Google alerts is notoriously unreliable and was once admitted to be broken by Google.
They also do not support Reddit, Twitter and many other platforms at a speed that makes them useful. And Google doesn't index everything. Their indexing of Twitter and Reddit comments are not reliable.
You have to wait for the content to be indexed by Google before it can appear. Then you do not get advanced filtering options, sentiment analysis etc. Hate to link to a competitor but for more info you can see this excellent article by Mention: https://mention.com/en/blog/google-alerts/
Haven't there been like a billion of these made? Like Notion, or Typora, or dozens of other apps on Linux or browser based.
Don't get me wrong, I applaud anyone making anything, it just seems like this particular thing has been done already A LOT and while Notion can be said to be a bigger project than just a markdown editor, Typora pretty much matches Notably feature for feature.
Love the monochrome tailwind. Best example I’ve seen of it so far. Please think about the text on your site, you’re falling into the common trap of marketing waffle without actually saying what the product is. I’ve read the first four paragraphs and still have no idea.
Sure it’s a CLI and cloud offering, offering what? What does it actually do, why do I care? You should be able to explain in one short sentence. You talk a lot about the tech but little about the product.
Look at the react home page https://reactjs.org/ “a JavaScript library for building interfaces” boom, could it be more concise?
I can see you’ve put a lot of work into this, good luck!
Wowza, I never knew this kind of posts were paid that much.
Since this is a roasting channel... I feel like the illustrations you use are used in every landing page. They feel a bit repetitive (sorry). I usually go into Product Hunt to find free illustration products that don't look the same as in every other landing page. You can check them out here: https://www.producthunt.com/search?q=illustrations
Also, I really miss an 'about me' section. A place to show who you are and earn customers trust, show your skills and your background.
I've been in SEO and content marketing for a while and finding good writers is a pain. Most of the times, because of anonymous platforms that subcrontract content to other people.
You being you and knowing what you know is your greatest asset. I'd rather hire someone who fully shows their experience than a 'no-face' webpage. But that's just my opinion!
Let Google roast your site instead of me
And honestly, is the site really designed for adult working class people?
I like the design and app. Few questions? does Twilio store any meta information on video calls being made? Is it safe?
I also see you have mentioned as 'Decentralized', what are the next steps? Are you looking at blockchain platforms like https://blockstack.org for login / identity?
I guess the question is... how are you innovating?
Hostgator hosts phpbb... hell even geocities was doing something similar like 20 years ago. Medium and Substack are general improvements to existing blogging software. Their interfaces are slick and their out-of-the-box capabilities are vastly different than the products of the past. Especially substack since it bundles a payment system.
You really have to figure out:
lobste.rs tried differentiating on a number of factors. Many of those factors are spelled out in the about page. That drove a passionate group of people to use it... even then... I don't think it was enough.
Any ways, good luck dude. I'll be watching.
Ok, I think I get this. So, I'm going to use my own SaaS as an example to get my head around this. I have an email marketing service that can have a team on one company all sending emails and managing the popups etc.. If I had Maqpie then all these users can chat to each other?
My main roast would be that you are siloing conversations within the SaaS. They would probably be better off with a company-wide communication tool like Slack?
If not, perhaps a more explicit use case would be good.
For example: don't you find that current tools like Slack overwhelm your team? Add Maqpie so only relevant conversations are shown?
Finally, I hope I haven't completely misunderstood the value prop and my feedback makes sense. Cheers
Plerdy has its benefits over each competitor. Comparing to Hotjar, for instance - Plerdy provide more accurate data - more about it here: https://www.plerdy.com/blog/plerdy-yandex-metrica-hotjar-comparison/
Just downloaded it. (I am writing this comment as I play)
Off the bat, I think the text in the menu screen needs to be wider. It's too narrow that it doesn't look natural(?)
I think you should add an extra section saying how to play the game, and what each pumpkin is.
This is a mix of angry birds with a bunch of other arcade games. Have you noticed that the easy level isn't actually so easy? Haha, I don't dare to try the other modes yet.
I also think you should make the sling work on the entire left side of the screen. Because sometimes I shoot without looking and my thumb misses the sling by a millimeter and therefore I miss the shot. You want this game to be fun, so don't make it possible for these annoying situations to occur that often.
​
I feel the colors are too vibrant which makes it seem too budgeted. I'd recommend using https://color.adobe.com/create to find the right colors to avoid that.
​
Overall the game itself seems solidly developed. My feedback so far is about the design.
I don't really see myself playing this game that often, I'm not sure if it's due to something specific or personal preference. I will keep it on my phone for a while and test it out further, maybe I'll be able to give you a more comprehensive review of it.
Best of luck, and good job!
Forking and hosting an existing solution won't work for anyone non-technical. I am technical, and I don't even want to do it. I would rather push a couple of buttons and have a HN-clone be automagically created and hosted for me.
As for existing forum software, all of them are clunky and will require a technical person to host, manage, and maintain. It is like trying to ask someone to use hugo rather than weebly/medium/substack for their personal blog. Or setup their own file-servers rather than using dropbox. Again, even I would rather just use dropbox.
