Congrats on the launch, I would use this for my smaller team. Why have a pricing page with no pricing on it though?


because they want to look at crunchbase and find out how much funding you got then charge you based off that.

I wish companies would boycott companies doing contact us for pricing


Well, then they would charge me pennies because the startup I work for has $0 funding :)


> I wish companies would boycott companies doing contact us for pricing

A lot of companies do, by simply never contacting them for pricing.


Thank you for the kind words and feedback.

If you email jj@rootly.com we can get you some pricing ASAP. It'll be dependent on number of users and level of support/onboarding/custom feature development required.

But if you're a small team, Rootly is powerful and ready to go out of the box with defaults and you might not require some of the custom stuff.

To answer your question directly, we customize each package for each individual customer on a bunch of variables.


I'm sorry, but if your pricing is too complex to write out on the pricing page so I can know upfront if it's even worth talking to you, I won't reach out to you. It also suggests that your pricing is simply too complex, and that would hurt me as a paying customer as well, as I wouldn't fully understand the invoices I receive from you.

Building a calculator that lets potential customers input their variables and you show what the pricing would do solves that problem fully, and takes minimal amount of time to implement.

That you haven't spent that short amount of time in order to be transparent, looks shady to me (and others, some of them even write the same in this comment thread), as otherwise you'd surely display your pricing upfront.


Thank you for the feedback, a calculator is a good suggestion! We realize there are a fair number of people that will be turned away by this, we'll see what we can do for a better middle ground.


I’d also suggest you have a free plan for very small teams. You can already see how many slack members they have. Make your tool so people just make it their default and then as the team grows the naturally start paying you up the tiers.


Thank you for the feedback.

Actually we did offer a free plan for up to 5 users and even 10 at one point. What we've found is the collaboration overhead during incidents at companies at that scale wasn't too useful and pivoted away. Instead we offer a 14-day trial so customers can get their feet wet without contacting us: https://rootly.com/users/sign_up.


You seem to have an implicit assumption that there will necessarily be some amount of "support/onboarding/custom feature development" needed.

For the vast majority of your users, I would expect the amount of installation-engineering required to be zero. For every big business on an Enterprise plan of a SaaS like e.g. Cloudflare, there are 10 or 20 accounts for customers just as big(!) who are on their Business plan — which is basically the same feature-set, but without any of the high-touch custom stuff. Because they don't need any of it, in order to get all the value they need from the SaaS.

In other words, it feels like you have an Enterprise plan, but no Business plan. It's pretty easy to construct one — just assume any high-touch stuff doesn't happen. What's the base cost, per user?


If there is no pricing, I will likely never return. If you cannot get your money right, how can I expect you will get anything else right?


Appreciate the feedback!


Was just looking for a solution like this to integrate with HomeAssistant. Looking forward to trying this out!


Would love to hear about your experience when you do so!


Same!


This is really impressive. I've been using Charles for the last decade which performs the same actions but takes more work to set up, especially around the root certificate installation process. Will definitely be adding this to my toolkit!


I was using Charles before I got locked up, which was before the Web went HTTPS everywhere. I tried using it the other day and had some real problems with the SSL setup. I ended up having to use Fiddler.


you got locked up? That's not something you hear on hacker news everyday, but something I often hear when I head home to see family during the holidays.


Yeesh. We both have a story there, it seems!


This seems like a neat project! I run a homelab and my container host runs Portainer & Caddy which is a really clean and simple docker-compose deployment stack. This tools seems like it does less than Portainer, so I am not clear on why it would be preferable - just because it is even simpler?


Absolutely agree, I switched to Caddy recently and the configuration is considerably easier than Traefik. Very simple TLS setup (including self signed certificates).


After some struggle I've managed to set up traefik with tags/docker socket so that services can "expose themselves" via tags in their service definitions - is there anything similar for caddy?


This was my first thought as well, an I'm American. Word to OP, this is a catchy title but I would be really careful going out of the gate with that kind of slogan.


I'm just being honest right now, and I know this is an unpopular opinion, but this is brilliant right now in this moment.

These are entrepreneurs. Their job is not to teach everyone melting pot kumbayah culture. Their job is to make money for themselves and their investors. After about 35 years of travel and living I'm intimately familiar with Africa and Asia. There are changes in Africa right now. Changes that feel much different than any changes I've lived through previously, and this product strikes a brilliantly resonant chord with those changes. People, particularly the 18-35 demographic in Africa, will eat this up. They get some black american and african celebrities along with someone like Wode Maya on this thing, and having blackoak would become a status symbol in Africa. At least among the young.

Sure, not great for global society, but awesome for business. Only people who don't realize how quickly Africa is growing would think otherwise.


> This was my first thought as well, an I'm American.

However, X for white people is often the default case and is left unsaid. As an American you should be well versed in this. No one is saying that non-black people cannot watch the content, the implication is that the content it is tailored for black people.


What makes it better? I've been using Streisand quite successfully, and the setup appears easier from the little I've read about Algo (haven't implemented myself yet)


Personally I like Algo because it also handles provisioning a dedicated VPS with some sane system defaults. It also sets up IKEv2 and Wireguard together, which makes it easier to have a multi-platform VPN out of the box without having to set up Wireguard & IPsec separately. It may not be what everyone wants though, Streissand is great in its own ways too.


Been using this thru Streisand [https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand] and can honestly say it is an excellent experience. Would highly recommend deploying through Streisand / Ubuntu 16 if you'd like to experiment (and run a production setup!)


Can anybody recommend good reading to catch up on the protests or history of Hong Kong vs. the mainland?
