Amazing! Would love feedback on @dapatil's fluxroll.com.
Jen Nordhem
@dapatil @nikkielizdemere Looks great but sadly, I'm non-technical so I'm not fully understanding your product. As a producer I can see the utility in this, but don't have a deep eng background.

Do you exercise regularly or want to start to? Give RocketJourney a go! Check it out here: https://www.producthunt.com/post... We’re always happy to hear feedback!
Jen Nordhem
@arteepa I do exercise regularly. I'm an obsessive classpass user (both in studio and at home using their videos). I see your app works with Strava (I used to be an elite cyclist and know the product well), does it also work with Classpass?

@jennordhem Not yet, we've been thinking about integrating with all those "pass" companies, but currently focusing on other stuff. You could request that studio to be added, so you could check in using your GPS. Or you could connect a wearable (apple watch, fitbit, garmin) and verify activity with them. :)

Hey Jen, it’s great that you’re offering and I’d be happy to return the favour if you’re working on anything. In the meantime, I’d love to know what you think of Thrive (can’t post a link apparently, but it was Saturday’s product of the day)
Jen Nordhem
@cristianmoisei Yes please do DM me a promo code I want to try this out. Lord oh lord, do I know some people who could use this app! Love the tagline - you've got me right off the bat. The visualization is key! And yes I have a very early V1 of our prototype that I'd like to have you test. Will message you shortly.
Cristian Moisei
Actually, it looks like I can, apologies: https://get-thrive.app/
Cristian Moisei
I can send a promo code.

Thanks for the offer! would love your feedback on my site http://www.craftic.com :)
Jen Nordhem
@mellowbeing Hi Jen, so this is a site where you pick the craft supplies you have and then it gives you ideas for crafts. It looks like you're currently using your own creative ideas, but I bet you could scrape the craft ideas from some place like Martha Stewart Living or another craft site. You could then create filters that get even more granular to not just yarn but type of yarn, or technique, etc. I could see this being a really big concept that pools all sorts of different craft sites for their content into one DIY super-hub. Good luck!
Jen ✏️
@jennordhem hey, yes I'd like for the site to be user generated down the road since it'll be hard to scale otherwise. Scraping is very bad practice so I'd suggest not advising others to do this. People aren't happy when they find their content copied over without their consent to your website. I plan on asking individual contributors to share their projects.

Hey @jennordhem, thanks for being so generous. Are you able to help check out https://robocons.com, we do automated qualitative employee surveys. What do you think about employee surveys etc?
Jen Nordhem
@yo_dinh Thanks for sharing. I don't quite understand how learning insights from books and surveying employees are related? Can you clarify that point?
Yo Dinh
@jennordhem Thanks for replying Jenn, yea you're right it's a bit confusing. I've since updated this to reposition as 'employee development surveys'. Does that resonate more or is that still confusing? My goal is to inspire employees to read more and get feedback from employees using concepts from books.

armel beaudry kembe
Hey @jennordhem This is very nice of you :) . I would love for you to check out www.trebble.fm . It makes it easy to create, distribute and listen to shortcasts. It will be great to hear your thoughts after you've taken the app for a spin. Are you working on something yourself ? I will be more than happy to return the favor :)
Jen Nordhem
@armelbeaudry Love this idea! I'm a podcast addict and sometimes I don't have 30-60m to listen to a full one. The term "shortcast" is brilliant. And I like that you can test drive within your landing page without having to download the app, that's a big win for a semi-skeptic like me. Although I noticed that I can't get back to the homepage to download the app. Make sure you can convert people on that "browse" page. That is the "magic moment" and you want that CTA to be as close and visible as possible for people to convert. I'm working on Subscripta. We have a short and simple landing page right now: www.subscripta.com, would like to hear your feedback too!
armel beaudry kembe
@jennordhem Hey Jen, Thanks again for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I took a look at the Subscripta. Your landing page indeed very simple. I am a little confused by what the product is though. Is it 1. a platform to help me keep track of all my online subscriptions (Spotify, Netflix, etc...) 2. a platform to help me keep track of all the product I have ordered online that will need to be shipped to me 3. Something else... It will be great to hear a clairification on that to be able to give better feedback. I like the idea of having a waitlist. I know most people will not care but I will suggest you to use a platform like Squarespace for your landing page. You will get a more professional looking landing page with a minimum effort. If you are a little tech savvy, you can check webflow as well. I have never used it but I heard it is becoming more and more popular to build beautiful websites with nocode.

Wow that is so generous of you! I would definitely appreciate if you could check out my app I'm beta testing if you are into makeup and have an android phone :)

@jess_robins I would love to but gah! I don't have an android unfortunately. Is there a way to test in browser, from iOS or from a desktop computer?

