RE price. I found the "plans" where you pay for things you didn't need rather off-putting from other services, especially in our pay-for-what-you-eat CPU/bandwidth/etc "cloud" (cringe) world. Higher price -> trust is a tricky one.

RE network & dashboard: Good plan. It does seem silly not to show we are using it too.

RE go; go is really not experimental anymore, and has been an excellent choice for this kind of concurrent problem. We had something similar in Erlang (internally) and this has been so much faster to build and is much simpler. I get your point and wouldn't normally mention it, but if anyone would be interested it's here :)

Thanks for your feedback.

You're using Go...but...it's ERLywarn. So how can it possibly be written in anything but Erlang. See ErlyWeb, Erlware, etc.

I'm sorry but the name of your product needs to change to Gowarn. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

(Best of luck, looks good and not overpriced like some freemium alternatives)
