I think I'm finally ready to accept users...
I have been working on streamjar.co for the past 4 months. It really shouldn't have taken this long, but I am a student, and I don't have a whole lot of free time. I would appreciate it if you guys could check out what I've been working on and give some general feedback, first impressions, etc.
Edit: Wow you guys are great! I've received lots of valuable feedback and will start working on suggestions right away. I'm glad I'm a part of this wonderful community!
Hi , you have to know you have two audiences you can focus on , the people that listen / watch the streams and the people who stream , based on your statement "Sign Up and start accepting donations" you are targeting the people who stream. instead of explaining what this tool does , try to convince them why they need to register , define clear USP's , why your app will make the process more fluent , and why this will generate more cash for the streamer than other solutions.
My thought process is to target the streamers early on. When the streamers sign up, the viewers will follow. I do agree I need to do a better job explaining how the platform will help generate more cash for the streamers.
Nice work! To me it's unclear what a viewer would tip with, if it's free? That's missing in the 'how it works' explanation, for me.
When I click 'View demo', the donation options won't load. It keeps showing the loading screen there. EDIT: This was because I had my adblocker turned on, my bad!
What's your next step?
Thank you for the great feedback. My next steps are to continue tweaking the home page and about page content to make what we do more clear. I should also add a frequently asked questions page. Aside from those, I have been working on reaching out to small streamers to partner with and get their feedback. I have also been growing social media presence.
Interesting model! Essentially viewers are tipping with their time. (Watching a video, doing a survey). Very cool idea.
Super interested to see how this goes. Keep us posted!
That was exactly my original thought process. Tipping with time instead of money.
Seems to me your biggest issue is going to be communications. Since it's a new idea you're going to need to do lots of outreach / explaining to get on the radar of developers and site publishers.
Great work! Nice idea. Love the design as well, even though I struggled a bit to see that the logo was a jar and not a quarter of a pear. This is small stuff but I suggest leveling out the "content" inside the jar and maybe make the "glass" of the jar just semi-transparent grey instead of totally transparent.
I was thinking about changing the logo as well. I liked the clean, simple design but agree that it should be leveled out more. Thank you for your feedback!
Really cool. I hope this takes off.
Me too haha! I'm working hard marketing right now
Bookmarked!
Really intresting idea, Keep going!
Thanks for the support! (:
Holy moly, is this a concept (affiliate comissions as a tip) that is already available in the market?!?!
If not, drop whatever you are doing and get this out there ASAP - could be a game changer...
In terms of feedback, the website loaded really slowly for me - that being said, I'm in a hotel with shitty wifi, so could just be me.
I've had this idea for a few years now but only very recently had the means to start developing it. I believe I do have a competitor that has popped up in between when I had the idea and when I implemented it, but not many people seem to use it. I will look into the load times.