@jennordhem No worries! It's just android for now because the iOS app is still waiting for review for the open beta, but I suspect it will be approved in the next few days.
Bri Bradford
Hi Jen! I would love for you to try Super Social
Jen Nordhem
@bribradford Bri - this is awesome. Thanks for sharing (and sorry for my delay!) Love the idea of an easy to build business card that you can airdrop or easily share a URL with someone at an event. I typically use linkedin/email or instagram when meeting someone new (depending on if the situation is business or social) and this really opens it up to all your channels which is a huge plus. I also saw that you already have 1000 users! Amazing. How do they use the tool most?
Bri Bradford
@jennordhem Thank you Jen! Most of our users have a product or a service so Super Social helps them display those efficiently. We also have a lot of charities that utilize SS to make it easier for people to donate. Here are a few for you to check out (looks amazing on mobile btw) https://www.super.social/ss/chris https://www.super.social/ss/shirley https://www.super.social/ss/proj... https://www.super.social/ss/angela

Hi @jennordhem, thanks for your offer. We build the platform for collaboration and creating public catalogs and web portals https://ntile.app
Jen Nordhem
@aleksandrks Very cool - the first question that comes to mind is "How is this different than Airtable?" Your tagline is improper English, change from "One app to rule docs all" to "One app to rule all docs" Pricing structure makes sense, but I wish that the menu bar didn't change. I wanted to go from Pricing > About Us, but had to go back to the home page to get to that link. Let me know if there are any other questions! Thanks!
Aleksandr Kushchynskyi
@jennordhem Thank you. airtable is a new generation of Excel. ntile not just tables. It helps to organize all information and manage a small and medium company and teams. You can create documents from a template (row of the table) or empty document. Each paragraph can be separate document too, and it already linked to the parent document
Amy Giddon
Hi Jen! What a generous offer and I see lots of uptake! I would love your thought on our soft-launched app Daily Haloha. Our mission is to restore a sense of shared humanity through a single thought-provoking fill-in-the-blank question to the world each day. You'll find us in the app stores (for free) and www.dailyhaloha.com. Thank you so much!
Courtney Ruth
@amy_giddon1 I just downloaded it and am now even more in love with the concept. The only feedback I have is that I somehow navigated out of my conversation with someone (when it was my turn to send a reaction) and I couldn't figure out how to get back. I killed the app and thankfully it opened up right to that spot. ;) Do you have plans to make mini books out of stored up Halohas? That could be an interesting way to monetize. As a user, I would find value in making the Halohas analog.
Amy Giddon
@courtneyruth Thank you so much for your feedback! FYI - there are 3 icons in the top nav that allow you to toggle between your "swap", the Wall, and your Account. Clearly we can make this more clear, thank you! I love your idea about analog. The inspiration for this app was born in the physical world and I'd love to see the content and insights available in all sorts of ways outside the app. So many plans, but we're still at the MVP stage. I looked on your site - and love what you're doing too! Your branding is wonderful!
Courtney Ruth
@amy_giddon1 That's super helpful. Thank you!! I will keep that in mind for how to get back to the wall within the app. You are truly rocking it!!! Truly! Your MVP is fireeeeee! 🔥
Jen Nordhem
@courtneyruth @amy_giddon1 Can I just pop in here to say how happy it makes me to come back to this thread and see such a rad conversation! Love this. Just signed up for your email list and will be downloading your product soon.
Marvin Simon
Hi @jennordhem, I would love for you to test my productivity project www.gotstado.com. Thank you :)
Jen Nordhem
@marvin_simon1 Great to give people all the ways they want to project manage in one app, so you fit to their way of working/methodology instead of smashing them into a single one. Brilliant. I'm a producer in my day job, so I use tools like this all the time. Does the Kanban flow from left to right, like if I were to use this for tracking eng projects using the lean startup methodology, could I have each cell be a different stage to complete and then it advances to the next cell? Once the cells reach x# of items it's "full" and needs to be moved to the next? Can you take one project and apply it across all different states? Like for example you can see the todos in the list form, and then see how they all layout across the timeline or calendar view? I find that as a producer I will often take a timeline for myself and have to adapt it for different audiences - creatives are more visual and want high level, whereas producers want more technical granularity. If that is what the product does then the copy alludes to this, but the visuals don't. I'd use the same use case and apply across all "views". Your pricing is very fair, I'd personally up it a bit for the business one. :) Nice work!
Marvin Simon
@jennordhem thanks for reviewing my product. To answer your questions. 1. The kanban view works similar to Trello where you can organise your workflow in the best way that suits you. The way you do this in Gotstado is by creating and arranging list categories in a structure that you require. For example, you could have todo, doing and done categories. Currently there's no X item limit for the Kanban view but I like that idea. I'll add it to the roadmap. 2. Yes you can take one project (known as list in Gotstado) and display it in all the different type of views. Thanks for the feedback regarding the copy. I'll try to make this point stand out more. 3. Always nice to hear that I should be charging more for my product. Its very early stage so just trying to get people on board at the moment. I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you :)
MEKH
Hi @marvin_simon1 Is it an error or intentionally that your premium and business pricing are the same ?! Usually the support service comes with the pricing, you can ad this as a service as well. Hope this help
Marvin Simon
@aboubakr_mekhatria you've raised a really good point. I have now increased the business pricing and also mentioned our support options in the pricing plan. Thanks for your feedback :)
MEKH
@marvin_simon1 You'r welcome :) How do you manage the pricing\features management, is it a third party tool your' using or you have developed it your self ?

