Ha! Clever idea, but for many it's going to be insanely noisy. Idea: could you add a setting to only ding every X visitors, @ivbran? For example, if a site gets 5k visitors on a typical day, perhaps it dings for every 1,000th visit?

@rrhoover Hey Ryan, thanks for stopping by! :) This certainly sounds like a great idea for future development. My idea was to be lean from the very beginning, starting with a small target group - early stage websites. That's why there are no settings in this version. :)

@rrhoover @heinzawhtet This is in the roadmap, yes. In fact, the idea of Startup Bell came from this well-established practice in some of the sales teams, where they ring the bell whenever somebody from the team closes the deal. :)

Love this. But will need a sound other than the doorbell so that my dog doesn’t go insane all day long.

@graeme_fulton ha! Not bad! I thought about different sounds based on different actions and achieved goals on the website, but this is interesting as well :D

Coda

Nice! We did something similar for the Coda launch except we had a physical bell ring each time someone signed up. Was super fun so can definitely see the value in something like this, especially for things like launch day. Oleg, one of the engineers who rigged it up, blogged about how he set up the physical bell: https://medium.com/@osv/the-coda...

Love the simplicity of this. Give me a volume option and I'll be happy! The bell is way too loud when I'm listening to Spotify. Dog keeps barking at me. :)
