      Sounds impressive, I looked into your demo video, I have some question, If I have some CSS class with no html reference for that class, but dynamically I will add that class by JS and then it will will the css class, so does your framework understands if
      the css is going to be used in future?

      1. 1

        hey good question! If a specific user action is needed (e.g. submit a comment on a blog post), the service has no way of knowing it, so you can mark those classes with a CSS comment and the service will include them anyway.

        In general there wouldn't be many classes that appear conditionally.

        If the CSS comes from JS code that executes on pageload, then yes, it will be included automatically because the service is using Headless Chrome to execute code on the page.

    2. 1

      This looks really interesting. Do you have any data/tests that show the improved performance (like a "before vs after")?

      1. 1

        Feel like the benefit to using a product like that is directly tied to how much unused CSS you have. If you're diligent and already doing some local tree shaking and bundling your stuff up correctly, probably not going to see much impact.

        Obviously smaller files are served faster, but if you're only trimming off a few dozen bites, you're probably not going to feel any improvement.

        Biased as a developer (in terms of both opinion and ability to implement), but bundling your CSS into smaller chunks along with your code so you're avoiding a monolithic CSS files at the build stage is probably going to give you your biggest benefit.

        Also, slapping something like CloudFlare's CDN to make sure things are served from them instead of directly will end up showing some sort of benefit.

    SailsGoal.com -- Put your boat-buying search into Bristol fashion by keeping track of vessel parameters and estimating purchase & ownership costs.

    Buying a boat has all of the challenges of buying a house and a used car rolled into one. The real costs, particularly maintenance and dockage, catch many first-time owners by surprise. And there's no MLS, unlike the housing market, so buyers view listings on many different websites and can easily lose track of them. It's my hope that SailsGoal addresses these problems by providing a home base for users to note boats they're interested in and run realistic cost calculations. I wish something like this had existed when I bought my first boat.

    Thank you for offering to do this -- it's a really clever idea.

    Sidemail.io — Sidemail helps you deliver emails to your customers, users, and subscribers in the easiest way possible. 💌

    We just extended our early adopter program (with free 1500 emails per month) so this is excellent timing!

    I see a lot of good products here, so good luck picking just five! :)

    1. 1

      "In the easiest way possible" gives zero insight to what you're actually doing. When it comes to email, deliverability tends to be the main statistic that people focus on, do you improve deliverability at all, if so, how?

      Hey sorry for the late reply,

      Hi, really cool idea, as I sometimes get frustrated I do write on paper and it helps me to clear my mind a lot. I used it and liked the clean interface

      Some suggestions:

      1. "Start a meaningful reflection practice..." write something simple so any layman can understand as I am not aware of "meaningful reflection" term it took me a while to understand what is it, In landing page user should see the value within 5 sec

      2. Try to move the example videos above

      1. 1

        helpful feedback thank you!

      indeed this was fun to use :) I will definitely will it, this has a great potential just work little on UI and add a tutorial video how it works :)

      Going to tweet about it http://twitter.com/prnysarkar

    Nice initiative @prnysarkar 💪
    Could you check my product - Owwly. We build a tool to discover new startups and share product's progress.
    Have a nice week!

    1. 1

      Hey I already checked your product it is pretty awesome, what I liked all other alternatives ask money to publish, but in owwly I was able to do it without payment wall, so curious to know how your business model works?

      Thanks for Awesome Owwly

    2. 1

      It's a nice tool but pity that it's built with a frontend framework like Angular :|
      Google will have a hard time crawling the page

      1. 1

        why do you say this? google built angular

        1. 1

          Google built Angular but it's an SPA framework, meaning if you go ahead and view the page source, the content is not there, but added by JavaScript.

          That means you will need to rely and hope on Googlebot's ability to render and understand JavaScript. There are techniques to go around this in the SEO world, but still it would be good if people would find Owwly when googling for specific products.

    colofon.io - All-in-One Writing app

    Thanks

    1. 1

      Hi, I liked your idea, In fact, I need this kind of thing as I am an online tutor (part-time) It will be great if I can write all the necessary things as a book and share with my students.