Hi @jennordhem ! Would like to take up the offer, thank you :) I'm building a hosting platform where founders can showcase their startup and themselves on a beautiful single-page profile. Here's a link to my product: https://founderhill.com I would appreciate it so much if you could try and create a profile on your own and experience the whole flow. Looking forward to your feedback, thanks so much again!
Jen Nordhem
@qabil I'll check it out! And let me know if there are any specific questions that you'd like me to answer as I navigate.
Jen Nordhem
@qabil First thoughts: This is really cool. I love the flow and illustrations make it really easy to understand the benefits and how to built. Onboarding has a few typos if you want me to DM you those. When I confirmed my email address it routed me to the backers page, which felt a little disjointed, as I wanted to go right back into my flow of creating my profile. On building my profile when I added a new skill it didn't populate automatically and I had to add it again. Not a big deal but tiny bug. Overall - great flow, easy to understand, and I created a profile in all of 5 minutes: https://www.founderhill.com/foun...

@jennordhem Thanks very much again for the feedback, Jen. I feel so at ease now that a producer and a marketer said that she understood the flow. It meant the world to me to hear such comments from a professional. Please do DM me the typos, and if you have suggestions, please include them as well. I'm sure anything from you would be worth including. Thank you for raising this point! I've corrected the routing. Now, each time a user signs in, she or he will be redirected to their dashboard/edit profile page. Oh, I see. Alright, I'll try to fix the bug ASAP. Again, this is amazing, Jen. Thank you so much. A small request: Do you mind if I tweet a link to your profile page? Just to showcase to people what a founder profile would look like. Also, if you'd want to, I can @mention your Twitter handle and include an intro/tagline of your own as well. It's perfectly fine if you don't want this :) Thanks so much again, Jen. May great things come your way!
Jen Nordhem
@qabil You have a really cool product, thank you for sharing. And being so quick to fix those bugs - WOW! I'll DM you those notes now. Thanks and best of luck!

Voxel Max
Hi @jennordhem, That's very kind of you. If you have an iPad give Voxel Max a try too, it's a voxel art editor due to launch in November. https://voxelmax.com https://www.producthunt.com/post... Thank you, Adrian A.
Jen Nordhem
@voxelmax Minecraft kids! Now that's a huge audience for sure. And I assume fairly easy to target via paid media? I thought that Apple takes a bigger cut of sales?
Jen Nordhem
@voxelmax This is SO COOL. I haven't downloaded the app but I'm really impressed by what this does. I'm not sure if I'm the right demographic for a product like this, but I work with some 3d artists at my day job and I could see them having a really good time with this. I'll share it with them. Is the build area fixed to 256^3 because of computing power from mobile/tablet? Features I'm into: Time-lapse feature is really interesting for those building a reel or a portfolio. Learn section with demos is great for reducing that educational barrier. Who is your key audience for this?
Voxel Max
Thank you @jennordhem, I'm almost done actually extending the build area with a scene manager (one scene object though will still be limited to 256^3 due to limited compute resources). Once that's done, next steps are AR and animations. Time lapse rendering was initially purposed for enhancing the onboarding experience with some curated tutorial packs but it's indeed a great efortless way of showcasing the creative process. I m running a little market experiment with an open beta testing group to figure out how to extend my audience. Atm looks like indie game developers(small/medium crowd), voxel artists(very small crowd) and young people 13-24(wannabe 3d artists, minecraft fans - huge crowd) are very positive towards my product. One challenge it seems to be due to my the tech choice (Apple - I stand by it for budget reasons :)). Most of the folks involved in gaming use PC/Android devices so still trying to figure out ways to target more Apple users having iPad Pros:). Best regards, Adrian A.
Voxel Max
@jennordhem I do hope so, still have a few months before November’s launch to figure out a strategy. Implementing for Apple was a lot cheaper on the other hand, not dealing with a fragmented ecosystem (so many variations of os versions, hardware specs, screen sizes etc on Android) I would have needed a much bigger team for sure to achieve same performance and native feeling goals. Apple is also leading the mobile AR and in terms of hardware for creative crowd there is no alternative atm to iPad Pro/ Apple Pencil line (thinking about those Procreate users too) So overall I still think the tech choice is right despite the challenges. Expanding to other platforms remains an option for later.
