Testing out a new idea and before I build it, I want to see if there is any interest in the idea. Check out this signup page and let me know what you think. Feedback if very welcome!

This done yet? I'm building a job board and need it! :)
Not quite yet! Working as fast as I can though!
Hey Paul,
I really like what you've built with WeCode NI - sheer simplicity & great search :) Will boardrocket look and run similar?
I'm developing a board for internships and your product looks ideal for what I'm after. I'd love to be your first customer.
Let me know if you're interested in working together. Shoot me an email. I'm just down the road too :)
Thanks
Shay
Hi Shay!
It will work almost exactly like WeCode NI, with likely some styling options. We're a few months away from a full fledged product, but as soon as we have a beta version ready, I'll get in touch and you can be the first to try it out! :)
Paul
Great, can't wait :)
Some examples will be great, also like a 10-second video showing how easy it is. You're selling the fact that it's free a wee bit too hard. I'll focus on the easy to set up part. People will still sign-up based on how easy it is. Maybe a chat widget too for engagement. Otherwise looks good. I like the idea. I would want to use it for local classifieds :) Any plans for that?
I love this idea. I have a few niche-market job board ideas, and this seems like it might be a great way to do that, quickly, rather than code it out myself. I THINK that's what you're trying to do - if so, you hit the nail on the head. The only thing I could think of adding is an example, or something of the like, to help illustrate what it is boardrocket does.
That is exactly the idea. The landing page does not do a great job of explaining that right now though. I have some work to do!
Nice idea Paul!
I can see this being used by all sorts of communities to try to drive revenue. As a developer, I see it time and again that all of the "framework-specific" sites like Laravel, Vue, etc have job postings as a means to make money, and companies are often willing to pay big money to hire developers and other positions. So I'm guessing your audience is more or less that type of content creator or community host.
What's your validation strategy?

That is exactly the kind of audience I expect to initially capture with this platform. As for validation strategy, I'm thinking of using that landing page. Drive some traffic to it and gauge the interest from there. Any tips on validation would be appreciated!
Have you got any designs of the platform? If so use it on the site, adds so much more context to what I'm signing up for, a good example is https://invoy.co or https://stripe.com/gb/payments
Personally, I rarely sign up for a service unless I know what the UI looks like.
Very valid point. I'll be improving that landing page over the next day so an re-post it for more feedback
One question I have is: Who is this product for? Is it for companies, is it for indie hackers, is it for organizations?
Great feedback. I'll make a few changes this evening and share it again.
I'm not sure I understand what you're offering. Is it a CMS for running a job board? Without more of a value statement and list of features I wouldn't sign up even though I'd be interested in hearing more.
Perfect, it will be a platform for creating your own job board and making money. I'll add that info and more to the landing page and share again for feedback.
