This looks neat! I also noticed your chat widget blocks the video email ask https://d.pr/free/i/4hXJs9
Creative! Thanks for making this.
Have you tested how much of an impact it would make on page load times?
Thanks
@manikarthik Hey Mani! Thanks for sharing on Twitter. It is a asynchronous script that will load separately without blocking your page rendering. And, it's only a 4kb file :)
@schlimmson Thanks! Do let me know if you find any issues. I can hop on a call if you need any support :)
Hey Meet, great new take on popups. However I had these questions.
1. Why can't any of the existing pop-up builders that I am already paying for knock this off?
2. What is the road-map ahead for this? Is it just going to be this or what's the evolution of the product?
@yash Hey Yash,
1. You will have to ask the existing pop-up builders itself!
2. I'm planning to more types of widget and some improvement on the widget with the current feedback received!
@lachlankirkwood Thanks a lot Lachlan. And, thanks for sharing on twitter as well! Appreciate your support!
Hey Hunter 👋!
It's been a wild journey this year. I'm excited to launch Prosper ⚡️
We all know when popups get annoying, but as a business owner, maker, writer these popups are important towards building the audience and a way to reach out to them.
That's the moment I decided to try changing how the popups are. And, if we can make them a little personal and more friendly to visitors. I'm sure, showing your face behind your startup or your website will help in gaining the trust of your visitor without being annoying at the same time!
Introducing Prosper, where you can quickly record your message, add popup to your website and grow your email list in a more respectable way.
I am currently on 9-5 so I'll try my best to reply all possible questions!
If you liked it, hated it or have any ideas on how this can be made better, make sure to let me know in comments. I will make sure to analyse and improve on it :)
- Peace!
@meetchopra congratulations on the launch Meet!!!! 🥰😍😇 this is game changer! I love video stuffs like this. Much love from Singapore 🇸🇬
@meetchopra Where's the video hosted? When I tried to watch the video on your site, it was all choppy and buffery.
@rossdcurrie thanks for letting me know the issue. I will make sure to inspect it. Answering your question, it's hosted on S3 and cached by cloudflare
@sergio_villasenor Hey Sergio! Thanks a lot. Let me know if you have any feedbacks :)
@meetchopra Thank you! We should talk though. I can see your solution embed in our sellers stores. It would be awesome for a "sales associate" like experience.
@sergio_villasenor Would love to collaborate. We can talk over email :). Let me know your email address or you can message me at meet@tryprosper.com
Meet! Congrats for the launch! Super excited for you! We're already using it on www.growthmentor.com and are really impressed!
For me, pop ups and auto-play videos are lumped into the same category, so having an auto-play video pop-up wouldn't make me more likely to give over an email, personalized or not.
@grahampark Absolutely agree with this. As much as I want indie products to succeed, this is a product that will make the web a worse place.
@grahampark I feel that most people just want auto-play videos to be over and generally spend that time paying attention to anything else so there would be even less of a chance this would capture my attention than a popup.
@grahampark I agree. Toasts and popups should be used once on an initial visit to a site and never again, auto-play videos with possible audio are an egregious design, especially for sites trying to minimize network usage.
@romain_carpentier Thanks a lot. Let me know if you need any help. Would be happy to give you a demo as well :)
