Landing page redesign: Turtle – Link sharing and managing for the knowledge worker
Our first landing page was not well received, so we did a complete redesign: https://turtle.community
- Do you understand the problems we want to solve with Turtle?
- Can you relate with these problems?
- In general, how do you like the design and copy writing?
- Where can we improve?
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Hi !
Idea is very understandable for me.
Yes.
While copyrighting is not my area of expertise I can share some thoughts about visual part:
I like the name and I believe you can play around with logo (currently lines on shell are barely visible on small logo size, and maybe such a great name deserves more 'fun' logo)
Overall design style looks very clean (a lot of white space is good), but with some feeling that it was made by developer (not graphic artist):
You can use 2-3 shades of green or any complimentary colors for some of your sections background (like You did in the footer).
Titles can be painted in green (now all texts has grey color -looks a bit boring)
Filter and icons works good for the idea illustration and can have some beautification too.
Good Luck and have a great day !
Thanks for your detailed feedback!
My pleasure ! :)
I understand the solution, but based on that landing page I don't see the problem it solves.
Bookmarks work for me, sharing by email or whatsapp works for me
Thanks for your feedback. The problem for the solution "browser and device independent application" may be unclear. In particular, a question like 'how do you organize bookmarks between different devices?' could make this problem more understandable.
Would this make it clearer for you?
"Sending links to yourself in a messenger?" is hinting at this problem because some people are sending links from desktop to mobile or vice versa to access a bookmark on different devices. But the problem might be hidden a bit.
Chrome, firefox and probably most modern browsers sync bookmarks across all devices. Is the problem that people don't know how to use bookmarks?
The problem with bookmarks is that you can neither comment, nor 'like', nor share them, i.e. the social aspect is missing. In this sense, Turtle is not intended to replace classic bookmark managers, but to link bookmarks with social aspects (also known as 'social bookmarking'). Does this make sense to you?
Oh you want to build a social/collaborative bookmark management. Something like that: https://raindrop.io/ ?
Raindrop looks more like a conventional bookmark manager to me as it focus on saving and managing links. Did you try it out?
Turtle is more people focused. You can follow people who are sharing interesting links. You can comment on all shared links and see how often a link was saved to have a metric for quality content. There is also a score for every user as a reward for sharing good content. Finally, a noise filter is preventing overcommunication.
I haven't tried Raindrop but I see what you wan to do.
I think you should put in your landing what you told me, it would be much clearer ;)
Thanks, already on it ;)
Hi, the idea is clear but how I would add the link to this app. Copy-pasting is not my preferred method.
On desktop or mobile? On desktop you can use the browser extensions [1]. Sharing a link while browsing in one click or via the shortcut CTRL+SPACE. On mobile, we are currently working on a neat integration to share and store links.
