Feedbacks for my landing page are appreciated a lot!
Hi everyone, I am Oben. I am about to run a side project of mine that I had been working on it since 1 month. I have prepared my landing page and asked a couple of comments to the "close" friends of mine for feedbacks.
But, as we all know, almost all of my close friends told me that: "it is a very good landing page" which I believe something may be wrong with this statement.
So, I wanted to ask you all guys for valuable comments.
My Landing Page: https://www.upninja.io?ref=indiehackers
There's so many of these uptime monitors. What makes yours unique?
Most importantly we trust ourselves about the reliability. Many of the uptime monitors make one check only and if they realize a "false" down alarm, they send email. Because of most of the times they are false alarms, it reduces the power of attention of the alarm emails. Because you may think like "Ahh probably this is also a false alarm". So first of all we are making secondary check and we make the secondary check from a different alternative region, not even from the same region. To be able to do that, lets say we make the first check and realised that the monitor rules do not match with the result we got. So it is a down alarm. But, before sending this alarm, we mark this log as "pending confirmation" and immediately, in seconds, we make secondary check randomly from the available regions which is not the same region of first log. If the second one throws an alarm, we make the request with the screenshot. So you will be able to see what we tried and what we got in the end.
Secondly, we are providing honest and affordable pricing system. Most of the "forever free" tools are forever free but all important options are requiring upgrade. Our pricing (https://www.upninja.io/pricing) shows all details honestly and does not have any "other hidden" options that may require upgrading. This is why we are providing 15 days of free trial.
There are other extra mini but cool reasons to choose Up Ninja. As an example we provide web push option. So like you give notification permissions in your chrome or firefox browser, you give the permission to Up Ninja to send you notifications. By that way you don't need to check your e-mail first. Up Ninja sends browser notification to you in addition to email and slack notification.

I can understand your perspective. Your example is one possible scenario and let me explain you my arguments for that. I coded Up Ninja with round robin ping structure. So, what do I mean with that?
You have 1 minute metrics and let's say you are given permission to 3 different regions. (As an example: Nurnberg, Tokyo and Seattle).
In the minute 1, Up Ninja sends the request from Nurnberg and let's say this request is failed. So instantly (without waiting the next 1 minute), Up Ninja makes the second request from one of the available region (except the failed one, randomly selected). Let's say Up Ninja made the request from Tokyo and realised that everything is fine. It did not create the alarm. This one avoided the customer from false alarm (possibly). But what if your condition is happening? One minute later, Up Ninja will make the request from Tokyo, not from Nurnberg. So let's say Tokyo is okay. Next minute from Seattle. Let's say Seattle is also fine. And one minute later Up Ninja will make the request from again, Nurnberg. If Nurnberg fails again, Up Ninja checks if Nurnberg had ever failed in 15 minutes timeline (This value is chosen in purpose, it is more than the max number of regions we have so at least one datapoint will be existing for the beginning of round robin).
If Nurnberg is failing for the second time, it wont make secondary check. It will send the down alarm immediately. I believe this explanation would clarify the things better.

I appreciated your comment. I am currently implementing "per region graph" for response times. But in the end, if the number of datapoints increase, it will make the "average" response value more stable. It is the average, not specific to a special region or a special machine.
To my opinion, making the same request from the same location could also have some cons. For example, you are making the request from the same machine. What if the network of this machine is not stable day by day? I believe the point of uptime for me is to mimic the behaviour of people, such as anyone can view our websites anytime from any country. So in the end, having multi-region based solution sounds nice.
Additionally, I believe you can do the same with Up Ninja. Customers are free to choose a city. So if you choose Nurnberg only as an example, Up Ninja will be making the requests from only one region. If the one region is selected, secondary check will also be made from the same region, instead of alternative region. Does this approach apply to your use case of having single point of ping?
Very nice page. I like it! From the first of view it seems for me that need more spacing between these button https://prnt.sc/qk3wam
I am instresting in lot of new projects and and happy to test and want to know more about them. Maybe its offtopic here but is it possible to know your techstack? :)
Thank you for your feedback. Would be happy if you subscribe, too: https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/up-ninja/
The tech stack, it is a bit complicated to explain but under the hood, it is built on top of nodejs, mongodb, rabbitmq, docker and redis.
Nice! Thanks for your answer. It's enough for me ;)
I'm not going to give you feedback on the product or similar competitors.
Visually when I first look at the page (above the fold) it's off symmetrically. I believe the graphic you are using is the issue as it's not properly centered "visually" with the rest of the text.
It's not an amazing design but gets the information about the product across cleanly. One of the issues with these generalized template designs is no urgency is introduced with the problem being solved.
The next issue is "less is more" here. It's too much text and bullet points of features would be more effective than explanation summary text for every piece of your content you show to the user.
That's it from me.
Thank you for your comments, I will keep in mind of them, especially the less is more part is important for me, too. I was not aware that the amount of text is too much.
Well, it looks good, however I think it looks a bit like hyperping.io, especially to its logo. Hyperping.io is also an uptime monitoring tool.
Are you referring to the landing page or features? Last time I checked how many tools there are and realised that there are millions of them. I inspired from many tools, wrote down pros and cons of them, including hyperping.io. I believe there are many successful tools including hyperping.io and my product is a candidate to be one of them. I tried to have some unique features and hope you may like it.
I saw your landing page, and I remembered Hyperping.io. I am not saying they are exactly the same, but it was just a feeling that it looked like it.
Thank you for your feedback! 👏

6- I tried to fix it. Could you please check it because I am not sure if I understood you correctly.
7- I removed the pre-loader animation from all pages but homepage. How does it sound now?

Hey! Thank you so much.
I removed the moving clock from mobile view and reduced the amount of path the icons take. They were 4-5 px. Now 1-2. So, it should be better now.
Thank you for having really good eyes. I tried to fix hamburger menu and cut off menu issue. I would be appreciated if you can re-check it.