People will always want to consume content and be part of communities. I don't need to measure that. What I need to do is execute well-enough to tide them over from existing solutions. Only way to figure out if I can do that, is by just doing it!
- It's quite a lot of effort to manually enter every single trade, couldn't it be automated based on emails received from IG or via API?
- There are some features on the homepage but what's the benefit to me, 'Powerful analytics' is sounds great but what do I get? Check out https://ghost.org/ if you want to see some powerful benefit driven messaging.
I was referring to the initial popup that requires I tell you where I'm from. You should nix that and collect an email instead.
But yea, you have a ton of issues to fix for speed.
How big a problem is this for businesses?
Is it worth them paying for a monthly service to save them from paying for monthly services?
Have you talked to anyone who runs a business about the product?
I did just get hit by a recurring charge for otter.ai today that I had forgotten about. When I go the invoice email, I cancelled the service and have sent them an email to ask for a refund for the latest payment because I am not going to be using their service.
To me, someone who runs a small business, this doesn't feel like a problem that I am willing to pay to fix.
It may be more suitable for much large businesses who can't keep track of all of their subscriptions, but at the end of the day those subscriptions are probably the responsibility of the person who owns an individual cost centre, who may feel that a tool that is monitoring these is unnecessary.. Also, as most people want to spend the budget they are allocated, they don't mind too much if a business's money gets spent
I immediately thought of these when I read this:
Sounds like a cool idea if you combine it with Sweatcoin's automated tracking and keep it focused on one objective: movement.
I'm curious why this project needs $60k to get off the ground. It seems like some simple app development and your "strong alumni network to make introductions to top game companies." should get you pretty far.
I'd be more inclined to Kickstart if you had more games committed, a breakdown of what you would be doing with the money, and started at a lower price. $10 and it will be ready in January? What do you need $60k for?
I would assume that the Premium monthly subscription would get me more out of you partner games than if I just spent that in game. Habitica is $4.99 and Sweatcoin is free.
These are just some quick thoughts! I like the idea and good luck to you!
did you even do a basic search if there is already an app that does what you are trying to do? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits
It is already launched.
Play Store - Android
App Store - IOS
Would be glad if you give some feedback/suggestions.
Thanks :)
Aha, finally someone who likes the name! Lean is a nod to The Lean Startup (book by Eric Ries) which was a big proponent of creating an MVP or validating your idea before jumping in.
The Eskimo part is purely because we like and use AppSumo, which we think has a fun brand. So we wanted to come up with something similar, don't ask me how we jumped from Sumo to Eskimo though, actually you can if genuinely interested.
Thanks for the feedback, and please if you do decide to use our service lets us know you found us here on reddit and we'll give you a 20% discount.
I think you have touched on something important, not with your product, but in your responses where you say how Facebook is broken. I think Facebook will not be able to unfuck itself anytime soon, but they aren't going out of business either, and neither is linkedin. There are only so many hours in a day where someone with a job or business can ig fb snapchat linkedin reddit youtube etc. And saving a click or two is not a big enough incentive to wander off from the network effect those sites already have. So I don't really see a need for this personally.
But even more important than that is how are you going to monetize? How will you afford marketing, promotion, and development? Is this a field of dreams?
Read Platform Revolution
This looks similar to another thing I saw advertised on facebook, a tool to make your own marketing videos. But yours is geared toward silly memes.
The intro was funny, I almost laughed. But if I were you I'd be concerned about using celebrity photos. Where as satire is fair use, using their likeness in commerce is not. To argue wheather or not it is satire would cost you money.
I made an attempt at using it. It was not that intuitive. You would need a tutorial.
But before you get that far, you need to validate this platform and figure out how to monetize it.

>Why us?: We're a team of mediocre golfers, so we feel like we understand what the average golfer who wants to improve their game wants... and at the very least we can use our own app :). In addition, we believe we have the technical chops, as well as drive, tenacity, hustle, and vision to be successful.
Okay, then why isn't it "mediocre golfers who knocked a combined 37 strokes off our game?" First off, this needs no computer, no internet connection, no mobile phone to test and produce a result for the end user. You go. Somebody watches. You get tips. Your score drops. No electricity required.
>Our app allows you to film yourself golfing
A programming language 'allows' anyone to build an app. The reason they don't is they can't. Usability is key here. And if you're not throwing in one of these, you're limiting your market.
>we believe there is an untapped market for longer term, consistent feedback, where you can get better slowly over time.
You show me your [smoke test.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing_(lean_startup) I'll show you belief is not required.
Because your belief refutes every bit of marketing for the sports improvement and fitness industry (Think Eight Minute Abs) from the last thirty years. The Internet user has the attention span of a fruit fly. I know, let's get them better at golf in mo ... oh look somthin' shiny.
And who is the feedback coming from? Tiger Woods? Or any retard good at putt-putt you can get your greasy crowdsourcing fingers on?
Golfers, in general, already get better over long time periods. Every guy in a twosome or larger gets tips on their game from an informed amateur.
