Hi @bentossell,
Subbscribe v1 was previously listed on Product Hunt as a jQuery plugin that required some Javascript voodoo, but the new version includes a web interface, twitter login, embed snippets and colour themes.
The biggest challenge was Subbscribe being a jQuery plugin to begin with. Many people who wanted to install it on their website, didn’t know how to do so. At first, I wasn’t planning on building a web interface for it, but rather update the plugin regularly. After many emails requesting help with installing it (months after it was originally launched on PH) I decided to turn it into a mini-product with a web interface that will be more accessible to people with no coding skills. And thus, version 2 was born :)
@shlominissan - why no plans to monetize? (I voted for you based solely on that comment, among others). And how does it compare to some of the paid versions? Tnx!
So @shlominissan - what big updates have happened since the last launch 8 months ago??
From the previous launch, what were the biggest areas of feedback and how did you implement them?
What have been the biggest challenges in the last 8 months?
I really like the color picker, had to stop what i was doing to dig in more. It's not immediately clear how to use it and I love that it took me out of my 'fill in form' autopilot mode. Very nice. Alright, back to try the rest of the app. Can't wait for more novel surprises! :-)
