Hi everyone - With SongBox I'm building a tool to allow music creators to share their work privately. Private sharing is the key here, SongBox isn't about discovery. Do you think the homepage communicates what the product is well enough?
Heng Qiu
@mickc79 the homepage does a good job describing what the product is, but I feel like you can do better describing why creators need it.
Ibrahim Irfan
@mickc79 Nice! Small thing, I think the text on the landing page could be a bit smaller. Maybe keep the titles big and bold, but the subtext could be smaller. Just my preference though!
Jordi Bruin
I'm finishing up the first release of my new project. It's a realtime food scanner that checks for allergies and diets. https://jordibruin.github.io/foo... Looking to get feedback on how to improve the landing page, as well as on the app itself. Thanks in advance and feel free to DM me for specific questions
Matic Zavadlal
@jordibruin Oh wow! Do you maybe also have an english version of the app?
Jordi Bruin
@maticzavadlal the interface is translated to English already. My todo for today is to add the English and French wordlists. So if you download it now you should get an updated version tonight 🙂
Xan Hong
@jordibruin Are you able to use this for nutritional data? If so, I'd be interested in speaking.
Jiby Matthews
@jordibruin the idea is cool so if it does recognize the product and give out the food ingredient information I guess the speed will be a big deciding factor, which anyways is not the discussion point here. The English translation is not the best pls refer to section under 'RealTime Scanner'. But otherwise I would give it 10 out of 10 in conveying the idea loud and clear to users.
Mario
@jordibruin Re the landing page, the logo looked a little bit scary (maybe because of it looking similar to depictions of the virus going around currently). But apart from that, I got it. I know friends who will look on the label for traces of milk, gluten, etc. Some have avoided eating food in foreign packaging because it couldn't be deciphered whether they could eat it. Hope this helps!

Hey all! We recently launched Usetiful (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), the product tour software. The ambition is to provide product tours with the best self-service on the market. For that we need tons of feedback! I would like to encourage you to register and build your first tour. If you ping me (ondrej@usetiful.com), I am happy to give you a full license so you can try it all! :)
Jonas Bärtsch
@ondrej_dobias1 looks nice, upvoted the launch! I'd love to try the full product. I'm currently using intercom for product tours which sometimes feels a bit heavy duty.
Ondrej Dobias
@jonas_bartsch thanks a lot, really appreciated! just register the free version and ping me with your login (email is in the post above) - I'll upgrade you to full version
Karolina Kolodziej
@usetiful @ondrej_dobias1 Just spent half of the day comparing onboarding tools available on the market, if you have a checklists I would love to try it.
Ondrej Dobias
@karolina_kolodziej Hey Karolina, thanks for reaching out! This is how we support: https://blog.usetiful.com/2020/0... If you wish to try, just register free version and write to my email (in the top post) - I'll upgrade you to full version.