      Some suggestions:

      1. The initial try is blocked by the login. let the user see the benefits before login
      2. Create a new project, put all the thing in the middle
      3. There show be a preview button or auto preview kind of feature
      4. There should be an insert image option.

      I think you should not restrict it to be a specific category of books because all books are the same only, I wanted to start with writing a book for coding, not more than 2 chapters and publish it as a hosted book so that I can share a link or pdf.

      1. 1

        Thanks a lot for your feedback!

        1. A demo would be nice indeed but Colofon is project oriented so it would defeat the purpose. I need to think about it.
        2. I'm not sure ... what do you mean exactly?
        3. You can make a project public in the settings. So you have an URL to access the whole book from anywhere.
        4. That's an upcoming feature ;)

    1. 1

      Piqued my interest with it being musical equipment. Site feels extremely dated, and thus, I feel like I wouldn't feel comfortable using it. Also, I added crap to my cart and wasn't really pushed to actually continue with the transaction. Ebay's button is "BUY NOW" for a reason.

      1. 1

        Thanks for checking out the site. This really great feedback - I have been struggling with finding a direction on how to get users through the pipeline from landing page to complete listing or checkout. This helps tremendously. Did you view the site on desktop or mobile?

        1. 1

          Desktop, and overall wasn't bad, just seemed like it needed a designers touch to take it from looking like stock bootstrap-y stuff to something wonderful.

          Clicking add to cart left me a bit... lost.. since I had never been on the site, don't have an account and all, I had to try to figure out what to do next.

          You could easily push people into those next steps "great, now you got stuff in your cart, ready to check out, or want to keep shopping?" or whatever, just to hint at the next part of the journey

    https://oneprofile.page — a landing page builder. Thank you, Pranoy :)

    1. 1

      Why do your landing pages convert? It's an anecdotal statement, would be nice to have a bit of quantification as to why in your main one-liner. Also, outside of being "easier" what sets you apart from the bajillion other landing page creators out there?

      1. 1

        Thank you for your insights, Joshtronic. Honestly, I don't know what sets it apart. I created this for my own use and others somehow found it nice and requested to create one of their own. So I turned it into a saas to make things easier. Just trying to grow it here :)

        1. 1

          Okay, so follow up to that... why did you create this for your own use? What did other tools fail at to spark you?

          1. 1

            Sure! Before it turned into a landing page builder, I first created a personal page of my own using the same template.

            Other personal page builders are quite expensive like about.me at $79 per year. I didn't want to use full-fledged website builders like Wordpress, Wefblow, Wix or Squarespace because they are too expensive for my simple use case, a one-pager. Carrd.co was a really great alternative but I found it to be quite difficult to navigate around and was pretty overwhelmed by the many templates.

            In the end, I coded my own personal page which costs me only a few bucks and shared it around. People loved it, they wanted the same and didn't mind using the same template because it looked sleek and simple to them—here's mine as an example, https://maker.giftworks.io. Some are willing to pay a premium to connect their own custom domain.

            So, I launched a subscription business and created oneprofile.info. Launched it on Product Hunt and thankfully got to #1 product of the day! A couple of comments on my launch page said they would actually use it for their product landing page. From there, I decided to create a separate product called oneprofile.page which I'm referring to in my previous comment here.

            Here's my PH launch page for reference: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/one-profile

            Hope it was a good story :P Sorry if it was too long, got a little bit too excited!

            1. 1

              Not at all, awesome story!

              Landing page builders tend to be one of the 2-3 products I see folks on here building, so was curious about your "why" in that regard :)

              Keep hacking!

              1. 1

                Thanks, @joshtronic!

                Yeap, that's actually true! I saw a couple of the same products while browsing some time ago, haha.

                Thanks again! Take care and keep healthy :)

      How is this better than slack's unreads?

