I'm building a collaboration hub with a knowledge sharing and support community for podcasters (https://gritly.co). The podcasting industry is quite messy. Lot's of players, catchers, platforms and shows but no dedicated platform for podcasters to connect, share information and engage with their super fans/listeners. Currently, Facebook is the no1 destination for podcasters via groups. The user experience is really bad and most groups are shoehorning the group's features to communicate in a structured way. I've designed my product with the podcaster in mind. - Profiles with podcasts attached( auto fetch and rendered as a post) - Search for co-hosts based on genre and location - Blogs to document and share your journey - Forums for support - Topics - Follow only what content is relevant to your genre or industry - Chat ( Real-time chat) - Media ( Upload your videos, make posts and share relevant content) Overall it's a learning community for existing, new and aspiring podcasters. We're currently in BETA.

@adrian_cole2 Hi Adrian. I just gave it a look. I think your website looks nice and modern, but I'm sure you can make the website offer more clear. Currently it says "Share your passion. Join the community!" I tells me nothing about what you do - which is podcasts. Then you have a long paragraph that starts with "Gritly is a New Social network...". People won't read such a long paragraph. So, make it shorter and don't flush center (a bit difficult to read). I hope it helps ๐Ÿ’ช
Adrian Cole
@4th_roommate Thank you for the feedback. Yes, The landing page needs a salon makeover. I've made notes on all the points you mentioned. I will redo in the next week. Would you mind if I ping you again for a 2nd look then?

Hey guys check out our MVP for Really Good Innovation, a curated directory of Innovation Resources ๐Ÿ’ก. Would really appreciate the feedback :) please also check the Signup-Chatbot ๐Ÿ˜ƒ you can either directly give feedback on: https://app.markup.io/invite/acc... or check out www.reallygoodinnovation.com and comment here with feedback :) thanks a lot for your support ๐Ÿฅฐ
Steve Snygin
@robin_nessensohn Hey robin, good work on the design of the page. My main problem is what it offers. Innovation is a bit vague. I don't know who is your audience, but it's not clear who you do it for. "Really Good Innovation" is your current headline. I think it's a missed opportunity to clearly explain what is it and for who. Hope that helps. ๐Ÿ’ช
Robin Nessensohn
@4th_roommate thanks Steve! Do you feel like there is any resources on there that are helpful for you? what is the most interesting part to you?
Steve Snygin
@robin_nessensohn I guess books. I'm always looking for new things that I can read. If you focused just on books, I would have been more interested. I'm not saying that you should start doing only books, because I think it's a very weak product that helps to find a book about innovation.

We are simple helpdesk for small businesses https://helpninja.com . So far in our journey, small business customers have always stood by us and now we want to do our part to stand by them. To help them, We have removed the per-user cost and priced at $29 for the whole team. Let me know what you folks feel about this.
omid borjian
@sivaram636 Looks clean and intuitive! The fixed price is interesting. Are you going to cap it in case the small isn't so small business :)
Nive T
@sivaram636 great use of social validation on the site! It was nice to see a review, at the first step of the sign-up flow. You might want to consider linking to your other products in your "About Us" section. For those curious about your team's capabilities, that could serve as some great validation too!

Hey team ๐Ÿ˜ We're building out content and a community to help improve the careers the next generation of growers / marketers. Our one liner is 'Level up your marketing, join a community, become a freelancer, get a new job.' We're looking for people who love learning! The request is simple. What's the best course you've even taken and why? Link it if you can! ๐Ÿ™Œ We're in the process of figuring out how we can display content in the most impactful way possible ๐Ÿ˜ https://www.hellomellows.com/
Steve Snygin
@stevenmale_ Yo Steven, just take a look at the website. It's nice and clean. I totally understand what you're trying to do. I think your main problem is attracting new readers and growing your audience. You should probably focus on that.

