Hello guys & girls, we are looking for a helping hand from the HN community (especially from people that run web apps that use the SaaS model)
We enable founders / CEOs to easily to track the financial performance of their web apps in order to make better business & product decisions.
Here's how it works: Companies can use our API to send us transactions (signups, payments, upgrades, downgrades, cancellations) occurring in their webapp. Our web interface then allows them to keep track of metrics such as churn, customer lifetime value and others.
We'd love to explore whether this is something that might be helpful to you and hear your feedback.

I just registered an account and I'm playing with it right now. I really, really like the getting started flow after the registration page. Just pick your programming language, then you're presented with the methods for installing the API wrappers, then you get your API key and help on making calls, handling errors, etc. I'm not left in the dark on how to proceed -- I'm shown what to do next.
The API wrapper for Python looks simple and easy to use. I could easily see myself using this for my next Web app.
For some reason on https://www.thesunnytrail.com/start, while logged-in, I am unable to click on the Stream, Overview, or Plans links below the logo. Also, there is no page title.
The settings page is dead-simple -- I like that.
Without being able to click on those other links that's all I could test so far. However, so far so good! Good luck, I think this has a lot of potential.
Edit: Played with the demo account. The dashboard looks good. I really like the stream feature. I think that's something I'd have open in a browser tab, going back to it every 10 minutes or so to refresh the page and see if anything has happened. It definitely appeals to the "stats update addict" in me.
