What do you like? Not like? Does it communicate what we do? Is anything unclear? Does it look sketchy? What do you wish we talked more/less about?

    I agree with the other comments, very clear what this product does from the start.

    Two things:

    1. The free vs premium tier comparison is a bit off. I would have expected the two comparable items to the on the same line
    2. I think it would be good for the chat bot to have an outbound message. I know these get annoying at times, but you can always click them away if not appropriate.

      That's great feedback. We'll take a look at the tier features again, thanks!

      As for the chat bot, I think you are right. We are also obviously not available 24/7 to answer it so we need to disable it during non-work hours.

    The message is very clear, I knew what your product is about in the first few seconds after the page load.
    I would just change some design details (ie there are 3 different button designs, the viyo shadow is too dark IMO)

      Thanks for the feedback! Yea, inconsistencies like that bug me too :) We started from a template to try and get the landing page out quicker. We should have just designed it from the ground up. We are constantly trying to improve and iterate on it tho.

    I think it's almost perfect. And I don't stay this often :)

    .. I'd increase font size for the default body text, it was bit hard to read, and when website is "bit hard to read" then it detracts from the overall "easy" claim of the product. Maybe also features <h4> font size could be bigger.

    .. In "Getting started" section I'd consider AB testing with variant that removes first two sentences, so that it would start straight "All you need are two devices:...", and then increase the font size a lot. When 'getting started' is shorter with bigger font, it appears easier. Stupid, but it's just those human psychology things.

    .. I'm not sure if benefits or comparisons are needed, but I'd AB test with added section that describes how much time/money/whatever the user will save.

    Hope this helps & best of luck

      This is really feedback! Thank you for being so specific with your advice :) We don't have the site setup to do AB testing yet but it's something we are planning soon. I think at the moment we are just trying to get our product out there and actually get some traffic to the website.

      What's been your experience with this? Do you think it makes sense to hold off from AB testing until we get more traffic or would you setup something like this from the start?

        To have proper 'statistical significance' for AB test you need a lot of visitors (Google for "AB test calculator"). But part of being a startup is that you need to make guesses based on insufficient information.

        Comparing even dozen visitor recordings can give good gut feeling. For example if you add the "benefits" or "compared to" section, you can see whether visitors stop there to read it, or if they scroll over quickly. If they stop there to read it, it seems to indicate they are interested about the topic, and if the copy text is convincing then your conversion rate probably increases (and if the copy text is shit it probably decreases :)

        You can start doing gut-feel AB testing from day 0, but if you are in middle of the famous "Launching" thing, or are just about to start, i would not stop/postpone launching for the sake of adding AB testing.

        Good luck!

          That makes sense. Thanks again for the info and advice :)

      We are currently doing our motion detection on the client side. It's pretty rudimentary (I'm sure compared to what you're used to) but it actually works fairly well. The very simplified version is that we take 2 screenshots and do a comparison of pixels.

      You are right that this is a greater drain on the battery/CPU. However this solution has gotten us by so far and is an opt in feature.

      Right now we are trying to keep things light and cheaper on the backend. Also, processing video breaks our model of not recording/storing video. Would love to get you take on object detection in the browser if you have some experience with that tho! We did some proof of concepts with Tensorflow but it's a bit heavy for the browser 😁