      1. 1

        We do multiple things beyond telling you a message is unread. Some examples:

        • Easily link items from other tools like trello, asana, github, google docs.
        • Weekly summaries generated automatically.
        • Consistent formatting for the updates so they are easier to scan.
        1. 2

          Great, but do those things actually save me time and money? Feature lists are all anecdotal in terms of results. Your home page mentions integrations, but doesn't paint of pain portrait in terms of why my life sucks why you'd make it better.

          Calculator is a cute idea (and something I've blogged about). I wouldn't make users click to get there, and just embed it right on the home page. Additionally, I'd pre-fill the calc in with some values to immediately show the cost.

          Also worth the mention, the dollar amount of a meeting isn't nearly as important as how many hours you spend. A 1 hour meeting with 4 people is a HALF DAY of lost productivity, 8 people, a full day.

          1. 1

            Very good points on the calculator. Thank you.

    Pull request dashboard for teams. Helps reviewing and merging PRs on GitHub faster by instantly showing all status updates on a single screen.

    1. 1

      I manage PRs across a ton of repos at work, and we have solved this with 2 bookmarks in our browser, one to show our personal PRs and another to show the ones waiting to be reviewed (across all repos in both scenarios). Not a bad idea, but easy to get by without it.

      1. 1

        That's nice. PRBoard is definitely not something you can live without, but it has some nice features.

        Curious how do you handle cases when there're multiple teams working on many repos? How can you differentiate who which team should review which PR? A similar case - one big monorepo with multiple teams.

        We also have some niceties - like showing if PR is important, stale or allowing people to mark PRs as "under review".

        1. 1

          Presently, small enough team that we don't run into that. In the past with larger teams, we just assigned the right people to the PR (fully aware that doesn't scale that far either).

          PRs in Github (and I presume Gitlab as well) can have labels assigned to them, so the P1 stuff is easy to work into the mix. Like the idea of a stale PR, especially if it's time based and/or related to the PR being behind master enough to cause conflicts.

          Under review is probably the feature that I'd be the most interested in. Not a current problem usually, but have definitely run into a scenario where somebody was half through a review and I didn't realize it. Simple fix tend to be just assigning the PR to yourself vs. a collective "devs" or team group.

      1. your "Welcome to Akademia!" page, all the round circles I thought some kind of checklist I tried to click, it would be better to fill the round balls then it will look like points

      2. A quick tutorial video must be added not able to understand when to do what, not able to figure out how to add client, I think Client is student

    Thanks :)

    1. 1

      Pikaso:
      Glad to see that something exists like this, today I posted something on twitter I wanted to post this same on WhatsApp status, so I needed to do it by copy-pasting. Now it will be easier for me:)

      Suggestion :

      1. The call to action should be a big button(not link) I took me a while to find how it works, I initially looked to the tools section and then I saw the "Sign In with Twitter to get started." link

      2. Download Image should be a big button

      3. It would be great if you pre-populate last 2 tweets

      4. Basically what user will do? mainly they will share in some other medium so give some sharing options as well like share on WhatsApp, share on FB, etc.

      This tool has very good potentials & I will be using it Thank you

      1. 1

        Happy to hear that you like it :)

        Thanks for the great suggestions.

    https://versoly.com/ Website builder :)

    Let me know if you need anything testing.

    1. 1

      I really liked your product, as it is not asking to signup at the beginning and user is able to see his/her benefits without any agreement it will surely improve your conversion rate.

      Some Suggestion: As I want to add a form and wanted to see how the data will be stored. Surely I know you have this functionality but I don't know where are those option or where to find help, so it would be great if you can add some context-aware help means when I click form instead of showing "No forms exist" you can also so a simple tutorial how to create form and other functionalities of form.

      One more thing, I understand all the controls are very important but at first glance, it is overwhelming from the UX perspective, It would be great if you can put controls in a collapsible panel so when the user needs first-time auto to expand and give option to hide and expand the pannel

      1. 2

        Thanks!

        Great idea to show example data.

        Interesting, when we did user testing they never got around to opening it. Should test again and see if that has changed.
