@roman_tesliuk this looks cool. two questions. 1. can i link my domain or domains to it? 2. what about privacy?

@roman_tesliuk Great landing page, I was convinced enough to try it out so I signed up, but the form is not working! (got the "Oops, something went wrong" message). Edit: now it's working, my internet connection had a hiccup. Otherwise, love the interaction design, it looks like this would make email fun again. I like the "Newsletter shop" and all those little interactions that make the difference. Also: greetings, fellow Berliners :)

@roman_tesliuk This is a great idea. I have signed up for access. While looking at it, I see this is the type of interactions / conversations which was lacking in emails till date. Today, I keep toggling between emails and messengers. Probably combining something like slack and juicymail into one would be a productive experience. Thoughts ?

@wilsonbright Thanks for signing up! Yes, one of our main focuses is to drastically improve conversations in email. Conversations are standard in Juicy Mail. You'll be able to create groups, mention people, create contact lists, pin any of those conversations to the sidebar, create custom mailboxes for specific projects or people, plus you'll be able to share a buuuuunch of file formats and interactive stuff (like design prototypes, locations, videos, code snippets, etc.) Interacting with all these features will be familiar to what you already know from tools like slack or any messenger, so you won't have to learn much. Anyways, thanks for the idea, we find it really helpful and we hope you'll enjoy the product, once it's out :)

@bejnar Guten Abend! :D Glad to hear that you like it and that you signed up! And yes, fun and powerful - email 2.0 :D

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 what is the product?

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 this looks like a great idea. maybe, you need to explain the problem that this product solves.

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 This is really cool!! It seems like, it gives you a recommended list of hashtags for each topic. I've always wanted to learn more about hashtags, like engagement data for different hashtags on different platforms. It's great as is, but here are a few other ideas that may or may not be helpful as you continue to grow the idea. One idea is supporting hashtags for different languages. I post content in many different languages and I never know what hashtags lead to engagement. Another idea: you could ask the user to select their topic, target audience, social media platform, and optionally enter their post. This could give more customized hashtags. Yet another idea: I don't know if browser extensions are still a popular thing, but it could be an extension that makes hashtag recommendations automatically while you're visiting a social media page. Anyways, these are just some random ideas. You actually created something genuine and cool. I don't mean to take away from the value of that by offering suggestions. Hope that you have a nice day!

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 I'm sure this is a whole other thing to consider, but it could be cool to see the frequency of each hashtag - maybe ranked by what's trending, etc. It's a cool idea!

@ujjwal_chaturvedi11 @mwehar It's not explicit that the hashtags suggested are the top ones currently in use, or over time, or if they are just random. I'd like to know that.

@jack_cooper . i like the idea. i hate saying this but you probably gonna need some "influencers" to get traction. (apologies for all the startup jargon). interested to see how you solve the problem of getting experts and users

@jack_cooper wow! that is a big vision, and one i hope you reach. democratising expertise - i like that lots and lots. good luck.

@jack_cooper Huge potential. My first thought was this would be perfect for those super-redditors or really active folks on Quora. They are already helping people with answers, so this seems like the next level. Going deeper on their subject with a phone call and getting paid for it. Which vertical are you going after first?

@jack_cooper I really love the idea of compensating people for their knowledge. One bit of feedback: on the site, the "download" badge almost covers the "advice" tab. The first question that came up for me is how many people are on the platform and what kind of advice (as in, what fields) are they offering? I think I need more info before jumping in, but I love the idea.

@david_jones6 Hey thanks David! We actually just began marketing on Quora and Brain Pick seems to be resonating. Great call on Reddit—we will definitely begin building a presence there as well. Regarding verticals, we’ve currently got a nice mix of members on the platform—Fitness Instructors, Finance Advisors, Twitch Streamers, Plumbers, Leadership Coaches, Music/Acting Teachers, Academics, Nutritionists, Marketers, and evening a professional MMA fighter (kinda cool). I think I’m more intrigued by the verticals I can’t think of—the long tail and the niche topics. I’d personally love to hop on a video chat with an Alligator Wrestler, a Civil War Buff, an Astronaut, and a Stamp Collector. I’m really keen on obscure knowledge as I’m sorta foolishly curious about so many random things 🤣

@hayrespereira

@adamleo interesting use case - summarise your clips. i do not listen to tons of podcasts, but might listen more if there was an easy way to clip the best bits. also, would be great to be able to tag or categorise these clips.

@adamleo I like the ease of use. I'm not a huge podcast listener, and that's partly because installing podcast apps or finding them has been more trouble than I'm willing to go through. So having a few interesting ones that I can play right in the browser fits my style. On a small note: that red 'P' monogram logo might be a bit too close to that other pin app?

@adamleo cool. Do you have to be logged in to use the search? I searched for "npr" and could see NPR podcast options, but when I clicked on "fresh air," for example, nothing happened. I like the idea of this as a test to see if I'd be really interested in subscribing to a podcast.

@adamleo There's no explanation of the use case. Do I have it correct: 1. I can find and listen to any podcast feed on your site. 2. I can clip a bit and save it to my account. 3. I can refer to it later and/or share the link to the clip easily?

