A few weeks ago, I launched the tool Coronavirus Near Me, which allowed people to see coronavirus cases near their location using geocoded information. A bunch of users on the site, requested an easy way to get updates only when the coronavirus stats cross a certain threshold for a place they care about. Using, the same geocoded data, I built this tool to make it easy for people to stay informed, without the need to constantly check online dashboards. https://www.prospercircle.org/cu... So now, users can say -> I'd like to know when total cases in Fulton County, Georgia cross 40,000. My goal is to improve sign-to-noise ratio, when tracking COVID information. Would love to hear what folks here on PH think of this tool. Any suggestions to improve it and make it more useful? Thank you.
Sergio
@salil_sethi i like the clean design and the idea of alerting if a threshold was hit.. some suggestions: - filter location, why not put the input there directly? - sortable dataset (both asc & desc)
Salil Sethi
@zergione Thank you for looking at the tool. For filter location, you mean why have it as a two step process... Click to get input and then enter the input? Sortable dataset is a good idea. Just didnt make the cut in the MVP ;) Will add it soon.
Sergio
@salil_sethi yes, even it's still 1 step (because you're doing autofocus on input) the perception is different. at least that's what i feel Cheers!
Salil Sethi
@zergione agree with the feedback. Optics matter. Updated the tool. Now the filter input box is visible by default. Check it out. Thank you for actually helping shape the tool.
Sergio
@salil_sethi looks good now! No problem! :) Another tip: maybe you can add a spinner / loader too when fetching initial data. Something that's moving, so you won't give the user the impression that something "hanged", especially when internet is slow.

Good morning makers! The world feels kinda grim right now but you're here, still fighting to make the world a better place by building useful things. I appreciate you for that! Be proud of it! I've created a product that makes it easy to find and post remote jobs in the sectors that matter (climate change, sustainability, development etc). I think it'll help those of you working in these sectors find team members too. Please subscribe, upvote and share if you think it'll help: https://www.producthunt.com/upco.... Happy hunting kids
Charlie Doern
@tyclimateguy This is a very positive product that is definitely needed right now in this time of uncertainty!
Tys Sniffen
@tyclimateguy hey, super cool idea. are you at a level that would allow me to share this with certain networks? Not that I'm some super connected guy, but I immediately thought of a group I wanted to share it with.
TyClimateTechGuy
Hey @tys_sniffen, yeah that would be super appreciated mate. If they're keen on posting on finding or posting jobs would us please direct them to our upcoming page: https://www.producthunt.com/upco...
Wilson Bright
Hello everyone! I recently changed my landing page to narrow and focus on my ideal audience. https://blocksurvey.io. Let me know your feedback and suggestions. Planning launch this month. Thanks.
Solomon Kingsnorth
@wilsonbright this looks awesome! Any plans to introduce payment forms at some point?
Wilson Bright
@solomon_teach Thanks Solomon. Defintely, it is in the road-map. Mostly in next few months it will be done.
Tys Sniffen
@wilsonbright well, gotta be honest - I just clicked on your link without even reading it (so I didn't notice the word 'survey' in it) and my first impression of reading the front page was that it was some sort of firewall software for MY computer or my personal devices. But, I think your audience is actually businesses doing surveys? maybe - and realize I might not be your audience - you might change that phrase on the site to: "collect and share your customer's form data.." or something to indicate you're protecting both the customer AND the company.

We are working on a single-page website builder called Dorik ( https://dorik.io ). Our homepage is designed using our website builder to get beta users. We already have some existing users for our premium and free single-page website templates. So we wanted to build something to make it easier for them to customize the templates. We started building with this goal in our mind. But we didn't keep it just limited to customization and editing. Now users can design from scratch as well. I'm looking forward to getting some feedback on how we can improve the homepage and get more beta users on board.
Kalesh Kaladharan
@mizanme I just looked at your website. It's dope!๐Ÿ‘ A small suggestion though. Gradients above the fold is straining my eyes real hard. Don't know if it's just me๐Ÿค“
Jesse Lempiรคinen
@mizanme Went trough the website, looks great and is a great showcase on what can be achieved with your service. The pricing was the only question mark for me, as it said only that is less than x$/year. Making that transparent could help to set the expectations right! Really solid job tho, looked great!
Adesunloye Tennerick Adeola
@mizanme really nice UI, some great work, the pricing though, I would have liked to see the exact pricing or an estimate
Mizan :)
@jesse_lempiainen thank you for your feedback. We are updating the pricing. Updated version will go live today. :-)