Hello fellow PH! Last week I got some feedback for our Smart Business Card PH Launch (https://previewhunt.com/posts/ca... this is the preview). I got really mixed feedback about the product description and this got me thinking that there's two ways of doing this: 1. Simple and clear product description. Shows how it works from a simplistic perspective, helps people understand all with just a scan. Negatives: Lacks vision, makes your product seem just a product, doesn't tell much on what you've made it or where you're going. 2. Broader description with some vision in it: Shows how you're positioning your product and why you've made it, increases Brand perception. Negative: Not everyone will understand the product in just a scan. So, which way do you think is the way to go ?
Jonas Bärtsch
@andrei_popa33 go for 1 on the landing page and stand out through simplicity and clarity? I thought you did that very well (I remember you from last week:)).
Florian BĂśrstler
@andrei_popa33 @jonas_bartsch I feel the same way and emphasis the vision in more detial inside your pages structures
Andrei Popa
@jonas_bartsch @flowmotionworks Thanks! Could you check the description in the preview link above? I tried to fit both, hopefully I succeeded.
Jonas Bärtsch
@flowmotionworks @andrei_popa33 ```Cardanti Smart Business Card One tap, no app. The smart business card everyone can use``` I think I get it and understand how it works based on this ^^. Reflecting on how I (think) I read the copy first: - Smart = with nfc - One tap, no app = nfc + no app needed - Everyone can use = foolproof, no complex steps required Did I get it?
Andrei Popa
@flowmotionworks @jonas_bartsch Exactly. Everyone can use is also because all smartphones can read QR and most can read NFC and since it has both.. it kinda covers everyone. (besides what you said)
Jack Wright
Hey guys! Looking to get input on a new landing page. (Desktop only for now) magicmorning.co/ ------------ 3 Questions ------------ -> Is it clear what the product does? -> Does it make you want to use the product? -> if not, why not? Thanks! J
Jonas Bärtsch
Hey @jack_wright1 spot on for me! As a TF listener I felt at home. I have a post-it on the fridge that does what your app promises so very keen to try it. Love the design. The plastic wrapper at the end of the page looks like you were having fun with a cool mockup but did not really resonate with me. Overall cool product, appealing positioning - signed up.
Jack Wright
@jonas_bartsch Hey Jonas! Thanks so much for signing up. Definitely will be keen to get any input you might have on the product. We're looking to start the beta test in about 2 weeks or so. Pliik looks cool btw! Just signed up. :) Thanks again! J
Sasha Shturma
@jack_wright1 -> Is it clear what the product does? Absolutely! -> Does it make you want to use the product? Pictures of famous people caught my attention, but the examples of activities were too simple. Getting a phone out to put a checkbox that I brushed my teeth or opened the blinds didn't seem appealing. If I could see schedules of successful people, I think that would be more motivational. Also learning some unique habits would be exciting. Overall great UI, clear messaging, I just might not be the right target audience.
Jack Wright
@sashashturma Hey Sasha, Thanks for the feedback here! Magic's basically a: - Workout app - Meditation app - Journaling app - Task list app All rolled into one. Totally agree that having a checklist item for teeth brushing is pretty silly, but we wanted to include the checklist so the user could customize their routine as much as possible. Sorry it's not a fit for you though! Thanks again for the feedback, Jack PS: You're photographs are really nice!
Sasha Shturma
@jack_wright1 Thank you! Hm, I think my attention span is too short, and I didn't realize all the features the app is offering.
Leo Bassam
I've just updated our website and would greatly appreciate any feedback on it: https://plutio.com - thank you so much! :D
Mario
@leobassam Hey Leo, landing page is great. Looks really well designed. I'm not sure what "All features" means on your pricing page, which makes comparing it to what I already have hard. FWIW, I've done contracting and have had my accounting software create invoices, and manually completed relatively light timesheets.
Leo Bassam
@mario_hayashi Thank you so much! Our pricing is not set on features, but on how you work, solo, with clients or with a team. You have access to the whole platform and all its features, on any of our plans. Does that make sense? I'm not sure how else I could show it on our pricing to be honest :/
Mario
@leobassam Ah I see now, thanks. I think I was thinking in terms of: "what features does this offer me and do I already have those features?" Not sure how that can be worked in but I hope that makes sense
Hessel Dijkstra
Hey 👋 I am building Konvo: https://talktomeabout.xyz Konvo is a way to have a short conversation about a topic you love or to watch others do the same. Any feedback on how well the landing page gets the idea across or any other notes you have is very welcome! Thank you ✌
Blake Burch
@dijkstrah_ Landing page is super clear and the idea is intriguing! It's almost like making "impromptu podcasts" that aren't nearly as long. It may be helpful to give users a sample of the types of conversations that they could browse on the platform. Also, I signed up but never received a confirmation email. I waited about 5 minutes and checked spam - I'll let you know if that changes.
Hessel Dijkstra
@blakeburch_ Thank you, and yeah that's spot on - the idea actually came from watching short snippets of podcasts on YouTube! That's the comment most people give, we are working on getting some demo content ready - but I am glad you are along for the ride! Sometimes Ship takes a while to send the email - has happened a couple of times.
Mario
@dijkstrah_ I may have seen this before, on IH. :) As mentioned then, examples on the landing page may help. E.g. "This is what you learn from 5 mins spent with Joe Smith, CTO"
Hessel Dijkstra
@mario_hayashi "This is what you learn from 5 mins spent with Joe Smith, CTO" - is a really nice way of framing potential value - thank you!
Shakks
Hi, Shakil here. I and my team have been working on building a Crypto Scanner and alerting tool for a trader with uses Technical indicators. why we are making Tradeplan? -Most of the scanner & alert app using simple filters like price and volume. -Among the few who have advanced scanner's, it doesn't allow users to edit the setting of the technical indicator. I can't edit the length or the source. -You can scan 2 different timeframes at once. Example: EMA increasing in both 4H and 1D candle charts at the same time. -All the same, things are missing for individual crypto alerts too. -No intuitive Mobile app with informs of a new coin that fulfills the user's scan condition. What does the tradeplan do? -It does all the things missing above. You can scan or set alert using technical indicator with custom setting values for multiple time frame at once and get notified on the app. Please check out www.tradeplan.co

