I have to say, I understood what this is really fast when I saw the README. It's really a great idea. I'dve been all over it before I :-) :-) retired.

It's going to save growing companies a fortune, by helping cancel promptly unused money-sucking accounts across the SaaS multiverses.

I just hope it's easy to use for superbusy founders, tech people now riding a success wave. Because those are often the people who do the account-cleanup job. If this tool is a pain in the *s to use, there's even more time down the hopper.

It's almost impossible for people like us to teach ourselves to delegate by inflicting pain on ourselves. And saving big money is worth some pain, amirite? Been there. Done that.

But HERE's an incentive to delegate:

* grab the most talented devops person you know. * tell them about this open-source project * delegate to them this account-cleanup PITA * invite them to donate time to the open-source project and give them time to do so. * but they still have to do the actual cleanup regularly. * stand back and watch the growth of a REALLY USABLE open source money-leak-hunting project.

Every single YCombinator portfolio company would benefit from this. You VC guys? Get some really smart interns to work on this too.

That's the spirit! Thanks for the kind words.

Indeed, ease of use is incredibly important. After all this is a tool that needs to be used non-developer IT admins as well.
