Hey Makers! I have a new Gaming App idea called Vype and I want your feedback on it! Tired of matching with randos on your favorite battle royale games (Apex, Fortnite, COD)? Vype solves the issue of randomized matchmaking by providing a simple, easy way to find gamers you want to play with. Find players, track stats, and message with gamers based on what matters to you! Vype will match...

@cody_gaskin1 I am a product manager so this fits in exactly with what I would want to be able to capture user feedback. One thing I would recommend though is some type of demo or screenshots of the actual app. Aside from the concept, I have no idea what this app might look like or do. Theres also a ton of competition so unless I see how your app is any different than the others out there,...

Finishing up my the final details for the launch of my product on PH!

Hey PH! Tired of matching with randos on your favorite battle royale games (Apex, Fortnite, COD, Valorant)? Sign up to be a beta tester for a new type of LFG/matchmaking app, Vype. Vype is a gaming app that allows players to track their stats and match with other gamers based on: 1. Game statistics 📈 2. Play style - Competitive or Casual? ⚔️ 3. Communication preference 📞 4. Streaming...

Took the survey!

Agree with @alex_papageorge , having a catch all page/blog/survey will most likely lead to receiving feedback in an unformatted/undirected structure, leading to data that will be hard to make decisions on. To begin I would reach out to customers to schedule feedback sessions with a hypothesis in mind or question, and build your interview that way. Example: "I think our customers find this...

@alex_papageorge User retention is king I would say when it comes to launching. User number growth is an ego metric but retention determines whether or not people are sticking to your application. When you start looking into retention you'll uncover churn and other useful metrics as well.

User Interviews https://www.userinterviews.com/ You get 3 free ones I believe with sign up.

@amy_tang @deepak_positive Is there any other platform that might be better. The closer I get to my launch the more nervous I am getting with this platform not actually providing what I need. A true evaluation if people will use or provide feedback on my product.

Really awesome job with this! Super excited to read them all!

@drmauii I would say WooCommerce that is the plugin for a Wordpress site is as simple as it might get. Sort of hard to handle shipping and inventory any simpler than that. Also its free so it seems like the lightweight solution you would want in the beginning.

@tanya_kurkova Hey Tanya, would love to know more about the newsletter and what makes it stand out! I would want to know what you cover? Is it their personal journey? Their professional growth? Their tips for aspiring women in tech? These additional details I think would help with subscribers.

@ohsik Super strong page, looks great and very clean. CTAs are where they should be and you have great examples of functionality and value prop. I have one suggestion for a new feature on your landing page, add a email subscription to "Get Sample Journal". A lot of the time this is a strong nod over the hump to get users to subscribe, download, etc. I think if potential users received an email...

Been really active on the platform to measure how much engagement can really be made. It seems Makers forum is slightly deflated and I'm wondering how much upvotes and subscriptions are non-friends/family. Anyone who has successfully launched would love to hear their experience!

@choky I would say the hardest thing is the marketing component. Most builders are focused on creating a great product but even if you want to test the product in the market, you need to put a sales hat on. I would say from my recent experience that means 1. Reaching out to groups on facebook 2. Dabbling in a small ads campaign on whatever platform works best (Google, Facebook, Twitch,...