Hey! I'm building pliik https://pliik.dev I'm making changes to the landing page and would love some feedback besides the Mom test (even though her feedback is brutal :). I posted the app here last week but should have started with the landing page instead. Specifically, I'd really like to understand if this version passes the â€œI get it” test. Simple yes/no answers are also helpful. Thanks!
Stephanie McDonald
@jonas_bartsch Love that you're integrating with Zapier! (Full disclosure, I'm an employee) Will the data be available to pull into BI tools like Looker or Tableau?
Ondrej Dobias
@jonas_bartsch Hey Jonas, I would recommend to update the initial screen - the "Feedback DB" texts and the image on the right kinda visually merge together. I totally missed the CTA "Get early access" at the beginning.
Jonas Bärtsch
@stephanie_mcdonald2 working on an output zap as we speak :)! Loving Zapier as well especially the recent changes to the dev experience 👏. What would you send to Looker or Tableau - curious?
Matic Zavadlal
@jonas_bartsch I love your website design. "pliik for makers and product teams to ship better products with user feedback." maybe this part could be a full sentence? Also (I am not a native speaker) you could simplify the language on the landing page (e.g. unearth -> uncover). I hope this helps you 😄
Jonas Bärtsch
@ondrej_dobias1 much obliged! Something like this? https://pliik-pliik.pliik-dev.no...

Hey everyone - I'm currently building out Shipyard (https://www.shipyardapp.com). We're a serverless workflow automation platform that helps Data Teams get their solutions to production 3x faster. The platform lets you build, monitor, and share solutions without worrying about DevOps. Essentially, we're trying to build a beefier "Zapier for Data". We're currently looking for additional beta users and product feedback. Our core audience consists of Data Engineers and Data Scientists at companies no bigger than 500. If you work heavily with data, I'd like to chat! If anyone has website feedback, that would also be helpful. Thanks in advance!
Mario
@blakeburch_ Cool, I'm a fan of serverless. Excited that you're doing something in that space. :) Re website feedback, I get it. You can run data jobs with Shipyard. I imagine this is something that'll be useful for data extraction, transformation, etc. A much nicer experience than AWS Data Pipelines is my first impression. Separately, out of curiosity, what about really long jobs? Some ETL jobs might take many tens of minutes (e.g. Redshift number crunching).
Blake Burch
@mario_hayashi - Thanks for digging in - and I'm glad to see everything was clear to you! Our goal is to make it a seamless setup experience. Really long jobs are actually right in our wheelhouse, with a cap of 8 hours right now. We got frustrated trying to make our pipelines fit into tools with restrictive timing/resource limitations. As an example, we have some beta testers right now running 5 hour long processes to generate search ads dynamically using product feeds and promotion data. That team is using a combination of Redshift, Google Sheets, and the Adwords API to run their process. Would you be interested in trying the product out during our beta?
Mario
@blakeburch_ Cool! > Would you be interested in trying the product out during our beta? I'm afraid I don't have the data needs right now, so will be a pass for now. But thanks!

Hey folks! We've built LetterWell as a marketplace for newsletter owners and advertisers to buy and sell advertising space in newsletter emails. LetterWell provide a secure, thoroughly vetted marketplace to connect advertisers with newsletter owners. And best of all, it's completely free to use. We're always looking for feedback, suggestions and tips on how we can grow and make the platform more sustainable to ensure its longevity! It seems to be one of the biggest challenges to continue to drive growth on the site (any tips?), but after a lot of months of effort and hard work, we've over 230 newsletters on the site, and around 20k monthly visits. Have a look at our roadmap too, and also feel free to check out our meta newsletter. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! Just launched an HR app for onboarding, training and evaluating employees online. Check it out: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Matthew Behan-Fossey
@monika_ben Very Cool! I like your landing page design! I'm curious, whats your tech stack?
Vaibhav
@monika_ben First of all, Great domain and it directly suits to your service being offered. Love the UI and colors. All the best!

