🚨 Community landing page roast: give a roast, get a roast 🚨

@filivvv your underlying URL is wrong i think

@filivvv 

• Cool idea

• Don't you need to show integrations for cap table, employee management, etc? If I use Gusto/Deel/Carta/whatever, the first thing I'd look at would be if you work with my vendor

• The use cases on the home page don't strike me as daily activities (aside from calendar) unless it was for a hyper-scale startup (onboarding a new team member, cap table management, etc.) but maybe I did it all wrong

• Landing page is cool, I want to follow along

@filivvv 
What’s confusing? I'm not sure what "team management" means in the context of an "operations platform" that also handles "financials" and "investor relations", but I like the screenshots! (I do see it later explained.) And I really like the alternating split view and the black and red color contrast.

What’s missing? Where does all the data come from?

What’s great but buried? Nothing? The page flows well to me.

Would you actually sign up or bounce? Probably bounce, but only because I'm not in the target market (no team management, financials, or investor relations). If I were, I might want to see the demo.

• Nit: lower padding on hero looks weird on home, weird on features page bc it's too small there

• Cool, super clean and easy to understand

• There are many goal trackers- it seems like your messaging is that this particular goal method is better. Maybe you can add some case studies, screenshots, or more tangible examples. That'd also be a good SEO growth hack to create landing pages around weight loss and other popular goals and then users could "claim" them

@brian_arndt1

• First off this looks super clean!

• One small tweak I'd consider is to add some sort of visual element to the hero section - this could be a visual of the platform itself, a short video. Just something to give the user an idea of what to expect after sign up.

@brian_arndt1 Super clean interface. But I'm worried for the height of the cookie consent bar, on large device like mine, it works well...but on a not so large one or a small windows laptop, I think its massive. My golden rule is I zoom to 150% to get the experience on small screens that arent mobile.

Also too much texts on the hero section. can we get visuals? like an image

@brian_arndt1 

• Firstly, the UI looks very clean and easy to navigate. some feedback...

• Font looks little bit off, could be improved. Not suiting the overall look of UI

• The color gradient in the Hero element could be changed to improve the visibility of overall text

• Lastly, a visual element like an image or video would add a great appearance in the Hero element

@steveb Put on those oven mitts and that apron and get roasting!

@cameron_froese 

• Pretty cool

• Great logos- is that for real?

• I think drilling into a case study with one of the big logos would be more effective than quotes

• The sample agent was choppier and less natural sounding than some of the newer voice AI demos I've done recently, just a note

• It was unclear to me how I'd plug this into an actual call center and not just a chatbot. The verbiage around missed calls made me think that was important.

@cameron_froese 

• The layout is nice, but the header bar blends with the page due to lack of initial contrast.

• The video sample would be more effective if it showed someone making the appointment on the phone, rather than just audio and subtitles.

• Learn more through an AI Workshop: Where?

• Preview is helpful, but requiring Twilio should be stated clearly beforehand, as it's a blocker.

  • I can't finish the trial now because I don't have a Twilio account.
    
    Now it's your time to roast ebookmaker.ai

@troy_mcalpin1 I am quite impressed overall. Quite clear what it is (software development management tool), there is no annoying marketing fluff.

Another great point is that you are not trying to explain everything on the marketing site, and where the user might want to get into more detail the Learn More buttons take the user to the docs.

On the negative, it's not easy to find something, but let's try:

- The marketing site overall could be a tiny bit faster. Do we need 100+ web requests and 12MB of resources on the landing page load? Images could be converted to webp and probably shave off 30-40% of size with no visible loss in quality.

- on the above-the-fold area of the landing page, I wonder if we need to do a little more to give a quicker and wider overview of various key benefits. For example, under the Get it Now button, could have 4 little "Plan | Build | Run | Improve" labels with links to sections, or single sentence summaries for each.

- Alternatively, instead of the big screenshot on the right, maybe a 30-second video that does a high-level summary of the app would be better. This is a complex product and sometimes hearing someone explain what it is by walking you through a realistic way people use the app can be useful. For example in the video you could walk the user through the key concepts by showing how a team goes from an idea to scoping it out, assigning to a team, tracking, identifying issues, and deploying. In 30-60s to not make it boring and keep the user's attention.

- Finally.... and this is highly subjective and a more minor point... I get this feeling that your product is more polished and further down the startup journey than the website let's you believe on the initial visit. What I mean by that, is that even though the site is clean and well-structured, the design language is a little too.... minimalist... for the lack of a better word. Don't get me wrong, a simple and minimalist approach is great and personally, I love it, but I can see how people quickly opening the page might get a feel that this is a work-in-progress app built as a side project rather than a fully functional high-quality project management and feature tracking tool backed up by a great full-time team. If you are the designer reading this, sorry, this is not meant to be a criticism of the design which is clean, but more recognition of how people perceive value/quality due to exposure to a lot of tech sites that use the design language popularised by websites like Vercel, Linear, Supabase. yes all those sites look the same but people perceive that look with "High quality software I can trust".

So, I didn't really find many issues and have bookmarked your product for future evaluation for my own product management.

Edit: oh and love the idea of a public company Handbook!

• I'm out on anything that creates AI-noise

• If it works so well, why do you only have 2500 followers?

• "Apply now" instead of pricing is a dark pattern especially for something like this

• Video looks like an old-school infomercial but is also kind of fun

@new_user___142202423266b2aaa452077 Nice website! Love the video.

Some small things I noticed:
- the top margin above the hero title seems unnecessarily large - I guess if you are on a 32inch monitor the video might fit above the fold, but on my 27inch one its cut off but would fit if the top margin was smaller.
- Grammar mistake in the copy "Multiple businesses have rely on GeniusGate to elevate their messaging..."
- The point about chatGPT "No context information and brand voice in consideration" might not be entirely true - I can use projects which have my project documents and rules about brand, company terminology, tone of voice etc.
- design a little too dark for my taste but that's highly subjective so not much of a point.
- the success story screenshots of GA don't seem too convincing: i.e. the previous period graph does not seem that much different taking into account potential for random variation between two periods. Also just takes a while to parse and understand what I am looking at with the GA screenshots.

Otherwise looks great - will bookmark and might test it out for my website.

• Wow is this super meta to get roasted on what seems to be a community feeedback product?

• Landing page is clean and makes a ton of sense

• The image on the hero is so noisy it's hard to tell what the value is from the community. With only one comment, it seems like it's hard to tell what's what

• No pricing makes me suspicious, just my two cents. I'd actually want to pay for this so that everyone in the group is "serious"

• 70,000 and 20,000 numbers are wildly different, are these real?
