Is this interesting or distracting?
Hi there.
I've founded melbado.
Now, I had the idea that it would be interesting for visitors to vote on the nature of the startup. E.g. here: https://melbado.com/s/Bolt
Do you think this is interesting or distracting for the viewer?
And do you think, that this scares many makers from posting their project?
Thank you for any feedback on this!
UPDATE
I've removed the voting system for now. For more details, please check the comments.
Yes in general this certainly interesting but I agree with marijnroukens the wording might not be the best choice here. Crazy could either be seen positive or negative. Predictable is pretty negative. So I think you should have two positives and also less ambiguous scales.
Thank you for your input. Do you have any suggestions?
Hmm not that easy I have to say, out of my head I can only think of
Solid instead of Predictable and Unique instead of crazy
I've updated the scale to solid vs. unique. Thanks again for the input! I think this makes it much more positive and less ambiguous.
That sounds great!
I think it is a nice feature but I don't know if it should be included in your platform. I could cause negativity and you normally want some kind off ranking system that only stimulates positivity. Like on IH we can only upvote, not downvote. Or on FB you can like but not dislike.
This was just my first thought about it so don't take it as facts, anyway good luck! 🙏 Would love to hear your opinion here too; https://www.indiehackers.com/post/help-me-with-ideas-and-ill-owe-you-one-445c28913c :)
Thank you! I've also given feedback to your project. (I think you need a detailed case study on your landing page)
Build - Measure - Learn.
Results are in, here is the learning: Makers don't like it if people vote on the "uniqueness" of their project. So I removed it. Back to testing the next feature.
Thanks for all your support!