It's most probable that this year won't be easy to travel, but I love to see new places! So I have an idea of rent a camera anywhere in the world to navigate with your keyboard like a computer game or Google Street View, but real-time! https://www.producthunt.com/post... How does it work? Tourist schedules a trip for 15 minutes. Cameraman confirms. Tourist sits at home with laptop and controls cameraman with keyboard to navigate city. Cameraman - holds his phone in front of him and obeys commands from tourist. Do you think it is worth a try? Would you use it?
Tys Sniffen
@razbakov crazy! I wonder if you might want to build in some sort of friendship/connection to the process? like, you'd kind of want to be friends with the person, don't you think? Or, conversely, you might want to build in some sort of 'celebrity status' of really good tour guides. As in, soon, people would want to 'follow' certain tour guides or something.
Matei Culcer
@razbakov never will replace going somewhere for real but it can actually be really interesting not only for tourist but if you are looking to make a rent somewhere you have never been, or buy a house in another state/country!
Aleksey Razbakov
@matei_culcer recently i was thinking a lot about where my idea can apply and came to same conclusion: it might be more beneficial to business-meeting to provide online presense to offline-only businesses and/or people with disabilities. Later this project could be combined with robots who actually carry the camera. What do you think?
Matei Culcer
@razbakov I was more thinking about some B2B service you could offer to established companies, so they can sell the service further to their customers. Like a real estate agency buying the ability to offer this service. But you might just build a peer to peer platform to put people in touch. Uber kind of thing.
Ondrej Dobias
Hey folks, Usetiful (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) is a product tour software allowing you to build walkthroughs and smart tips for your applications. The ambition is to build bullet-proof self service - that way we could run it at scale and contribute the community with service that is free forever, or at the fraction of a competitor's price. We need your feedback - how convenient is it to build your first tour? How convenient is it to install Usetiful? What are the gaps you see? Thank you all in advance! :)
Nigel Bahadur
@ondrej_dobias1 Just looked at the site - I think it really needs a documentation link. Or, at the very least, a "getting started" link. Personally, the documentation link is one of the first places I go if a product interests me. The blog has a lot of helpful content that likely would find a good home in the documentation area. I love the pricing model - much much better than walkme.

Kinzoo has just launched on Product Huntโ€”and we would love your feedback! https://www.producthunt.com/post... With Kinzoo, children, parents, and extended family come together on a single private platform โ€” sharing experiences and making memories that wouldn't otherwise exist.
Andrei Popa
@blair_fast Amazing product, seems like something I'd use with my grandchildren (in about 30 years or so). Upvoted :)
Blair Fast
@charliedoern Thanks so much Charlie! Feel free to post any feedback or questions on our page if you have any :)
JM pruski
@blair_fast @yuriy_alyabyev such a great app, wish this was around when I was younger, love how easy it is to use
Aleksey Razbakov
I would like to ask your feedback about https://www.producthunt.com/post... - Is it clear from homepage what the project is about and what are the benefits compared to competition? - Is it really faster to add expense with this app? - Would this budgeting system work for you? I used this method for the last 6 months for myself to see if it really works and I was very pessimistic about it, because it is that simple. I was shocked when it helped me to pay off my depts and start saving!
Leo Filipczak
@razbakov Hi Aleksey! I do find the UI a bit cluttered, but I really like your idea. It seems to me that the benefit of your system is that instead of only recording expenses, it actually gives you certain guidance on how to spend. I'd use it!
Matei Culcer
@razbakov I am not much of a budget planner exactly b/c it is always so complicated. But I am afraid this kind of app will be soon some build-in component of bank account. I know that it is already in Russia/EU where some online bank offer this functionality. Good luck anyway!
Aleksey Razbakov
@matei_culcer bank apps do provide now automatically tracking expenses and even can guess categories of those expenses, what they (and a lot of expense trackers) don't have is a way to change your habits and get better with personal finance: by setting goals, by teaching to save, by reflecting on your actions. Do they?
Marek Sotak
Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ , adding last final touches for launch tomorrow here on PH, with a side project, that is quite special and personal to me. When my father passed away few months ago due to cancer, I was looking for a way to create a memorial place for distant relatives and friends who would like to share their memories and comfort family. But also to make it a place where I can always come back to, read through those memories, go through the photos and remember, sink into it. I was lucky to experience a "good" death of a relative at home (however strange it sounds) and can't really imagine how it must be for those whose relatives and friends passed away during this pandemic. It is called Good Place - https://goodplace.online - it is an online memorial park, where one can create a profile of the loved one and share it with others who can then add their memories, light a virtual candle, comfort and support the family (e.g. through donations or donate to some cause in lieu of flowers). Emphasis is on privacy - it is all private by default, you canโ€™t get to a place unless the place creator approves your request with a message. What would you recommend to add to the landing page for Product Hunters coming from the PH launch page? Especially for a service that you don't have an immediate need for, but possibly useful in the (hopefully far away) future? I am thinking newsletter, perhaps offer to follow on Twitter, or share button as a sort of secondary CTA? Any feedback appreciated ๐Ÿ™Œ Interestingly enough, some visitors already created places, not just for people, but even for their projects and pets, but not sure if I want to communicate this on the front page. I have shared the whole personal backstory on reddit if anyone is interested (I hope the linking is allowed) - https://www.reddit.com/r/SidePro...

