Old dog, new tricks? Hi All!

by•

New to PH, but not to SaaS. Our last company surpassed $60m ARR, was purchased, took some time off, now back at it!


We are working on a new project, specifically for cross-functional software development teams and orgs. We are trying to take a fresh look at how we plan, build and run software.


Think of it as "if Jira were built in 2025 (instead of 2003)" -- but more than just Proj Mgmt. For those that are thinking, "uh, yeah what about Linear!" Linear is a cool product, but we have taken a very different approach.


We launch in 30 days or so - but actively looking for folks willing to take it for a spin. We could really use the help!! Eager to assist others where I can as well! - check out the mvp at www.atono.io

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I believe curiosity has no age limit.

Hey Troy,

Love what you're building here. As someone who's worked with dev teams, this feels like a breath of fresh air. Can I share some quick thoughts on the visuals and copy though? Your product concept is solid, but the presentation could be improved (I know it's an MVP ;):

  • The architectural imagery creates a nice vibe, but there's a disconnect between those elements and your product screenshots - tightening this would feel more cohesive

  • Your headline clearly shows what you do, but misses that emotional punch that would make it stick in people's minds

  • The UI screenshots show functionality well but get a bit lost - giving them more prominence would better showcase your product

  • Consider guiding the eye more intentionally throughout the page - right now it's not immediately clear where to focus first, which dilutes the core message a little I feel

    I've helped several SaaS startups transform their visuals right before launch and saw significant improvements in their conversion rates. More than happy to hop on a quick call to share some specific ideas for your landing page - I might be able to save you some headaches as you approach your launch date.

    Cheers,
    Marc
