Share your product here to get support, feedback, users (w/c 7 October)

@peyton I signed up, mostly out of pure curiosity and also because @angela_jeffrey was super pumped about it, making me think I missed something. That said, I have no idea what I just signed up for or what seesnap does or will allow me to do. It might be a good idea to explain more about what the product is for and how you'll be solving these problems?

@peyton @greydnls Yeah, I was excited about the idea of joining a problem solving community! I signed up and am waiting to learn more about what types of problems I can be helpful on..

@angela_jeffrey @greydnls For sure! More information to come for those who sign up, & later more public information. Here's a quick sneak peak: Imagine if you could get stuff done around the house, at work, and in your community using photos and all the data an image creates. SeeSnap will help people get stuff done, make money, & work together in teams. If it sounds like a really big idea - it is! Feel free to message me, or sign up & email us to hear more!

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 what is the product?

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 this looks like a great idea. maybe, you need to explain the problem that this product solves.

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 This is really cool!! It seems like, it gives you a recommended list of hashtags for each topic. I've always wanted to learn more about hashtags, like engagement data for different hashtags on different platforms. It's great as is, but here are a few other ideas that may or may not be helpful as you continue to grow the idea. One idea is supporting hashtags for different languages. I post content in many different languages and I never know what hashtags lead to engagement. Another idea: you could ask the user to select their topic, target audience, social media platform, and optionally enter their post. This could give more customized hashtags. Yet another idea: I don't know if browser extensions are still a popular thing, but it could be an extension that makes hashtag recommendations automatically while you're visiting a social media page. Anyways, these are just some random ideas. You actually created something genuine and cool. I don't mean to take away from the value of that by offering suggestions. Hope that you have a nice day!

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 I'm sure this is a whole other thing to consider, but it could be cool to see the frequency of each hashtag - maybe ranked by what's trending, etc. It's a cool idea!

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 @mwehar It's not explicit that the hashtags suggested are the top ones currently in use, or over time, or if they are just random. I'd like to know that.

@mokhtar_ibrahim1 The concept is very interesting. I would suggest being clearer about what the benefits of the application are.

@ebrahimkhalil Than you do you mean in the demo or the wording of the concept?

@mokhtar_ibrahim1 maybe both. when i reach the site i think it is "only" providing courses, but i think your intention is more comprehensive.

@mokhtar_ibrahim1 @ebrahimkhalil Agreed! I could use a bit more information when I land on the homepage to get my bearings

@kopahead I would love a sentence or two about how your product is different from other product management tools :) What sets it apart? Nice landing page!

@ebrahimkhalil Thanks for your support! I'm trying to stay as lean as possible and use people feedback and iterate from there. It's easier said than done, but I'm taking it day by day and trying to build some momentum and motivation.

@rautaalin I Just added a place in the Netherlands where I work sometimes. :) Could be a very interesting list! Maybe you'll can add a row with Category. The place/hotel I added is a kind of public place where people walk in and out, but has a cafe for coffee and some food.

@spasma Thanks for sharing your "secret remote cafe" 😆. It's an open list, you can add the category row and any other info that you think would be useful to know.

@spasma Do you know which are the working hours?

@rautaalin I tried using an app for this before, but it listed every coffee shop and so was pretty much useless for trying to figure out the best place to work. Hopefully you will figure out a way to curate the best places not just list all of them.

@jack_cooper . i like the idea. i hate saying this but you probably gonna need some "influencers" to get traction. (apologies for all the startup jargon). interested to see how you solve the problem of getting experts and users

@jack_cooper wow! that is a big vision, and one i hope you reach. democratising expertise - i like that lots and lots. good luck.

@jack_cooper Huge potential. My first thought was this would be perfect for those super-redditors or really active folks on Quora. They are already helping people with answers, so this seems like the next level. Going deeper on their subject with a phone call and getting paid for it. Which vertical are you going after first?

