@gcascio Hey I really like this. Perhaps to a temp pivot while events are way down though? You could reach out to event coordinators, and offer them a virtual audience for their live events. Really solid idea though. Just signed up :)

Thanks for the input @jack_wright1, that's is actually a cool idea we could offer them an audience and help setting up the event way before our MVP is ready, we will look into that!

@redbeed Hey, Chris! This is awesome! I've toyed with an idea like this myself. I've worked at a few different companies as a software engineer and we've always built our dashboards custom. They make good side projects for bored developers at big companies. Have you thought about your target audience? Is it developers? Product managers? Have you thought about overcoming the rejection of people saying they can just build their own dashboard? I think your landing page could benefit from being a bit more focused. You have a feature section for each of your big use cases. As I scroll, it makes it kinda confusing to know what it's for. I think you should focus the whole landing page in on one of those use cases - whether it's a personal dashboard, family board, team board, or the mirror displays. Choose whichever is most promising. A lot of websites follow a model of having a main landing page, then in the footer have "for" links. Like "for bloggers", "for teams", "for journalists". This allows each of those pages to be a landing page focused on each target audience. Cheers,

@ryan_wilson6 Hey Ryan, first thanks for your excellent suggestion. The idea is created because I had an "old" monitor, that is now hanging on my office wall. I basically use it to see the next meetings and calls in my calendar and the weather. So the widgets, that are currently available are based on this (my own) use case. You are right, the landing page, at the moment, is a simple "one" pager, where a customer needs to find his own "example" why to use centralboard, but I will split it into different sub landing pages. The goal is to make it easy for the customer and for google to get a picture what the service can do. Currently, the audience is currently the "basic" customer with only a few simple interests. I plan, and have already begun, to develop widgets for specific interest groups, e.g. Google Analytics, Simple Analytics, Spotify, Philips Hue or JIRA. Also, some more basic widgets for everyone like a Note, Checklist and Mail overview widget. So I think, at the moment, the audience is more the personal user and not product managers or owners. But in the near future I hope to deliver widgets for more groups like I mentioned before. Thanks, Chris

@redbeed This sounds like a good plan. I recently unmounted my second monitor because it was taking up space and I didn't use it much. This sounds like a great use case for it! I might have to set it back up to try your product out. I think focusing the landing page on the personal dashboard will help you gain some initial users in that group. Initial personal users might help you break into the enterprise world with customers if they love it enough they want to use it at their company. Other than just enterprise integrations like Analytics and Jira, I could see team access control features being a popular feature to have when the time comes. I saw in your medium post's intro video, that JSON is a supported widget(?) Have you considered creating an open-source plugin system that would allow a community to build dashboard plugins?

@ryan_wilson6 Oh yes, you should give centralboard a try. At the moment I didn't write any "how tos" for setting up a Pi with centralboard or anything like that, but if you need help while setting it up or build widgets please reach out to me here or at twitter. Also, if you want to, please tell me about your experience while building a dashboard and about the performance. Yes I build a JSON Widget for the more experienced user - you type in the endpoint to the JSON and then you can build your own "widget layout" with mustache. A marketplace for widgets is on my todo-list, but first I wanted to focus on widgets that are built by me. The plan is, that you can set up the layout, the config variables and a simple data "parser" maybe, so you, e.g. can parse the data that's incoming before displaying it on the custom widget.

@hello_48809 @redbeed Hey Chris, This is actually really cool. I'm going to be honest: I wasn't super clear on what the product was exactly until I read some of these comments, and really dug into the site. To @ryan_wilson6 point, I think you could really benefit from focus. I would choose one direction (i.e. target business teams, families, personal use, etc). Focusing on one direction will make it much easier to sell (since you have a clear idea of your user), and market (since you can just talk about the features that appeal to that target market). I think the imagery on the site could use a bit of love too. For instance, instead of showing a family, you may want to show a visual of the product. Right now, it's kind of hard to get a sense for what the product's actually like. Overall I think it's a really cool idea though! Keep pushing. I could see this turning into something really great.

@andrei_popa33 Great work. As soon as the crisis will go away we will definitely use it! saved your project to our must have list. ! :)

@andrei_popa33 looks slick - maybe a .vcf version? what do you think is the major advantage against a stack of cards that never get lost? or LI contact sharing when you always have your phone?

