Open Metrics Dashboards: still useful?

Question

Hi all!

I got curious about adding an open metrics dashboard to . However, I'm unsure if they're actually useful?

They bring transparency, but maybe the exposure to competitors and copycats isn't worth it? I know   was the one who really popularize this but I'm unsure about applying it to smaller projects.

Have you tried building one and promoting it yourself? What are your conclusions?

The Scrapingbee guys used to share everything, until they hit a certain MRR threshold. You can do the same. I probably will too. In my case, I have no audience, so my open dashboard is basically invisible. Zero risk I think.

Saw Pieter using Simple Analytics' open dashboard on the fly thing. If I’m not mistaken, he was inspired by Baremetrics. Some businesses are still riding the open startup wave: https://baremetrics.com/open-startups

haha good one, I could vibe code it while I work on my real products. I'm following the shotgun approach, I'll build 12 startups in 12 months like good old levesio did, so I'll re use the open startups component because in many projects. For my specific use case I feel like it worths it

So if it’s invisible, is it worth it to build? :D
