@jjhinson It will be free for at least 3 months. Once we decide to convert to the paid version, we will give nice discount for the registered users.
Thanks @greg_swierad great idea. My only personal concern is signing up for too many and not doing any of them! Would be great to hear the time of day people are doing this to ensure it's done and not another notification on my phone. Keep up the great work! Also, the UX needs a bit of work, as I have to click in to each section before knowing what it is, perhaps rectangle buttons that fit the longer words might work? Same with when you select a skill, not sure if you want me to select the first option (which turns out to be the way to do it). I LOVE the app, just looking forward to seeing you guys improve and crush it!
If you want to chat growth for the app give me a shout I'm on here and can see my work with other startups etc app.growthmentor.com/mark-cann/
@mark_cann Thanks Mark for the thought feedback. We decided for a few major changes, and pretty all you mentioned will be improved. I would love to talk to you, yes!
@greg_swierad Great, I don't think they have a messaging feature on here yet, feel free to book a time here: www.calendly.com/morevideo/
woah looks super interesting so like tools of giants or tribe of mentors but digital?
@temirlan You can look at this app from this perspective, yes. Although, those books are to me very messy and random. What we try to do is to order this knowledge to have smooth paths of development.
This is fantastic esp given the corona circumstances when most of us are at home. I have a question: Do you plan to add more books?
@robrenfroe Yes, of course, we will be adding more books. Our goal is to have all possible knowledge related to productivity in one app. If there is a specific book you would like us to add first, you can vote for it here: https://www.mentorist.app/vote/
I love how I can earn stars for my progress. Really good app! Can you please tell me for how long will you keep the app totally free?
@kriti_spinoff We are going to keep it for at least 3 months. After this time, we will give some special discount for current users.
Awesome! This is exactly what I need. I have been trying to use the lockdown time as effectively as possible and this will help a lot.
@davidcosslett We were working very hard last week, to launch it especially for people that are in the lockdown. And also we decided to make it completely free for at least 3 months. Stay productive!
Hi Greg, nice product and really nice service.
I run a mentoring platform, Ei: trying to help others grow and succeed in their professional lives. Wanted to know if you would be open to partner up with us on guest blogging or any other kind of cross marketing. As we are quite complementary, getapy.com (my service) helps your people practice what they learn from your tool and vice versa. DM if interested.
Best,
Thanks a lot! I have read lots of great books about productivity but still feel that I haven't done enough. This will certainly solve the issue. 500 productivity strategies?
@kevinbowles Strategies, tactics, habits, principles - all what self-help books provide.
Sounds great! I like the idea because it is asking me to do something rather than just read. I already have apps for reading.
My suggestion: It would help if the skills were categorized based on life stages. For example, the skills a student might need to be productive are different than what a CEO needs
@lukecrane That's a great idea. We actually noticed, that when we categorize it by type of the skill, people are not always sure where they should start. If we categorize it by what you suggested - by where people are in their lives, we can create a clear path of development of every person. Personally, I'm thinking about connecting it to machine learning in the future, to determine what's really working and what's not, in order to have maximum efficiency.
I used SkillMentor for a long time. Having a free app only about productivity is a great idea. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next!
Great! Definitely better than reading just another book on productivity. I will try it.