@george_dy It is a VCF, you can save the contact in your phone. The stack of cards may not be lost by you, but they will surely end up in the drawer of your meeting partner. The LI contact sharing is a bit strange for me, nobody I met uses the proximity feature, so you end up typing your name on a stranger's smartphone, not ideal. Basically its a better business card, you still have a physical product that you pull out of your wallet, its just that you only need one so maybe your wallet will look a lot better :)

@andrei_popa33 Hey! Ok, when I first went to your site, I that this was a business (credit) card. Human error on my end, but maybe something to be cognisant of! I think this is pretty cool. I think this is one of those ideas that people have been waiting to get right. Everything seems clear on your site, but you may want to give extra emphasis to where the information is saved. That's not super clear to me. All in all really cool stuff though. Congrats! J

@jack_wright1 Thanks for the feedback! Indeed many people think its a credit card because of the form factor, but we can try to solve that with COPY, clearer but less brandy (for the begining atleast). The data is saved in your profile, just like on facebook, the card only holds a link to the said profile :) Thanks for the kind words

@realdesigntack Sounds very useful, joined your beta. I'd suggest having someone go over your copy though. I see several awkward phrases and misspellings ("customatizations").

@realdesigntack I signed up for the beta version. I am curious how this is different from other social media content scheduling apps out there?

@realdesigntack i can see this as a really helpful tool folks that already know their voice and Just need filler content, i recall buffer trying to do this with headline matching recommendations

@play_tag Glad to have you! The tool helps you to CREATE content in bulk, mainly. The scheduling part will be provided later :)

@realdesigntack Hey Vaibhav, Cool idea! I think this is one of those products where you really need to show some example content, to prove (or at least start to prove) that your product can deliver on the promise. It's a relatively bold claim, so you'll want to give some quick validation. Overall the site's good! Maybe not the most beautiful, but certainly one of the clearest sites I've seen... and that's what matters. Bravo!

@ksenia_svechnikova Looks pretty handy! As a user, I would definitely appreciate being able to use tags based on the topic, but also add personal notes later on. As concerns, I would be worried about accuracy, and especially about privacy. Hope this is useful!

Hi @gaialiciabalossi, thanks for your feedback. Super helpful! Since Tactiq saves the transcript provided by Google Meet it has pretty good accuracy, especially for native speakers. Not so good for non-native unfortunately. Users' privacy is at the core of the decision making, for this reason app don't store the transcription neither in text not in audio format. During the meeting transcript is temporary save in browser tab and when you choose to export it, Tactiq securely send it to Google Docs (or any place that you've chosen). Hope this help with some of the concerns you may have.😌

@ksenia_svechnikova This looks really cool! We do a lot of meetings on Google Meet so I can see it being useful. If there a way to save recording and the .srt file for it and have the video play with captions at a later date?

@ksenia_svechnikova solid, if people can learn to rely on the transcription then its a totally invaluable tool for people that need the notes but want to stay engaged

Thanks for sharing @kalradivyanshu Yes, actually .srt export is under investigation :) Could you share for what types of meeting you need .srt?

@robin_nessensohn This is awesome! I love the design and the tools on the website are incredibly helpful! I look forward to diving in. @caryn___, check this out.

@robin_nessensohn @courtneyruth OOOOH the design!!!!!

@caryn___ It's brilliant! Sign up + take the innovators quiz!

@caryn___ @courtneyruth thank you so much guys! Really excited that you like it! Could you some give me feedback on what resources are the most helpful for you? And is there something missing? Thanks a lot!

@caryn___ @robin_nessensohn I honestly love the design + flow. I wish it were possible to update my profile photo (it ended up looking grainy). Initially, I took the quiz a bit absentmindedly and would love to be able to retake it. In general, I love the community idea and look forward to seeing this built out a bit more. It would be interesting to see what people are working on and maybe even see what they need help with// see what they are able to + willing to assist others in (i.e. my profile could say that I am willing to offer marketing advice and Caryn's could say that she is seeking help with her GTM... something that helps foster community). Just an idea! Overall, I am thrilled to be part of this new community and LOVE what you have built!

