Feedback requested: ad server side-business

Hi IndieHackers 👋

I have just launched the very first version of a new product and would love your feedback: It's called Kleio and is an API-driven ad server.

At my day job at an e-commerce site, we used a commercial ad server to add support for sponsored listings. I.e. if the suppliers of a soda brand want their soda highlighted, they can pay for this to happen, and the ad server takes care of it by running auctions in the background and boosting the soda placement in the relevant places.

The ad server we used was incredibly expensive, and also relatively slow due to the network latency. I decided I could do better. The feature set one needs isn't all that great, and at the end of the day, the performance and price have to be right.

Sponsored listings like this can be used would also in fact be great for sites like this one! I would have loved if I could ensure this request for feedback had some higher circulation by either paying a tiny bit or maybe spending some karma or equivalent.

Anyways – my ask of you:

  • I would very much love your feedback on the site and product. I am an engineer at heart – not a marketer or designer. I'm afraid it shows.
  • If you are an engineer or at all technically inclined, I would love it if you gave Kleio a spin, and let me know what your experience was like! You can find the quickstart guide here: https://kle.io/docs/quickstart
  • If you have a website or product where you think it might be useful, even cooler! Hit me up!

Thanks!

❤️
