Revive MetricVault
One dashboard for all your SaaS metrics — Stripe, Plausible, Mailchimp, and more
The opportunity
The aggregated-metrics dashboard is a real need for indie hackers, but the market has matured. The opportunity now is in AI-powered insights — not just showing MRR but telling you 'your churn rate is 2x higher than similar SaaS products in your price range' or 'based on your growth rate, you'll hit $10K MRR in 4 months if you maintain current conversion.' The dashboard is a commodity; the insight layer is the value.
What happened
What it was
MetricVault was a SaaS dashboard that aggregated metrics from multiple tools into one view. We built integrations for Stripe (revenue, MRR, churn), Plausible and Google Analytics (traffic), Mailchimp and ConvertKit (email subscribers), GitHub (stars, issues), and Twitter (followers). The dashboard showed everything in a clean grid with sparkline charts, trend arrows, and customizable date ranges. We also built alerts (notify me if MRR drops 10%), a team sharing feature, and a weekly email summary. We built all of this before launching publicly.
What worked
The Stripe integration was solid — MRR, churn, and revenue charts were accurate and fast. The UI was clean. Beta users who connected Stripe said the dashboard was better-looking than Baremetrics. The weekly email summary was the feature beta users mentioned most positively — they liked getting a snapshot without logging in.
Why it failed
We spent 5 months building 7 integrations, alerts, team features, and email summaries — without charging anyone or validating which features mattered. When we finally invited beta users, most connected only Stripe and sometimes Plausible. Nobody used the Mailchimp, GitHub, or Twitter integrations. Nobody set up alerts. Nobody used team sharing. We'd built a feature-complete product that addressed our imagined needs, not actual user needs. Meanwhile, ProfitWell (free), Baremetrics, and ChartMogul all shipped AI features and better onboarding during the same period. By the time we launched, we were behind the market despite months of work. We also never established pricing. We kept saying 'we'll charge once we have enough integrations,' which meant we never charged. After 5 months of evenings and weekends with zero revenue and no clear competitive advantage, we both burned out.
Key lesson
Building for 5 months without shipping, charging, or talking to users beyond our own assumptions. Every integration we built past Stripe was a guess. We should have launched with Stripe-only in week 2, charged $9/month, and let paying users tell us which integration to build next. Instead, we guessed wrong 5 times and built things nobody used.