@rick_m1 Hi Rick, ServerAuth looks awesome! As someone who is developing a product with access to medical data, I always worry about the balance between the pace needed as an early stage team (read: deploying hot fix on a prod server) and server security - this will be incredibly useful to me in that regard! The landing page looks absolutely gorgeous as well. I had a couple questions: 1. For our auditing purposes, it would be great if we could have a log of who accessed the servers and when. Do you think this is possible? 2. What about database servers like mongoDB? How would i secure access to those kinds of servers with your service? Thank you! And keep up the great work :)

Hi @hirday_gupta, thanks for the kind words :) With regards to access logs this is something we're working on in our roadmap. Our aim is to allow you to turn it on per-server and then be able to access both the 'raw' log for in-depth auditing, as well as provide a nice visual of activity by team member across your servers. It's a tricky one to get right but one that we think we can do well. For now we're primarily focusing on SSH based security as this is the primary area where we've seen people having issues, however we've got some ideas in the pipeline for expanding this to other services such as databases (primarily MySQL, Postgres and Mongo) and services such as ElasticSearch.

@matt_rowbotham Hi Matt , just few points 1) I think its better to present it somemore detailed on your landing page (traxart.co) although I saw 1 more screenshot on betapage. 2) API integration with video conferencing tools might be needed.

@ozhanatali Thanks, Ozhan! It initially integrates with Zoom's API and we're working on Zapier at the moment for easy CRM upload. Redoing the landing and betapage is a great suggestion :)

@tyclimateguy Looks promising! I think many people want to find a job in line with the topics they care about

@gaialiciabalossi Thanks a bunch for signing up Gaia! Please share and invite anyone you can think of who's looking for jobs in sectors that make a big difference.

@bhaargavkosuri Looks really cool! Are you planning to include other universities soon? I'd love to sign up!

@dominic_abela Great to hear that! We were thinking of going with a phased approach initially but are thinking of opening it up in a couple of weeks after testing. You can email me what projects interest you at bhaargav@winhire.com. I'll email you up once it is open.

@dominic_abela Great to hear that! We were going with a phased approach initially but are thinking of opening up in a couple of weeks after testing.

@bhaargavkosuri I like the idea... one design suggestion would be to get those 2 primary action buttons higher on the page. Not that "above the fold" is always a realistic concept, but they should be way up there :) Nice work.

@uxkits Thanks, Eric. Keep em coming :) Any examples of sites with the suggested tweak that I should check out?

@hamish_blythe It looks a hard business model if you consider banks and credit card options etc. (I don't know much about UK market but many retailer etc. makes their own loyalty programes) I hope you can achieve - if you can I'm sure its gonna be profitble. but you will need to get in touch with clients via direct marketing.

@play_tag This is really strong! I love the UI. How do I upvote this twice?

@armaapp great idea, why don't u launch a mask in instagram with it?

@armaapp privet :) It look interesting, just for an idea.. there are many people making live stream about techno music on twitch. maybe you could reach some of them to try over there?

@jack_ng love it Jack. Big fan of the layout, your choices of designs and am keen to check out more of the freebies. Nothing is loading for me below the fold though under "recent inspiration", there is only grey space i.e. on this page here https://uxui.monster/project/hap.... Refreshed a couple of times and still persisted, on Firefox.

@dennis_wohlfarth @kyle_zhang @accointing @rodrigo_mayen_hess Hey guys, It looks cool! You may want to update the copy at the top of the site though. it's not immediately clear what the product does / why I should care. ---------------------------------------------- USER SHOULD "GET IT" WITHIN 10 SECONDS ---------------------------------------------- I'm not 100% sure if I'm the target demo, but I have to say, going in cold, I was a bit confused. There are really 2 core things that the user should take away immediately when they first land on your site: 1) What do you claim to do 2) How do you do it Consider Slacks landing page. Their opening line: "Slack brings the team together, wherever you are" This clearly explains their "what". Slack brings teams together. Now consider their secondary line: "With all of your communication and tools in one place, remote teams will stay productive no matter where you’re working from." This clearly explains their "how". Slack is a communication tool. Just my two cents! Overall it looks good though!
