I have just launched my very first project on Product Hunt! 🥳 [identid me]

After months of 12-hour workdays, I finally launched on Product Hunt!

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/identid-me

We all pursue a dream, but achieving it is not an easy task. We have created identid.me to help creatives stand out from the crowd and have the online portfolio that really shows what they are made of. 🚀

From our own experience and from other creatives we've talked to, we know that there are hardly any online portfolio platforms where the pages load fast and don't all look the same. Besides, they tend to take quite a long time to build a single portfolio.

That is why we have created an intuitive, simple platform with integrations so that it doesn't take you more than 5 minutes to create your portfolio.

Since this is the first time we do something like this, we are aware that may appear one or two bugs, you may also find something broken that we didn't notice before.

That's why we would really appreciate your support and feedback on the same!

Feel free to create your free portfolio and give us your honest opinion to help us improve. 💛

Thank you!

    Congrats on the launch!

    I think it’s pretty interesting.

    Here’s my feedback:

    When I click “Get my free portfolio”, I’m hoping to just try out the editor. And if I like it in the end, I can create an account and sign up for this. Signing up just turned me off in that instant. You need to make it seamless for the user to get started with as little friction as possible.

    The payment modal. You’re charging monthly.. what if your user just needs one portfolio, sends it to employers, and boom, they get a job (yay! 🎉). They probably won’t need your service much longer and keeping that subscription over the course of several months to years can be a hefty price to pay for something you don’t use. I suggest making it a fixed, one time price for each portfolio they build. Most won’t be building multiple, so this should work just fine. Then, if they want the pro features, make them pay extra.

    Other then that, great product! I’m excited to see where this goes. 👏

      Thank you so much for your feedback! Really useful, didn't think on the pricing like that but I'll think about it.

      Again thank you, this is so helpful. 💜

    Already 100+ upvotes? Wow. You are lucky.
    When I launched DocTranslator.com on PH few weeks ago, we've only got 2 upvotes one of which was mine))
    Do you know what might be the problem?

    P.S. I noticed that when you google doctranslator on PH, it is not found. Do you know why? I am a newbie.

      If you only got 2 upvotes, it sounds like you started off on the wrong foot. ProductHunt probably gets 100+ submissions every day, and the tail end isn't viewed much (take a look at the bottom posts - lots of spam), so you need to get a little PH traction on your own.

      When we launched, we had to reach out to our network, friends, Twitter + IH, to get the little bump in votes. Once we did that and were bordering on the home page, we managed to stay there through PH views alone.

      Our network wasn't very big, but they were still critical to the PH launch.

        That's exactly what we have done. Although we don't have a community created, we have been trying to reach upvotes through different social networks.

        They are not much, but enough for staying in the top 5 products of the day during the whole day.

        1. 1

          We did announce on IH and Twitter. Didn't help. Upvotes didn't come and our product didn't get any traction.
          The main problem, if you search PH for our product keyword, it is not coming up. Is there some kind of penalty?

          1. 1

            If you didn't get traction maybe you have to look where the problem is. Maybe the copy was not attractive enough? Or even the design, try to check it out

          That's how the landing appears in your computer?

          1. 2

            Actually, I've changed the font to have a look and feel on the new font.

              Ok! Thank you for your feedback, I have just told the designer of the team. He'll think about it. :)