@jack_cooper I really love the idea of compensating people for their knowledge. One bit of feedback: on the site, the "download" badge almost covers the "advice" tab. The first question that came up for me is how many people are on the platform and what kind of advice (as in, what fields) are they offering? I think I need more info before jumping in, but I love the idea.

@david_jones6 Hey thanks David! We actually just began marketing on Quora and Brain Pick seems to be resonating. Great call on Reddit—we will definitely begin building a presence there as well. Regarding verticals, we’ve currently got a nice mix of members on the platform—Fitness Instructors, Finance Advisors, Twitch Streamers, Plumbers, Leadership Coaches, Music/Acting Teachers, Academics, Nutritionists, Marketers, and evening a professional MMA fighter (kinda cool). I think I’m more intrigued by the verticals I can’t think of—the long tail and the niche topics. I’d personally love to hop on a video chat with an Alligator Wrestler, a Civil War Buff, an Astronaut, and a Stamp Collector. I’m really keen on obscure knowledge as I’m sorta foolishly curious about so many random things 🤣

@maxshash looks interesting. I have hosted my product in Firebase and I deploy directly from my IDE. Is this solution targeted only for Enterprises who have large code bases and pipeline for delivery ?

@wilsonbright Hi Wilson, no the product is designed for indies, small and medium teams. It helps you to automate your deployment. You just connect your CI and Git, add a target for deployment and we take care about the rest. We plan to launch in the end of October. So feel free to subscribe or join us on social media, so you don't miss it.

@digital_sadia employee monitoring with streams of screenshots seems like something that will get pushback from, well, employees. I am not sure how one would market a tool like this. Right now there's a bit of doublespeak on the landing page by presenting the benefits of time tracking, whereas in reality the service seems to be mostly about employee surveillance. So while the marketing copy mentions trust features, this seems to be about mistrust. Perhaps be more direct about the goals and who the target audience is. Are there use cases where this kind of tool is necessary that a casual visitor such as myself is not aware of?

@digital_sadia i agree with @bejnar - this product as surveillance is not really marketable, at $15 a month. However, I think the playback feature of the day would help so many people. Kinda like a review of the day in visual format. That would make a much, much easier sell and actually be useful in a time with so much of distraction.

@digital_sadia I see this might be considered as intrusive and invasive from employees point of view. May be a violation in privacy. However, I could see this could be helpful for people who do beta testing online and submit test reports. May be a re-purposing to an audience who tests and provide feedback similar to HotJar could be another area.

@digital_sadia @wilsonbright Such a beautiful design! I quite agree with previous comments. But I think it's marketable to bossy bosses...

@mwehar that is a lot of words in a day. is there a way to get like 12 or 6 or even just 1 word a day? but the idea is really good, and i think fewer words would mean more people will use it.

@ebrahimkhalil Thank you very much for the kind comment and suggestion! Yes, posting every hour seems extreme, but I actually ran some simple experiments on engagement and there was noticeably more quality engagement with posting words every hour vs every two hours vs every four hours vs every 24 hours vs every 5 minutes. Also, I ran surveys with existing active users and they say that they prefer every hour. I think being able to choose the frequency is probably optimal and a friend of mine ran an experiment with choosing that was fairly successful. However, choosing only makes sense on certain platforms. Since Reddit is the most popular platform, it's tough to figure out how to give people that option. Any follow-up thoughts on this topic are greatly appreciated. Thanks again. :)

@mwehar Wow! Nothing like experiments to test your assumptions :) These are fascinating insights, thanks for sharing.

@mwehar - I've been working on learning Italian. It would be great if you could select which language the word of the hour appeared in at the top of the page.

@cwills Thank you Chris! I really appreciate the helpful suggestion. :) I've thought about how to do this for some time. On Reddit we have separate subreddits for each language and a subreddit for multiple languages. On the website and app, a few users have requested a way to select a language (or multiple languages). I am waiting until the next release of the Mobile apps and extensions to do this as there currently are a few barriers. I hope that makes some sense. Thanks again and I hope that you have a nice day!
