Kuttle - The Solution to Web Content Creator Funding

https://regios.dev/kuttle/

I'm validating a business idea of mine. It's turned out to be a little harder to describe than I had thought, because I'm not aware of many similar existing services. The goal is something in the vein of the Netflix or Spotify, but for Web content. Instead of being bombarded by ads and independent paywalls, a subscription to this service grants you access to all partnered sites. That is to say, there's one common paywall/adwall for all partnered sites, and user subscriptions fund creators.

Thanks in advance to anyone who gives feedback!

    I like the idea.

    In terms of design I would make the text smaller in width. Long rows of text are really hard to read on large screens. Also I think you should reduce the size of your headings a bit, because they take up huge amounts of space.

    I think the copy gives me a good idea of what the product is about, it's just not displayed to read it easily.

    Also I would think of a different slogan than "A NEW WAY TO BROWSE." My initial thoughts were along the lines of a web browser and not a content portal. But that might just be me.

    Do you plan on hosting the content on your app/site or on the content creators site? How do you differ from lets say Medium?

      Thanks, I'll definitely make those design changes. And no, I wouldn't be hosting anyone's content. Rather, the main point of interaction is a script they would set on their page that would check if the user were a paying subscriber to the given site, and display an ad if not.

    Idea is very good, i too thought of this idea multiple times but i think it requires an incredibile amount of effort to get partners to join your project and without partners nobody would pay or register to your project.
    Anyhow landing page drives the message correctly.

      Thanks - I'm reviving this idea now, and before I even start building the MVP, my goal will be marketing, and connecting with as many partner sites as possible.

    I think I understand. I think your idea has potential. The hard work is getting partnered sites to join.

    Here are my thoughts:

    • You should describe what type of content or partnered websites a user will be able to access.
    • Explain how payouts work for partnered websites.

      Thanks for the feedback. For now, I'll be focusing mostly on marketing to partner sites, and getting as many of them lined up as possible before launching the product.

      Ideally, they'll be able to get their sites set up in just a few clicks, before we even go live.