@sarahloertscher Hey Sarah, maybe try again? Sometimes it might be a network issue on the client side. I just searched for more and clicked fresh air, works totally fine. But I'll check on my side as well.

@shiva_prabhakaran I may have clicked on the link before I finished reading your comment and was surprised by the "ultra"-simple design. Congrats on the 75% conversion! I do like it, the image used is a fun play on remote jobs, and the copy is good too. I do miss some basic info of how the whole process works (from signing up to working and getting paid for it). And maybe some examples of the kind of jobs you list out, since these fields can cover a lot of ground. I think this will help you gather more qualified leads to your email list.

@shiva_prabhakaran @laura_pompeu I agree with everything Laura said! +1

@shiva_prabhakaran @laura_pompeu @sarahloertscher Awesome design! Maybe the copywriting - headline - should show some figures like "Discover a list of 1897 High Paying Remote Jobs Available Right Now"

@laura_pompeu Agreed. I'll add this to the list of things to add to the site. Also, is it clear that it is a newsletter that shares links to high-paying remote jobs? I thought the sub-text could be longer but since the conversion was pretty good, I went with this.

@laura_pompeu @sarahloertscher @romain_carpentier Agreed. However, at the moment I have fewer than 1000 members, so I am not very sure if it will work in my favour. I would love to hear your thoughts on a number below 1000 number being a problem.

@digital_sadia employee monitoring with streams of screenshots seems like something that will get pushback from, well, employees. I am not sure how one would market a tool like this. Right now there's a bit of doublespeak on the landing page by presenting the benefits of time tracking, whereas in reality the service seems to be mostly about employee surveillance. So while the marketing copy mentions trust features, this seems to be about mistrust. Perhaps be more direct about the goals and who the target audience is. Are there use cases where this kind of tool is necessary that a casual visitor such as myself is not aware of?

@digital_sadia i agree with @bejnar - this product as surveillance is not really marketable, at $15 a month. However, I think the playback feature of the day would help so many people. Kinda like a review of the day in visual format. That would make a much, much easier sell and actually be useful in a time with so much of distraction.

@digital_sadia I see this might be considered as intrusive and invasive from employees point of view. May be a violation in privacy. However, I could see this could be helpful for people who do beta testing online and submit test reports. May be a re-purposing to an audience who tests and provide feedback similar to HotJar could be another area.

@digital_sadia @wilsonbright Such a beautiful design! I quite agree with previous comments. But I think it's marketable to bossy bosses...

@budgefrownie fantastic idea. I'm not a musician myself but have met several with this problem. The landing page is very clear as to who its for and why you would want it. Good luck!

@mwehar that is a lot of words in a day. is there a way to get like 12 or 6 or even just 1 word a day? but the idea is really good, and i think fewer words would mean more people will use it.

@ebrahimkhalil Thank you very much for the kind comment and suggestion! Yes, posting every hour seems extreme, but I actually ran some simple experiments on engagement and there was noticeably more quality engagement with posting words every hour vs every two hours vs every four hours vs every 24 hours vs every 5 minutes. Also, I ran surveys with existing active users and they say that they prefer every hour. I think being able to choose the frequency is probably optimal and a friend of mine ran an experiment with choosing that was fairly successful. However, choosing only makes sense on certain platforms. Since Reddit is the most popular platform, it's tough to figure out how to give people that option. Any follow-up thoughts on this topic are greatly appreciated. Thanks again. :)

@mwehar Wow! Nothing like experiments to test your assumptions :) These are fascinating insights, thanks for sharing.

@mwehar - I've been working on learning Italian. It would be great if you could select which language the word of the hour appeared in at the top of the page.

@cwills Thank you Chris! I really appreciate the helpful suggestion. :) I've thought about how to do this for some time. On Reddit we have separate subreddits for each language and a subreddit for multiple languages. On the website and app, a few users have requested a way to select a language (or multiple languages). I am waiting until the next release of the Mobile apps and extensions to do this as there currently are a few barriers. I hope that makes some sense. Thanks again and I hope that you have a nice day!

@laura_pompeu You know what, I heavily considered using your product, but opted against it due to the lack of conditional logic for questionnaires/surveys! enough about me, on to your question. I don't connect with the branding of this feature. I completely understand what it does, that's clear. But the name makes me want to run and hide from it, lol! In ecommerce it's called Cart Abandonment. Why not just title it "Form Abandonment"! Marketers are already familiar with the term, plus it's much simpler to read AND interpret once someone lands on the page. The term "Real-time Data Capture" can just be the primary feature of the tool. Totally a matter of personal preference, but instead of the CTA button being "Start Building" I simply like "Begin" better. It's more friendly to me and again a bit easier to digest. You could A/B it. I could be wrong! :) Keep it going!

@stephenalan Hey, thanks so much for the insight! I promise you, conditional logic is on the works. I'll let you know when it's up and running. That's a really valid point, I think I've focused too much on the name of the tool instead of it's actual function. I'll run some tests. Thanks again! :)

@laura_pompeu - hi. your copy says this " Real-time Data Capture is a Form Analytics tool designed to let you keep track of submissions as the form is being filled out, even if it’s abandoned." --- Maybe say this " Never miss an email, even if the user does not fill out the form". I am however interested in what this means in terms of privacy issues.

