Well, you don't "get" feedback, you ask for it. There are two types of users who "give" you feedback: those who absolutely LOVE it and those who absolutely HATE it. Everyone else is in between.

You can: - Sell Enterprise dedicated instances - Sell microtransactions and subscriptions (charge for certain features or transactions) - Sell services around your platform - Sell user data (not their contact info or anything identifiable, unless it's the type of business you want to do) - Ask for donations - Sponsored content - Affiliate links, so you don't "advertise", you "refer" - Set a...

I like the text only video, though I could see the appeal for a voiceover that other suggested. I caught the "network" typo too. My one comment though is that, even though I do have a lot of investments in various places, I don't see it as "tracking my net worth". To me as a regular user, I see it as tracking my investment. When I hear net worth, I hear Bezos, Gates, Buffet, Cuban etc, which...

Hi Fellow makers, I am the creator of Koupi (https://koupi.io), a no-code PowerShell script generator. My ideal target customer is an entry-level IT technician with little to no coding experience, who would like/needs to automate their work but is intimidated by programming. I know the current landing page sucks at conveying that message. So my question to you is: what modifications do you...

This is a good talk to look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT4Ig2uqjTc

Apple notes on my iPad. I like the pen and handwritten aspect of note taking.

I wish I could afford it, I used their free trial, but aha is pretty good: https://www.aha.io/product/roadmaps

My #1 advice is not to look for a product to create but a problem to solve. People who look for products to create are employees, people who look for problems to solve are entrepreneurs. Start with yourself: what is a problem that you have that you would like solved? Is it a problem that other people have? How annoying is it? would you be willing to pay to get it solved? Here's a YC talk that...

same as @alex_papageorge content creation and recycling is the time consuming piece. I probably spend 6h a week in content creation and maybe 10mins on scheduling.

Well, I have a full-time job, so vacation time = working even harder on my company, especially since there is nothing more to do during those times. One day I will see this mystical vacation beast so many speak of :)

Are you asking for a database? MongoDB has a free tier: https://www.mongodb.com/pricing

Hi Makers! I did a soft launch for https://koupi.io and I'm looking for beta testers/users to get feedback. Koupi is a no-code automation tool for sys admins, and really anyone who writes scripts for computers for a living. It's free to use (you don't even need an account), but for Enterprise, I would recommend a paid private instance. The questions I'd like answered from users would be: 1)...

It's very old, but this is what when I try to market Koupi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA

I started learning marketing (specifically content marketing). Its hard! :(

I would say: 1) spam 2) it's a catch-all for messages. Unless you setup rules, everything goes in one place. 3) It's not chat and vice versa. I'd love short messages to look like chat and long ones like emails.

A lot of your questions seem to require a little more context: 1. It really depends on what you mean by "scale" I/O, data, access? I use MongoDB Atlas, it's online, easy to manage. MongoDB, SQL, Snowflake all work, it just depends on your application and skill level. 2. I would recommend Stripe, but honestly, PayPal can process transactions just as well. 3. I took an angular course on Udemy,...

I have a similar problem. I am trying to find users to use my product. I want to perform user interviews, but it's hard when there are no users. I feel like all product people have the same issue: finding users.

I'm still struggling to find mine, but the rule I love to keep me on track is the following: You never sell to companies, only people. A company never makes any decision, even though it seems like it. It's always the employees. So market to the employees, not the employer.

Personally, I solve my own problems. I have a 100% guarantee that there will always be a market of 1. Then I google if someone already did my idea, then I get depressed because there are a billion solutions. So I stopped validating before I start, worst case, it will be a learning experience, best case, it will work out.

Use the "X for Y" format. Where X is a very well known company/product and Y is what you offer. For Koupi, I say it's "iTunes for Automation." Of course, we're far from the iTunes level of success, but when you hear that statement, everything you intrinsically associate with iTunes gets associated with Koupi and what we do, and the field we do it for. When I think of iTunes I think of easy to...
