Nothing worked from my phone, no videos of what it does. “Free account” didn’t do anything other than change the colour of the button.

>What would make something like this actually useful in day-to-day work?

Monitoring of BGP Changes for ASNs.

The other stuff isn't something I really need a new tool for.

There are other tools by Ripe, HE and the like that already allow me to see historical data.

The only point at which I need actual up-to-date to the minute data is during incidents. Hence the monitoring.

I'd advise to first compare with:

- https://bgp.tools/ - https://bgproutes.io/ - https://bgp.he.net/ - https://radar.qrator.net/ - https://github.com/nttgin/BGPalerter

...all of which are (usually) free. IMHO you should have a competing product + money strategy before you continue. Many people have tried (and failed) to make money off BGP.

I usually just grab the RIS data from RIPE

This should all be free. That's how pretty much everyone is already getting it. What does this do that cost subscription levels of money?

Sorry, too lazy to sign up just to try it out.