Hey! I am building this product - http://perfachhi.com/ There are plenty of tools to identify performance hiccups for the app that goes to the playstore / appstore but not a tool that can prevent performance issues from going out. After speaking to a lot of developers & looking the life cycle of app development, we managed to put together an SDK to help app developers monitor app performance and avoid pushing apps with memory leaks, API delays, Errors & loading issues. This is a pre-prod monitoring solution that can be distributed to QA, Beta users or any internal testing being done. Do you think this is something that would solve getting poor ratings in playstore / appstore? Thanks in Advance!
Matthew Behan-Fossey
@abilashnhari Really cool idea actually, I don't develop native apps but I could see how this would be life saving. Any platform/appstore that you have to publish to suffers from this
Semyon Fast
@abilashnhari I agree with the problem a lot, probably would be great to estimate users reaction at the designed changes. For example, when you add a monetization into app or remove redundant features and part of users doesn't like it
Abilash
@eye_dle Yes, thanks for your feedback - we have considered to get feedback directly from the beta users + the potential reason why? In-app feedback will enable this with some other scheme of things within the app to capture feedback. Thanks for your input!

I'm launching a new #travel guide project called Destinfo --> https://www.producthunt.com/post... Basically, you can find travel information for any destination in the world! I would love some feedback as I'm getting ready for when people can start traveling again :)
Jonathan Riftin
@gordon_james_campbell are you sure its the right timing? :)
Gordon Campbell
@ryonatan well I started working on this before all this began :) but I believe it's a good thing, as it gives me a chance to slowly test the platform and improve thanks to early feedback. Did you have time to try it out?
Salil Sethi
Hey everyone - Just launched Headline/Title case converter. Many publications follow guidelines on how article/blog headlines should be. For that matter, I've cared how the headlines are on my blog, other posts, etc. There are a few tools that exist, you can google them. However, they are full of ads and take forever to run. So for ProsperCircle.org, I wrote a few functions that did the trick for me. This weekend, added a front-end to the tools so that others can use it also. Here is the tool: https://www.prospercircle.org/to... Let me know your feedback. I feel it is a mark improvement over what exists, but would love your thoughts. Cheers, Salil

Hey Makers, I launched https://lineicons.com/ three days back, LineIcons is a icon pack of 2000+ line icons for designers and developers. Packed with all essential icons from 20+ different categories. Our key audiences are designers and front-end developers. Let me know if you guys have any feedback on this, I would love to hear from you. Cheers

Hey. For the past 2 years, I have been working on LearnObit (https://learnobit.com). When I first started to learn coding, I used Anki and the old tried-and-tested Spaced Repetition algorithm, but it wasn't suitable for more complex, general topics like Mathematics or Physics. Because of that, Spaced Repetition has always been widely overlooked despite its proven effectiveness in learning. I wanted to unlock this effectiveness for a wider audience by building LearnObit, a tool that combines tree-structure note-taking tools with Spaced Repetition so that you can apply it to more than just simple fact pairs. And now it even has the feature to export data to Anki, so you can leave with your data when you decide not to use it! (Of course I don't want anyone to use it, but I couldn't help it, because people wouldn't start using it without this in the first place...) Anyway, I'll be here anytime if you have any questions for me. Thanks for your time.
Jocelyn Lecamus
Hey Makers! I recently launched Badabits https://www.badabits.com/ It's an app to help children to make good habits. The idea is simple, fight cute monsters with the power of your good habits. If you have children do not hesitate to give a try, it's free and without any ads. I would love to get feedback! Thank you!
Jack Wright
@jocelyn_lecamus Hey there! Congrats on getting this to market It's super cute. Funny, I'm creating the same product, but for adults :D magicmorning.co I think the site looks great, it'd be helpful to have a bit more context around how it workouts though. I think I get that the child is incentivized to perform the good habit to unlock one of the monsters. Is that right?
Jonathan Riftin
@jocelyn_lecamus what age? i have a 2 years old.
Json analyzer
@jocelyn_lecamus Congrats! its a wonderful idea and the website looks super cute! Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to cover the operational cost if the app is free and does not have ADs?
Vaibhav
Hello, everyone. After a careful consideration and thorough analysis, I built my MVP sheet and started working on the landing page. By not spending much time on prOcrastinating, I built the landing page with just the information needed. The MVP on main site clearly now states the goal which is it helps by creating social media content in bulk for you, to publish right away! You can check it out here:- http://www.designtack.com Let me know your thoughts and feedback. I would really appreciate it. Thank you,
