiment, so I'm thinking about something called a "home view" where you can select which metrics from the different views you want to display, to be seen as soon as you sign in.
If you know Leandro at all, you probably know that he values simplicity above most things. This is obvious with his approach to product—a philosophy of simplifying what needn't be complicated. Bravo and congrats!
So thrilled about this launch @leandro8209, congratulations! I love your get to the point approach. No fuss. Exactly what founders & makers need when it comes to analytics.
As an UX designer, I'm so curious about such simplify dashboard designing🤔
Multiple charts displaying is so popular especially for traders because they can see all current situation at a glance without many clicks to open, close, open, close,,,.
If the user goal of this product is using to decide something like checking revenue goals or hiring, I guess it'd be better to show all necessary metrics in one place without many clicks if not, just to sort out where the data is.
@shiho_takeuch Hi there, thanks for your comment! I'm thinking about something called a "home view" where you can select which metrics from the different views you want to display when you sign in.
