Hey everyone,

Today, I'm launching http://bareproduct.com as the second product of my challenge to launch 12 startups in 12 months. I developed it over the last couple weeks and populated it with some data to be ready for launch day.

Bare Product is a place for brave makers to share numbers behind their products, and a source for curious people to follow a journey of success or failure. Of course you can find those numbers scattered around the web, but it wouldn't be nicer to have a single source for such information?

Do you have a website and you are open enough to share some private numbers? Go ahead and submit some of your interesting numbers. Also, You can generate few visitors regularly.

So, what do you guys think? Will be a place you like to share and follow numbers?

The website is down when I try to visit it
Sorry about that. Sometimes, it's down for a minute or two. Not sure why this happens; shared hosting.
I really like this concept as I've typically found this data extremely difficult to find. Traffic data is a little easier with tools like SimilarWeb and SEMRush, but finding verified revenue data is difficult. Here are a few questions/comments that I had at first glance:

1) The site went down after I tried to login.

2) Can anyone submit data? Do they have to have a source?

3) It would be helpful to have filters for viewing the data.

4) You could consider adding a box for categories that the users could input. For example, you could have users select web apps as a category.

5) Personally, I'd have hesitations about submitting my data. You might get more data if users could submit under a general category or psuedonym, without disclosing the name of their business to the public.

Hope this helps!
