All good feedback, thanks! I purposefully started out basic to test if this is something people wanted. The payment is low enough to allow for this. The goal was to launch then iterate. I've noted what you'd look for.
All future updates are included which you can track here: https://remotechoice.co/roadmap
Countries will also be added as I go, so watch this space.
Thanks again for your feedback!
That's good feedback, thanks. This is mostly for people already working remotely. First is getting basic country information in one place (fact, visas, etc.), then information on getting settled, such as how to rent or open a bank account.
If you like, you can check the roadmap to keep an eye on progress: https://remotechoice.co/roadmap
Absolutely! This is just the beginning. Just figuring out the right way to capture feedback, and we'll get started, iterating based on what people request.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Unubo makes it easy for you to track progress by bringing metrics from your favourite tools into one place.
It currently pulls data from:
- Stripe - Mailchimp - Twitter - Google Analytics
It then presents the information in a way for you to quickly glance the metrics that matter. Let me know what you think!
Thanks for sharing this! So, you're now stopping to work on your startup? You won't move it to another jurisdiction?
Thank you, added! Quite unique for a typically closed off country like Japan to offer this.
Based on the success of Silicon Valley, an increasing number of countries are trying to make it attractive for startups to be based within their shores.
They do this through startup visas, special programs and economic zones - here's a list of them.
The free tier will always remain, to get people used to our platform.
We will soon be releasing paid plans that enable higher performance (memory, storage) and new features.
Great. Any other questions or comments, just let me know. In app, this is how you can contact us: https://twitter.com/UnuboHQ/status/1162812311557607425?s=20
Netlify started out by allowing you to host static sites, so this is easy to do. Anything additional that you might find useful requires extra steps, and is not as simple as it could be.
One example is selecting a particular region to deploy. With us it's as simple as selecting the region you want to deploy to from a drop down menu.
Other stuff like our detailed uptime/status monitor and the ability to roll back to a previously deployed state are also worth mentioning.
Unubo uses one flow for each deployment type, so in case you wanted to deploy something else in the future, you have the option to do so - and are already accustomed to do it.
Nope, we won’t put your app to sleep.
Thank you!
Not dumb at all. It is actually hosted with us, on our infrastructure.
Hi there,
We created Unubo to simplify cloud deployment. It provides the easiest way for you to deploy anything whether it's a Node.js app, a PHP based serverless function, a PostgresSQL database, or even a Ghost blog.
Any feedback is welcome!
Great idea, love the focus on privacy. Nicely done!
Thank you! People need time to trust you, to host their stuff in prod. We’ll hope to win your trust by listening, iterating, and going for the marathon, not the sprint. Time will serve as a trust builder.
That’s great to hear. Feel free to sign up. Open to any questions or feedback.
Postgres and MySQL coming in our next release.
No, you don’t.
We’re going by demand with this. So far most people have requested PHP, so we’re leaning towards that as next language for now.
Would be great to have you onboard. Any questions, just let me know.
Thanks a lot! When you get started, let me know if you have any questions.
Within the cloud hosting space, you can find solutions on either end of the spectrum. AWS and DigitalOcean are powerful, but you're on your own in managing them. Things like Netlify and Now (Zeit) are relatively simple to use, but offer a limited feature set.
We sit comfortably in the middle, balancing power and simplicity.
Co-founder of Unubo here. We created this platform because we're dissatisfied with the current landscape:
AWS is a headache. DigitalOcean is great, but you’re on your own in managing it. Heroku gets expensive, fast. Now (Zeit) is serverless only. Netlify only supports static sites.
There are more solutions on the market of course, but they all leave us wanting more.
We drew up an extensive wish list, and went about creating it ourselves.
Unubo Cloud exists to simplify the process of deploying web applications. We want you to focus on creating, whilst we take care of everything else.
This is a starting point, and we have a lot planned for the future.
Heroku is starting to show it's age, and isn't as simple as it once was, so there's the first difference - we focus heavily on simplicity.
Our free apps won't sleep, they're available 24/7. With Heroku they do.

Thanks for clarifying. It's been a long day.
