Landing Page feedback 🎨

by Walter

Hello fellow hackers 👋,

I've just finalized the landing page for my new side project: https://sweetr.dev

I'm looking for feedback on the landing page. Have in mind that this app hasn't been launched or marketed yet.

A few points I'd like your feedback on:

Does it look legit?
Do you understand what it does?
Is the design interesting/sleek?
If you are a developer - do you see value in the features listed?
Is anything unclear?
Any additional suggestions?

A few considerations:

I'll be adding social proof once I have it.
This is an MVP, I don't want to spend a lot of time fine-tuning the website right now. Looking for low-effort high-impact opportunities.
Docs/blog will be added later down the road.
I foresee a good chunk of my traffic coming from GitHub's marketplace.

Thank you very much! :)

Walter

Hi it think probably good to have a "contact us" page where users may submit requests, or maybe I missed it!

It's cool that you used the design style of GitHub. I didn't feel out of place.

The title emphasizes that the app is a GitHub app. It could instead describe its main purpose.

  I've updated the title to "Speed up your team's development workflow" - does that look better? https://sweetr.dev

    Definitely better than before :) I think it describes the main purpose well.

  Thanks for the feedback :)
  
  I agree the main title could use some better copy. Any suggestions?
  
  And, would you say you were able to understand it's main purpose?
  
  Thanks!

    "Unleash the Power of GitHub: Streamline Workflows and Increase Efficiency!", which is an ambitious title that describes the main purpose of the application.
    
    It's your product, you know it better than me. You can produce a title like this.

Feedback from the perspective of Fullstack Developer.
- The title doesn't feel that useful to me "The github app for dev experience", I kinda feel all github apps should do that. The sub description is good though.
- Not sure how I feel about "Install on GitHub", it's a bit of of a stretch for me to randomly install this software without knowing what it does or seeing any reviews. You might have better luck doing a "See how it works" that scrolls to the next section and explains what the app actually does.
- Design is fine
- The PR labeler seem more useful to me than the dependency changes, but that still seems useful if it works nicely with dependabot.

  Hi Jeane, thank you very much for the feedback :)
  
  Yeah I need better ideas for the copy haha rationale there was positioning the company and its goal of building DX-focused tools.
  
  I like the scroll button idea to see features first. As a dev, were you compelled to scroll down to understand it?
  
  I'm glad you see the usefulness of both features. I agree PR Labeler is likely a higher-impact one.
  
  Again, thanks for your time 🙇🏻‍♂️

    I was mainly compelled to scroll because I didn't want to install a random app.

As a full-time developer, it seems to me that the features your app is offering are dependencies changes & PR size labeling, both of them are not really beneficial to my daily workflow. Once the project is set up, dependencies are usually stable and we won't change the versions much. For PR size labeling, it's a nice UI add-on, but in GitHub PR, I can always see how many lines are changed, so it doesn't add a lot of value to me

  Hi Stan,
  
  thank you very much for the feedback, I loved the copy suggestion!
  
  I'll likely add a contact us page this week - more pages I think I'll leave in the backlog so I can focus again on adding features :)
  
  Thanks again!

It's good with useful features and FAQs are nice to clarify privacy concerns. But the following things can be improved:
- It took some time for me to search for features and understand them. Feature screenshots and their descriptions are tightly packed. You can place feature explanations one after the other vertically. And for each feature, text and screenshots can be side by side.
- You may also highlight the feature in the screenshot for quick understanding. For example, highlight Tiny, Medium, etc in the PR size labeler screenshot.

  I agree, the features section could be clearer. A few others have mentioned something similar. Thanks for the feedback :)