Anti-burnout tool for tech workers. Backed by 20 years of research, as simple as adding to Slack. https://yerbo.co/talkit.html?utm... Friends working for Cameo, Uber, LinkedIn, and others are beta testers. Out target audience are people working in tech, individual users and team leads. If you want to try it or have any question, I'm happy to help.
Andrei Popa
Hello PH! I won't start by saying much about the product because I'm curious if you understand it from the previewhunt I've made: https://previewhunt.com/posts/ca... I'm eager to get feedback and make it better. Thanks!
Jonas Bรคrtsch
@andrei_popa33 super clear! For me it hits the sweet spot between forgetting and disliking paper cards and the generic Linkedin app scan function that leaves no room for branding / personal communication.
Andrei Popa
@jonas_bartsch Excelent! Thanks a lot! That's what we're really going for. In some areas digitalization needs some physical products to act as a bridge between the real world and the digital world (which becomes more and more the real world).
Andrei Popa
@olga_kaz3k00 Then you'll get one! How about a custom one with Zelf Branding?
Olga Kazmina
@andrei_popa33 How should I apply? :) I really hope the lockdown is over some day
Andrei Popa
@olga_kaz3k00 Its a gift from us (we love your product), just send me an e-mail or write me on any platform you find fit, this is my Cardanti profile: https://cardanti.com/u/lP8vv8i7a...

Stuck Home is a crowdsourced list of fun activities to do from home ๐Ÿ . We just launched on Product Hunt today! https://www.producthunt.com/post... Would love to hear some feedback, and what you've all be up to during lockdown!
Matic Zavadlal
@aliatttar Cool website! You could also try to embed YouTube videos and Tweets from urls, for example, to make it look more lively.
Piotr Bartoszek
Hello everyone! We've just update the main view on our webiste - the Post view. Current page is more legible, on mobile this looks pretty cool. You can check one of example here: https://owwly.com/product/Taskad... Will be glad for your feedback. If you have your own side project/product and want to share your progress - I encourage you to test in on production ;) ๐Ÿฆ‰
Jamie Gilman
@piotr_bartoszek Hey, just a small visual thing really, perhaps a different heading font to the paragraphs and size to make the content more attractive/readable
Matic Zavadlal
@piotr_bartoszek Nice touch! Maybe the error was on my side, but I couldn't sign in using Twitter. At first there seemed to be an error, but when I tried to reproduce it, it only failed silently. Hope that helps ๐Ÿ˜„

Hey ppl. Ever provided fake name or throwaway email to get the information you want? Then you're ma ppl! Bee Informed offers subscription mechanism without requiring any personal data. Hey, we don't require ANY inputs from user. Yet, it still can be personalised, and tailored to your (deepest) interests. Wonder how? Check it out on https://www.beeinformed.app. You can even start using it for free if you: - care about delivering content to your audience, not about collecting their data - deal with sensitive topics and want to reach new persons that are not willing to open up Cheers, bye bye

Hi PH! I am preparing my very first big PH launch and kinda nervous ๐Ÿ˜… So here is our product โ€“ ZELF (https://www.zelf.co) We let people issue free virtual card in messenger of their choice, add it to Google and Apple Pay and enjoy voice commands that Zelf bot understands. Send and receive money, create invoices, track your balance โ€“ everything within your messenger. Now the cards are in pre-order and will be available in June in Europe. Would be great to hear your feedback!
Wilson Bright
@olga_kaz3k00 This is great design. I like it. I found a small spelling error in FAQ. The first question had a word 'intall' for 'install'. Looking forward to your launch.
Iain Rogers
@olga_kaz3k00 I wonder if you're the same Olga I know that was making a payments solution in Vancouver. Anyway, I like the website. It's just not clear how users will put money on the card - is it like a pre-paid credit card?
Olga Kazmina
@wilsonbright Goops! On my way to get rid of this error. Thanks you for taking your time to get to know us (obviously you spend some time on the website). And I very pleased to hear that you like the design :)
Olga Kazmina
@entreflow :D Definitely another Olga. Thank you, Iain! It is Mastercard Debit card. You can top it up with another card, SEPA transfer. Also after KYC is done, you can receive money directly from other ZELF users. We aim to give people easy p2p transfer right in the messenger besides the card

