Hi hackers!
This is my first product here and also my first post. I am kindly asking for a feedback from you. It was a joy developing a product to solve my own problem, but did I have too much fun, or there is a potential for others to use it, and maybe pay for it?
Is landing page communicating good enough what https://newreleases.io/ is about?
Maybe you can check how it works if you have time.
congrats on your launch looks pretty neat ! I'm surprised something like this didn't exist before actually. Just signed up and I really like the dashboard with the history of releases per package ! I'll use this for a while on my new project to see how it goes :)
Hi, thanks. :) I am glad that you started using NewReleases and I hope that it will serve you well. Reach out if you have any comments, suggestions or complaints. Cheers!
a quick suggestion, maybe a way to search github projects directly from the dashboard ?
Yes, that is in the roadmap and should be pretty straightforward to add. There has been more urgent core features to work on, but certainly it will be there.
Congratulations Janos!

Wow the Draftss website feedback is very cool. I’m going to test it out. Thanks!
Hi, I did not know about draftss, looks very nice and resourceful, will check it out.
Nice idea. I think you should focus your marketing to developers in tech companies. These are the people who will advice their senior management who probably are non-techy but have the money to pay for the service.
Hi Stanley, thank you for advice it is a good strategy.
I can see the appeal of using this. How are you going to monetise it?
I also think the phrase "registration" at the top is a bit off putting. You should use "Sign up" or something even better like "Try for free"
Hi, James. Sing up would be better, indeed, more inlined with other web services.
As for monetization, there are two or three ideas.
One is to keep the service completely free of charge, but have sponsored messages to the email notifications. Similar as some newsletters have sponsored items in them.
Another option would be more classic approach to have a paid plan with raised limit on projects to track and maybe some other features enabled. While NewReleases is in beta stage, only free option is available, one of the reasons is that it is not possible to create a stripe account from Serbia where I am from.
The third idea would be to accept cryptocurrencies, but that narrows down paying audience a lot, if there is no classic credit card payment available.
Thank you for your feedback! :)
I think both a free tier with sponsored content and a paid tier with more alerts is a good way to go. Good luck with it!
Thanks, good to know. This feedback is very valuable.
Your audience is is highly sought after by recruiters, maybe think about tech jobs ads if you generate enough traffic
Yes, I am hopping that this would be a very good monetization strategy to keep the service completely free. Thanks, buddy.