@tonixx Hi, I like the idea! Just 2 things: the UX is a bit cumbersome, a modern autocomplete search feature would be so much nicer. Also, do you have any plans of keeping users on your site or is it just for generating a post to share on FB & co.?
tonixx
@tgel0 Thx! It's just a MVP for now and will see if it catches on. If it does, I'll add simple accounts for users. The autocomplete was the most requested feature :)
Lauren Rosenthal
@tonixx love that you're trying to give people something fun to share that's relevant right now - i didn't totally get that an image i'd share elsewhere would be the output of everything i was inputting. maybe adding some more information or graphics about that on the homepage would be helpful.
tonixx
@lauren_rosenthal Thx alot! I've received the same feedback from other users ... I'm just trying to figure out how to best present that information on the homepage. I'm open to suggestions :)
Lauren Rosenthal
@tonixx i think just flat out showing what the end product would look like would be great - maybe show the same image rendered on someone's fb feed, instagram app on a phone, etc?

Hi, Makers: Busy launching Friyay.io - and we need remote teams who are interested in becoming "Connected Superteams" to try it out. It's a step up from Notion because it includes a social experience - which helps everyone stay on top of activities and feel bonded. Ping me: angela@friyay.io Tx.
Angela Gyetvan
@friyay @saprotsenko Awesome. Can you ping me at the email above and we'll get going with the details? Tx.
Alexander Protsenko
@friyay @notgyet13 we always fight about that word ;) but great! I look forward to connecting with all of you!
Steve Snygin
@friyay @notgyet13 sound cool, need design help?
Angela Gyetvan
@friyay @4th_roommate I think we're set, but I'll ask. ITMT, if you have a team who can try it out, let me know!

Finding reviews that are as reliable as a friend's opinion is damn hard, we're building Gopick to make reviews easy and much more trustable forever. In this context, we have ditched the age old stars to make way for Reviews v2.0 - https://gopick.in 1.๐ŸŽฏ A new emoji based rating system. 2.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป Like & dislike tags. 3.๐Ÿ“ Rich text reviews. 4.๐Ÿ“ฒ Get Social with other reviewers. 5.๐ŸŽฅ Good old Youtube Videos.
Tomi Gelo
@srivatsamudumby website looks neat! It's seems like a very promising project, looking forward to see the progress! Just as a small note: when I first read your pitch I didn't expect to see a review site for smartphones but rather something like Yelp. Not sure if that's the effect you were going for or not ๐Ÿค”
Srivatsa Mudumby
@tgel0 thanks for the awesome feedback. And you're perfectly correct about the pitch, I think I need to fit in 'mobile phones' as a part of it. Frankly we've built Gopick to review anything but preferred staying lean early on.
Steve Snygin
@srivatsamudumby Hi. I think the review score is not very clear. I would recommend to simplify it a bit
Ross Baltimore
@srivatsamudumby I'm curious - why did you choose mobile phones as the focus of reviews? As I see it, there's no shortage of reviews of every smartphone that comes out, there are so many reviewers who cater to every audience imaginable. And, because all the phone manufacturers each have massive marketshare and even bigger marketing reach, it'll be difficult to get distribution for your platform. I love the concept and the implementation is nice - approachable and fun yet in-depth at the same time - but I wish it was applied to a different product category/market.
Srivatsa Mudumby
@rossbaltimore Valid perspective, getting the heat already. We're now launching all electronics, do you think we should do something else? Also, we've launched mobile phones for the same reason you stated - they're the most reviewed category on the internet - thought it will be a nice anchor to create review-writing habits on a scale, as our early success is mostly dependant on 'content creation'.
Usama Ejaz
Have built a social media management and automation tool for small businesses and agencies. Check it out at https://socialbu.com and share why you wouldn't use it.
Steven Male
@usamaejaz Looks awesome! I personally wouldn't use it because I'm having a hard time figuring out how it's better than Later :)
Usama Ejaz
@stevenmale_ I really like Later but it is more focused on Instagram. SocialBu also has other interesting features such as social inbox, hashtag/keyword tracking, and customized automation rules. Affordability is also more with SocialBu. In my opinion, Later is better in case you only want to work with Instagram.