@ebrahimkhalil interesting! Thanks so much for the feedback. I do think that page might need a more focused angle. When it comes to privacy, it definitely is a feature that requires you to be completely transparent with your user base on the kind of data that will become available to you as they interact with your website. Kind of like the Cookies Policy.

@laura_pompeu - yes. i think website owners will need to specify the collection of data before a user submits a form.

@kopahead I would love a sentence or two about how your product is different from other product management tools :) What sets it apart? Nice landing page!

@ebrahimkhalil Thanks for your support! I'm trying to stay as lean as possible and use people feedback and iterate from there. It's easier said than done, but I'm taking it day by day and trying to build some momentum and motivation.

@rautaalin I Just added a place in the Netherlands where I work sometimes. :) Could be a very interesting list! Maybe you'll can add a row with Category. The place/hotel I added is a kind of public place where people walk in and out, but has a cafe for coffee and some food.

@spasma Thanks for sharing your "secret remote cafe" 😆. It's an open list, you can add the category row and any other info that you think would be useful to know.

@spasma Do you know which are the working hours?

@rautaalin I tried using an app for this before, but it listed every coffee shop and so was pretty much useless for trying to figure out the best place to work. Hopefully you will figure out a way to curate the best places not just list all of them.

@peyton @stephenalan @napest14 @spasma Hey guys! Was curious if you had a chance to check out Get Kelvin, and whether you had any feedback for me and the team :)

@sarahloertscher @shttyrob @quable @angela_jeffrey @angela_jeffrey Really cool idea, Angela + team! I'll install the extension tomorrow (almost midnight here in the Netherlands) to try it out and report my findings.

@sarahloertscher @shttyrob @quable @angela_jeffrey - thanks for sharing. maybe add public collections, that way i can see what the product looks like before signing up.

@ebrahimkhalil there are many public collections that you can browse and check out before you sign up. People can also create private collections if they choose - but most of our members have been building public ones. You can see them here: https://beta.getkelvin.com/colle... Enjoy!

@angela_jeffrey @spasma thanks for checking out the platform and adding your site! it was the featured site of the day today and got some votes and comments, too :) https://beta.getkelvin.com/site/...

@mokhtar_ibrahim1 The concept is very interesting. I would suggest being clearer about what the benefits of the application are.

@ebrahimkhalil Than you do you mean in the demo or the wording of the concept?

@mokhtar_ibrahim1 maybe both. when i reach the site i think it is "only" providing courses, but i think your intention is more comprehensive.

@mokhtar_ibrahim1 @ebrahimkhalil Agreed! I could use a bit more information when I land on the homepage to get my bearings

@peyton I signed up, mostly out of pure curiosity and also because @angela_jeffrey was super pumped about it, making me think I missed something. That said, I have no idea what I just signed up for or what seesnap does or will allow me to do. It might be a good idea to explain more about what the product is for and how you'll be solving these problems?

@peyton @greydnls Yeah, I was excited about the idea of joining a problem solving community! I signed up and am waiting to learn more about what types of problems I can be helpful on..

@angela_jeffrey @greydnls For sure! More information to come for those who sign up, & later more public information. Here's a quick sneak peak: Imagine if you could get stuff done around the house, at work, and in your community using photos and all the data an image creates. SeeSnap will help people get stuff done, make money, & work together in teams. If it sounds like a really big idea - it is! Feel free to message me, or sign up & email us to hear more!

@moses_k Thanks so much for your feedback. We are considering doing exactly that, glad to hear your suggestion in that direction!

@bejnar i will test this later. but just thought of an idea - maybe save the mockup as a separate image - that way it is portable.

@ebrahimkhalil looking forward to reading what you have to say once you try it, and thanks for the tip on portability!

Hey @moses_k and @ebrahimkhalil, we created a new version where you can create mockup images right from the browser. What do you think? https://launchui.com/free-device...

@moses_k awesome, thanks again for your feedback! Could you specify what it is about the Unsplash photos that is more appealing? Is it how they show the phone/app 'in use' or is it the device itself (iPhone X), or something else entirely?

@mario_arabov - interesting take on PR. maybe add some practical detail. maybe "download the vid and it will be the right format for youtube, instagram"

@mario_arabov Great idea! The user journey and UI is appealing and intuitive and I like the overall concept. I did not see any pricing information so I expect the worst: free to make the video and very expensive to push it out to any of your publications? I would like it if pricing were more transparant, that would build trust. Overall, great work!

@amy_giddon1 Hi Amy, thank you a lot for taking the time and for the great feedback. You are completely right. We will create a "pricing" page where we explain in detail our premium features, but all interviews are currently free of charge. We will keep our interviews free of charge but as you've mentioned charge for the distribution. We still need to figure out few things such as potential subscription model or corporate pages. What do you think about that?

@chris_han @ayyar very cool, I'll have to try it out!
