What do you think about our side project?
Hi everyone,
We are Rosita and Sergio, we are traveling around America in order to improve our English, meet people, and immerse in a different culture.
On the way, we've created a side project named Waysily.
We want to create a big community around language learning, connect locals and travelers to have a language exchange, find locals teachers and schools, be able to compare that they offer (immersion, tours, prices, atmosphere, etc).
We are focused on Spanish Language (We started in Colombia, Rosita is already supplying Guatemala and Mexico information, and I'm working on improving SEO and Search indexing).
Perhaps, this is not the best place to post this project, but We would like to listen opinions from entrepreneurs, makers, and digital nomads in order to improve the product.

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks,
Rosita & Sergio
Your product is free. Can I ask what your goals are with the project? Do you have a business model in mind for the long-term? That would help us to give you feedback.
Secondly, I think you should focus on a benefit instead of 100% product description. Okay, it helps you find local language tutors/schools. How does that make people's lives better? Something like, "Travel anywhere and fit in" (but better than that). The "community-based platform" stuff is an implementation detail that can go further down the page imo.
It's also unclear who this is for. Do I use this before traveling somewhere, or after I'm already there?
Thanks csallen for your feedback, it's so important for us. Well, now it's a small project, but our main goal is a mix of Couchsurfing + Airbnb, focus on learn a language immerse yourself on the country's culture where you are (or want to go). We would like to include: forum, schools chat rooms, ranking countries to learn a specific language, compare prices, etc. Regarding business model, our first step is add the option to 'claim school' in order to school's owner could manage their account, profile, agenda, etc. And in the future we would like to manage every booking class (between teachers & students, and schools & students), charging a fee.
Actually, Our goal now is helping travelers to take decision and help them answering the follow questions: What is the most popular country to learn X language?, What city? Which are the best schools close to the area that I stay or I'm going to stay? Are there good teachers? What language/culture exchange events could I find there?
When we helped them answering those questions, we might include a 'get money' method. (For that instance, we should have a good traction).
P.D: I'm sorry for my english, for that reason I started this adventure
I think the design is really nice, a lot more polished than a lot of products that get posted here. I agree with @davidlapham, it does feel a little stock photo-ish, but it's still quite nice looking.
Thanks a lot @levthedev for taking time to review the project. I'm going to work on that!.
Nice design! Branding feels good but imagery feels a little too stocky.
Thanks a lot david. I'll take your advice, I'm going to work on that.