@ksenia_shliakhtina your landing page looks nice!
omid borjian
@ksenia_shliakhtina Nice landing page! fyi, your logo looks blurry on mobile and a bit cut-off from the bottom. You can see it on chrome on osx and just reducing with window size
Aksinia
@awt Thank you Andrew! we are working on making it more interactive and developing a way to show some app functionality on the website, to give better & more clear understanding what's inside the actual product:)
Aksinia
@omidborjian Thanks Omid! hm haven't checked it in Chrome on mobile will make sure to fix it ๐Ÿ™Œ
Anna Melkova
@ksenia_shliakhtina Your project idea is very interesting. I believe it will be useful for both investors and startups. I would love to see a detailed description of features as soon as you have it. As for the landing page it's nice. What I would like to add: It will be nice to see what are the target audiences of your app and what features will be useful for a specific audience. For example, how will this app be useful for startup founders, for investors and for other groups of people. And one more thing - it seems that on landing page "s" is missing in the word "seconds" in the following phrase "Graphs visualize ideas in second".

Ennie (https://ennie.co) helps startup founders improve their company culture and maximize the potential of each employee through the use of the Enneagram. When you know your employees Enneagram types, you can learn how to best interact with that individual based on their personality. Learn what motivates, energizes, and drains your employees while also understanding how to interact with them during meetings, emails, conflict, and more. I built it entirely through No Code and I'm really excited about it! I hope you are as well :)
Jacobo Vidal
Hello Makers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ We are launching in PH next week so I am looking for feedback about our product. Arengu is a low-code SaaS to easily build flows to sign up and onboard users. Common use cases: registration flows, passwordless flows, OTP email/SMS flows, social login, subscription flows, etc. Our main target are developers but we want to make Arengu so easy to use that anyone without technical knowledge can easily build or modify a signup flow. We would really appreciate any kind of feedback or first impressions about the website, the product or the PH upcoming page. ๐Ÿ™ Website: https://www.arengu.com PH upcoming: https://www.producthunt.com/upco...
Steve Snygin
@jacobo_vidal Hey Jacobo, that's nice. I like the website Maybe you can insert your form constructor on the landing page so that people can play with it. Besides it I think it's good. ๐Ÿ’ช

We've just launched a map for tracing infected areas. Only thing is we need to partner with governments or Health organizations. Our goal is to slow down the transmission rate of the virus. Any feedback will be much appreciated - https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Valentine Erokhin
Just launched May We Leave with my team https://www.producthunt.com/post... -- want to know when borders will open again after pandemics? When will Bali open again? When will Italy open again? We made a schedule where we count how many days are left until you can travel to these countries and brief summaries on the border situation there. Let me know if you see how it can be improved!
Adam Liu
Hey Guys! Adam here from Remote Together! Since the pandemic is causing a lot of people losing their jobs, I've created a page & a form to collect people's resumes and share it to as many places as I can to help them get more exposure. Hacker News asked people to post their resumes for couple of days before, but it's a news site, information sink to the bottom very quickly, I'm not sure how helpful it'd be after a day or 2. So I've decided to do it in this way to make it easier for employers to search for candidates, as well as asking people to share it to reach a wider audience. http://resumes.remotetogether.life/ Please feel free to ask any question, or share your opinions & criticisms. And help me share the list as well!

Our MVP is out in the world, and we are looking for all the feedback, users, and input one can provide. It's called Podcave. The first software solution to take podcasters from planning, through publishing, into promotion in one platform. Many do some parts of this, none do all. We have relied on our founders' combined 50 years in the radio/broadcast industry - but this isn't about us. We are looking for people to help us really create the most useful software for podcasters.
Steve Snygin
@brad_nolan Sounds like a great idea. I just looked at your website. I would say it's a bit unfocused. For instance, here's what you say on top "Stop feeling overwhelmed, stop wasting time, start saving money. Wanna work smarter, not harder? Podcave." It's a bit vague. You help with podcasts, not financial advisory. So why to mention "start saving money"? What does it have to do with podcasting. On the website it says no benefits, except that it's cheaper. I don't understand what I am getting, all I know that it's cheaper. Try to focus on What your product does, how it can help. Hope that helps ๐Ÿ’ช
Brad Nolan
@4th_roommate This helps IMMENSELY. It's funny, we spent so much time on the features page (podcave.com/features) ... and the home page is, you're right, vague. Thank you so much for spending the time to tell me your thoughts!
Brad Nolan
@4th_roommate An easy solution would be to bring a truncated version of the features page into the home page. We've added it to our cycle. Thank you, Steve! Let me know of you need to start or improve a podcast! haha
