Launched my side project, would love some feedback
by
Dan Willoughby
I launched
https://pushback.io
today. I would love any feedback if anyone wants to try it out.
Congrats on the launch, Dan!
As a developer myself, I love simple tools like this that can be used in a myriad of ways.
My top piece of feedback: I'd really tailor your landing page to your target customer. If that's developers, make it even more focused on developers and the top ways they'd use PushBack. Drive home the problem/solution – the why. Above the fold is a bit too heavy on the what.
Thanks for your feedback. I've been struggling by being in the "solution looking for a problem" phase. Ultimately, I built the website because I wanted to learn more about the technology I chose to make it with (happens to a lot of people and I fell into the same trap). I think that's why the landing page isn't very targeted, because it is just a thing I built, not really solving any particular problem I had. I mean, I use it now for some things, but slack would work just as well for my use cases or the other established push notification services. I guess you could say that my problem was I didn't know how to build a website/saas, so the solution was building Pushback.
Today was kinda a last ditch effort before I moved on to something else I think.
I think @jstayton thoughts are pretty much what I would have feedbacked. Since you are charging already for the service, I would deffo work on the design of the overall product page to gain more trust. It is a pro tool … but atm I the design of the product page doesn't promise that yet — it's a bit wonky ✌🏻
Love it, amazing tool — keep up the energy!
I am not a developer but I think the key to gaining traction is to understand where a feature like this truly matters. Clearly, it seems to be some combination of time-critical and a vital, but simple decision point, that goes beyond "If this then do that", like in DevOps or similar where there are cost involved in doing something. Ask your early user what they are doing to see if a pattern emerges.
Hi. I think it looks great, but where's the examples for C# ? ;-)
I also think your pricing seems reasonable, great that you can try it out as a developer for $0