Hi friends! Ok so you guys know how it takes forever to develop and maintain the billing flow (pricing page, sign up form, customer subscription portal) when you want to launch a a subscription SaaS product? https://www.servicebot.io/ solves that by providing business owners with embeddable UI components that they can paste into their website. We use Stripe Billing as the single source of truth, and provide documentation to help you set up within a couple hours. Our values are to always keep it simple, easy, fun, and reliable. We recently launched a new homepage and pricing page (which we're thinking of templatizing for ur users as well) -- check it out and let me know what you think! All feedback is welcome :) Thank you!

pliik - is a user feedback tool that collates insights for small product teams https://app.pliik.dev We are looking for beta users! It's fairly easy to start small with a few messages, emails or interview notes and it helps you stay organized as you grow. Ideally it's built for teams and makers that: - Rely on feedback when building product. - Communicate with users on multiple channels such as intercom, slack, mail. - Share feedback within the team and outside collaborators regularly. We've made pliik over the past year as a side-project addressing many of the issues we or the teams we talked to encountered while building products. Eventually, pliik should become the easiest and simplest way to share and work with user feedback when building products.
Xan Hong
@jonas_bartsch How does this differentiate from like a Instapages or Unbounce?
Jonas Bรคrtsch
@xanhong pliik is more like an organized database of all user feedback you collect while building a product. You'd typically connect 2-5 input sources (like Gmail, intercom, twitter, typeform). Pliik would then do the heavy lifting of labeling and organizing all that feedback for you. As far as I know both Instapage and Unbounce (when I tried them in the past) are landing page builders. Feel free to give pliik a spin, sign up should only take a minute or so and there is already a bit of demo data to play around with.
David Kremlinsky
@jonas_bartsch Hey Jonas! Very cool idea and product! 1 feedback... in the company I worked for, we used to work with productboard. We had an integration with zendesk to directly push some reviews, support ticket we received and some automations. The issue was that at the end, we had so much ticket to tag and validate on productboard that no one was doing that, and we decided at the end to stop with productboard to collect feedback. So... How your product is different from productboard ? and how do you deal with this issue? If for example I integrate intercom with your platform, can I choose which feedback I want to receive? Or all messages are sent to the platform? BTW, I am also working on a project on data sharing but more on qualitative data sharing.. documents, audio, video...
Jonas Bรคrtsch
@david_kremlinsky thanks, really appreciate you taking the time! I'm also pretty curious what you are working on since video and audio are such important sources of feedback, is there something you can share? Pliik primarily differs from productboard and other product planning tools in that it is much more lightweight and focuses only on being a single source of 'truth' in terms of user feedback, second it does the heavy lifting of tagging and organizing the important parts of the feedback for you. So taking the intercom example, you'd feed everything into pliik, the data gets labeled and then you'd filter only the relevant feedback out when and once you need it. Have you tried searching the auto-labeled demo dataset? Thanks again David!

Hi Everyone! I am a UX / UI designer. My daily job is to design and find solutions for the projects I'm working on. But the obvious problem is that I spend a lot of time searching. So I created a store for all the good ideas & Inspirations I found. Check it! https://uxui.monster/
Alex Saunders
@jack_ng Looks amazing! only comment would be the title tags seem to blend into the website thumbnails, mail you could make it slightly off-white to differentiate - otherwise looks amazing!
Andrei Popa
@jack_ng Love it, it looks amazing. It's so much easier to find good solutions in the work of others, especially when you're not an UX designer but you must brief an UX designer:)
Alex Mason
@jack_ng This looks really helpful. I definitely saw designs that I am interested in and wanted to see the price but it looks like you only sell some of them? Will you have others available to download free?
Ben Ingignieri
Hey Makers, I am currently researching a collaborative SAAS idea which utilises A.I. to allow for more efficient and time effective research, development and product exploration for designers in the initial product ideation stages. I'm figuring out if this smart tech could successfully aid researchers/designers in assessing, testing and validating their product ideas by feed-backing relevant data and stats for their projects. My question: How do you go about researching within your team to develop a product, how much time does it take and what do you find hardest about this process? Any feedback, especially from any creatives and product designers out there would be really helpful! Stay safe! Ben

Hi all makers, I need constructive feedback on my new mental health app that I have been building. https://app.goodnightjournal.com...
Jonas Bรคrtsch
@ohsik it looks and feels super nice and I like the idea of having a dedicated 'home' for journaling, I wouldn't want to mix my personal journals in with notion for instance so this could be a good place for it. It would be quite interesting to track the journals over time. The breathing, teleport, music, ... feel like their apps to me. Some colors / color-combos felt a bit intense even with dark mode on.
