Do you understand what the project is about? (y/n)

I'm about to do Product Hunt and Hackernews launch, and would love to get a quick y/n on whether you understand what the project is about.

Bonus points if you can provide any extra feedback :)

    Is it General Ledger API backend to make developer life easier when develop an accounting/financial app?

    1. 1

      yes! great description, thank you! I will use that :)

        people with no financial/accounting background will get a hard time understanding what your service is offered. Like what is 'general ledger' and 'double-entry accounting system'?

        If your target market is people with accounting/financial knowledge you're good to go. As I have a major in accounting I easily understand what is your service about.

        You might want to make your copy less technical, focus on the benefit of the service you offer.

        Also, your landing page looks good, how do you build it? Do you build it from scratch?

        1. 1

          great! definitely going to incorporate that, I'm focusing on developers and they might not have deep domain knowledge. I will take out some of the jargon

          I used the Cruip.com free templates :) (http://cruip.com/free-templates/)

          They have very nice paid ones as well, I should get the paid version as the product gets traction

    I think at first glance it communicates clearly to the target demographic. I think to non-finance-devs they'll gloss over it and close the tab. Unfortunately "ledger" has been co-opted by the blockchain world. At first I thought this was for blockchain until I saw Visa/MC so you might want to add some information around that. Being a technical subject you might want to add some "read more" or "learn more" links for technical people who do want to know more.

    Hope that helps,

      wow, that was fantastic!

      didn't think of the ledger-blockchain link, I will work on that.

      I will work on all of them.

      Thank you very much!

        Yeah, blockchain has ruined many things....

    Sounds like a a blockchain API to do credit card transactions? I know that's not what it is, hence the "I don't understand what the project is about"

    1. 1

      great first thought understanding, it's great to hear those, thank you!!

      definitely get the idea, will work on that
