How's this landing page for my latest side-project?

    A couple of thoughts:

    • Love the interactive examples!
    • Lots of code, very little description what it is useful for, why I should add it to my page.
    • "Privacy first": While I love privacy first products, very few website owners will probably care about their users' privacy enough for it to be so high up on the page.
    • "Host it yourself 💻": Isn't the whole point of your service to make adding the widget as easy as possible? Hosting something myself seems contradictory.

    I would split marketing and documentation into separate pages. On the marketing page tell me why I should use your solution. On the docs page tell me how.

      Thanks very much - this is really great feedback to work from!

      Thanks for the point about all the code. I did originally want to keep it to a single page but I can see how it could be acting as a deterrent.

      About privacy, I did originally have it lower down on the page but I could've overstated how much other people might care about it.

      As for the "Host it yourself" bit, absolutely agree that there's some mixed messaging going on. I wanted to say that it's possible to implement your own backend if you want, but I think it's probably something that can just be in the docs.

        Glad that I could help!

        Try to talk to as many people as possible in order to better understand your (potential) users. Some of them might have different opinions than me.

        I could've overstated how much other people might care about [privacy].

        My guess is that people care more about their own privacy than the privacy of their users. But again, talk to as many people as possible to find out what they want. Posting this question was a great first step!
