My very first indie hack product will be live soon (around this month), I am trying to redesign the landing page to make it more attractive. It would be best to have the Indie Hackers community roast and provide some feedback. I will be extremely appreciate your support!
Hey Tin,
Leading title in the hero reads as an emotional effect of your product but doesn't explain what the product does. I'd suggest focusing on this first. That's the first thing people read, and judge if they want to stay on the site. You have a few seconds for this. So I'd suggest something like “Manage and share your browser active tabs” or something like this.
Main CTA in the hero. It says ”Get started ->” and seems to be leading to the product. But the next section talks about a waitlist. Is it the product that's in beta, or the team feature? Unclear.
The “Watch Demo” CTA is only great if it's an actual demo and not a button baked into an image ;-)
The image on the right of the hero didn't convey the idea at all. Why are the tabs connected with arrows? Are they related? Is this relational browsing, like mind maps in Obsidian.md? I think if you put a video on autoplay (with no sound by default!) in the hero demoing what exactly the product does, the chances users may stay longer dramatically increase I'd say.
The community idea is very interesting. There're tons of tab managers out there, but I think you're onto something there in the community aspect. Maybe people could share learning resources? “Top 15 bookmarks you should have if you're getting into AI programming” or something.
Technically not part of the landing anymore, but I opened the app itself, and it greets me with an error—I don't have an extension set up. Of course I don't, I just got started! Activation experience is important, so I'd suggest designing an onboarding flow to walk your new user through the set-up experience. Documentation is a good start, but if your'e aiming at b2c, it's gotta be more engaging than that.
Site sets cookies (and you use social providers for Auth), so gotta have privacy and cookie policies. I know it's annoying, but better safe than sorry!
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Sorry for my late response, I missed your reply. It is a very detailed feedback on the website. Thank you so much!
