SilentFail
Detect when your app reports success but users don't actually get what they wanted
- Problem
- Apps often suffer 'silent failures': payment succeeds but account isn't upgraded, form submits but data isn't saved—no errors, no crashes, only discovered when users contact support. Developers lack automated detection for these issues.
- Solution
- Provide a lightweight embeddable verification script that checks whether the final state matches user expectations after critical business flows (e.g., account tier after payment, order status). If not, trigger alerts with context to help developers locate issues quickly.
- Users
- SaaS developers, ops teams, and product managers, especially in e-commerce and subscription apps.
- MVP
- JavaScript SDK to run simple state assertions after key actions; send email or webhook alerts on failure; pre-built templates for common flows (payment, signup, subscription change); dashboard for failure events.
- Revenue
- Usage-based pricing, free up to 10k events/month; paid from $20/month.
- Why now
- AI coding tools increase code volume and silent failure risk, while traditional monitoring doesn't cover business logic outcomes; indie developers can target this gap.
