Are those users paying you? That's a ton of users compared to my side project (0 users).

The only advice I can give is that you don't gain anything by taking it down (and it looks like you are gaining traction with almost 3k users). Scale back if you aren't using that $80 to a smaller instance in the cloud. I'm paying $25/mo for mine. If you would rather sell, check out flippa.com

With 3k users, I would stick it out. Maybe ask for feedback, opportunities for growing, etc.

Edit: I see the beta is free.. I would grandfather those people in to a lifetime free plan (as long as they don't cancel) and start charging new users a per monthly price.

Walmart greeters won't exist!
I'd say keep it to one sentence. I heard some one say that if you can't tell me what your business does in one sentence, you haven't found the niche.

I wouldn't do any further penetration "testing" on the website you are talking about above. If you wanted to be polite, you could email the admin.

That being said, there's always a chance they could press charges against you for cyber crimes even though your intentions are to help them fix their site.

Hey guys,

I've been working on reports for Freshdesk customers. This is my poc, I know it's very ugly, but any feedback is overwhelmingly welcome.

Thanks!
