Share your product here to get support, feedback, users (w/c 31st of August)

@siosism I like the concept, but I don't really get the mechanics. Accountability is inherently hard in some industries. When you have more around that, I'd love to see your product.

@siosism @abraham_elmahrek the mechanics are quite simple, execution is what's hard. This product actually emerged out of a group we've been running for the last 4-5 years called The Pack (https://jointhepack.co). We have a very specific way of helping people stay accountable (our own methodology), which we will be leveraging in our platform. In a nutshell: 1. Choose a goal 2. Choose a "proof of validation" (e.g. Youtube videos daily of my progress) 3. Choose a deadline 4. Choose a buddy 5. Commit a $ amount (upfront) The above is the core, but we have other mechanisms to improve people's chances of success that is layered into the user journey.

@blakemanzo "this is such a cool alternative to my savings account! i've been playing with the boosts for a few weeks now and it's such a cool concept" "when will this be available outside of the US?"

@shimenmen I love listening to podcasts as well. Nice to see more open source options! I use iOS so won't be able to try it out soon but will do once I have an android device to test it out on.

@rob_louw Cool, thanks! I might release iOS version in the future( not sure yet), as it is developed with flutter :)

@shimenmen I love the minimalist design! Slightly off-topic: how do you like developing with Flutter?

@silvia_em I love Flutter, it is very good at UI implement, you can write the UI super fast, and with hot reload, If you don't know which design is good, you can write both and have a quick look. Flutter is also easy to start for beginners, you can put logic and ui at the same file, which is easy to understand.

@shimenmen I love this, I am an Android user and most of the times, iOS comes first! Happy to see this come to life. My only feedback regards the name, it may be a bit hard for users to type it or find it. But I guess you'll find out as time goes by :) Good luck

@parth_pratik Congratulations Parth. Looking forward to your product. Would love to be part of the early access. Best Wishes :D

@pouya1 Thanks! just edited my initial post so there is a link there now. Hope you have a great day!

@atanas_georgiev2 This is something I could use in the future. I like the way you can easily navigate the discover page and the pricing. The about page takes me to a 404, maybe you would like to add a Coming soon if not ready yet?

Thanks @pouya1! Thanks for your kind words! Happy you use it and helps! Soon we will use QPAGE! Looks really promising

@lluis_m_ventura is it deliberate that there is no sound on the video? Anyway, I've signed up for your beta - sounds like a cool product :)

Thank you @troelsfr! There is no sound right now on the video, but thank you for the feedback, think it make sense!

@lluis_m_ventura This would be great for doing daily stand-ups for teams and such! I tend to prefer async conversations, unless meeting new people. Syncing can be disruptive, and also requires lots of overhead for the scheduling. Neat idea!

@silvia_em Sure, and also so useful for video agendas, and conversations, that helps people focus the meeting, when they need to happen

@nickylewlew Hi Nick! Congrats on the launch! I think this is a great idea and very important and urgent need. We've been looking for resources for green IT for a while didn't find much hands-on resources so I'm looking forward to the sustainable dev! Here is a quick feedback on the landing page : - I don't know if it's the font or the color scheme but I don't find the paragraphs very welcoming for reading. In particular, on the 3d page "How the sus dev can help", I think that the contrast is too low and it makes it hard to read. Also, it would be great to highlight the figures that you talk about on the 2d page (with illustrations, or even in bold would do the job I think) as they are important and can maybe improve the readability of the text. - I really like the design of the 4th page with the light illustration that is shed on the text :) - Also, I don't know if it's made on purpose, but we don't understand from the landing page that there is also a directory to hire a developer. It was only after clicking on the top bar menu by curiosity that I uncovered it. I think this is a great idea as it seems to be a very rare competence. Why didn't you communicate on it on the landing page and provided it a CTA to it? - I'm not sure whether the find out more is really relevant as it only scrolls a few centimeters below, where the user will probably go anyway. Wouldn't it be better to have one CTA ("Join Free") and focus user's intention? - We understand very well from the landing page what is the mission of the project, as well as the values that are driving the team. However, I'm very curious about what exactly I would get if I join, is this a newsletter? short/long articles? Links to other resources? Videos? As a user, I feel like joining because I relate to the cause but I feel I need more info for signing up : some articles or samples of coding resources, even an extract would do the job. It feels like you have a nice landing page and a promising project but I'm wondering if there are really resources ready. In this state, I wouldn't give my real email, but probably a junk email that I never open and then I would totally forget about the project. - Also, on the join page, you have two sections which make the page look like a pricing page. Since we don't know what is the "deliverable" behind it (aka sample resources), it's hard to make a choice and also it's hard to understand what are "premium resources". The Coming soon bullet point is also confusing as we imagine that what is coming is not quite defined yet. At this stage, I think I would just like to join directly/fill a form/ whatever the next step is... Maybe the Plus+ membership can be added later when there is more clarity? - Register page: I feel this is too much information I'm asked when myself I'm wondering what the "product" is about. I hope some of this feedback is useful. Do not hesitate to reach directly is you would want more feedback. Cheers, Sophia

@nickylewlew Cool! I just registered (with my real email) and had (a brief) look at the content. It seems really good and I can't wait to read it (later though... would there be an email that notifies me somehow?). Prior to registering, I really thought that there was no content yet on the platform. Also, if it wasn't for you (meaning the context of giving feedback in a safe environment to a peer) I would have never registered when I feel like I could access this content (articles) for free (cruelty of content on internet today... I know I'm sorry). I would have probably given my email after reading some articles and if you could explain to me why I should register and not just access the articles. Again, I hope my brutal honesty helps somehow. I can't wait to see this beautiful project rock the world :).

@nickylewlew Hey, this is a brilliant initiative! Quick first impression is I was not really sure what the "resources" are - maybe you want to focus on presenting it as a directory to "find a sustainable dev", and have a blog on the side? Also I feel like a white colour scheme would work better for the topic. Good luck, we need more work to stay off dirty technology, every little bit helps!

@silvia_em Hi Silvia, thank you for your comment! I'm working on a little restructure of some content to give more clarity on the resources and what you get as a member. The colour scheme is designed to be dark in order to use less energy across a wide range of devices. There will be a resource about this coming soon!

@martin_dimov Very cool! I really love the unsubscribe feature, that's exactly the kind of thing that gets out of hand very quickly!

@martin_dimov this is kind of cool. Part of my email routine is simply separating the nows from the laters. Keeping tabs on all that and building some kind of wellness score around it would be interesting.

@martin_dimov Cool! Can't wait to give it a shot!
