Feedback on idea (dayatwork.info)? A way to explore what people do at work across industries.

I am creating a website which provides a way for people to explore what people do at work across industries around the world.

Please take a look: https://dayatwork.info

Work is different across industries and can be learnt only from people in those industries

Before I started building the application I asked a couple of questions through a survey.

Some specific Questions for feedback

  • I would like to know whether you would be interested or curious to sign in and read?
  • What kind of features would make you share or talk about this product among your friends/coworkers etc?
  • Who do you think could be a potential target audience?

I would love your feedback (on anything from design to whether people would pay a price for this product). Do let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance!

    Quick (very opinionated) Feedback:

    I find the topic quite interesting and would love to have more information about the work other people are doing.

    I wanted to take a look at your site. But I would only register by email (not twitter, not google, not facebook). I wanted to send you this feedback after browsing your site, but there is no contact information. So I had to google this thread again.

      Hey @oliverbonn,

      Thanks a lot for your feedback.

      I would like to know why you would only register by email? (the website when you login asks only for name, profile picture and email address)

      Thanks a lot for taking the effort to find this thread.
      I have added option to give feedback (through email on the website)

    It's an interesting idea. It's not something I would personally pay for, I think most people that would want to know, would google or youtube 'what is the day to day job like of..'

    However, this could actually be a useful resource for high schools and universities - I think there's a big problem in education where you basically have no idea what the job you've been studying for years for, will actually be like.

    I think you could partner with schools, school boards, universities to share some of this data. Potentially also partner with big job sites that provide general employment resources.

      Hey @adamski thanks a lot for your feedback! I did not think about high schools being a target audience and also about partnerships with schools, school boards and universities.

      What kind of features would make you talk about this product or share this product?

        I think if you had insights or profiles on some interesting occupations (e-sports players?) that would quite share-able, or insights/statistics about particular job categories - like which IT jobs deliver the most happiness vs difficulty, that type of content would be interesting to share.

          Thank you @adamski
