After a year of struggling, my startup is now open source

"we have a great product but it's very hard to sell" - how can that be true. If it's a great product it would sell.

Obviously nobody in their right mind would hand over their ssh keys to you.

Also the name probably puts some people off. I also don't see any need for what the product does.

"Never type the same commands into multiple terminal windows again!" - I can easily do that already with ssh (or clusterSSH) - I don't want a UI for server commands, I want to script this stuff. When you analyze a little deeper, I think you'll see why the product isn't selling. I hope you are able to make a go of it, but my gut instinct tells me that dashboards and apps like yours are too hard to make into anything substantial.

Well Commando.IO has a hosted version. But I don't believe that rakes Command.IO in much money. If people had more trust, Commando.IO would be covered in cash. It's a great product!

I like how your response to criticism is to ignore it, and say how great your product is in the third person.
