I'll start first — https://www.makerbox.club/
Don't hesitate to drop some truth bombs 😅
My very rough landing page just to do some idea validation:
https://mocker.app/timeadvisor
I think this is a good foundation! But it took me a while to understand what the product is -- the first thing I read, "Your Time Advisor will be with you soon", doesn't tell my anything about the problem or your solution to it.
It'd also be nice to have some more colorful icons or graphics to make things stand out a bit more!
Thanks! That’s helpful to hear, I’ll keep iterating on that first message to make it more clear. Colors and graphics will be improved as I have more to show for it.
I liked a lot
— animation is sick
— copy is friendly and short
— colors are great (but maybe 1 more contrast color would be nice)
Could be better
— Value proposition on the first screen could be better
— Would love to see some images / gifs and so on
— To be honest, I didn't understand the product 100% and how it's different from competitors
It's a great start. Hope this feedback helps to get more waitlist users 🔥
Thanks! That’s helpful, I’ll be working on improving the value prop on the first screen for sure. Images and gifs will come as I have more of it built out.
It’s more of a time management assistant than a todo/calendar app, but I’ve been struggling to convey what exactly that means. As is, I definitely get that it’s hard to see how this is different.
Are there any specific competitors that came to mind for you?
Commenting on https://www.makerbox.club/
Honestly, I think this is a phenomenal landing page. The two strongest things that stood out to me were:
The “Not another Airtable list” section – LOL I had all of those thoughts at some point while going through the page, and liked the counterpoints.
The “How it works” section – clear expectations are 🔥
If there are weak points, I think it’s just that Airtable does not make for compelling UI screenshots. That, and “Home” is the metadata title of the site instead of something more descriptive like “MakerBox”.
I’m not really looking for any new tools at the moment, but I have MakerBox bookmarked for later!
Thank you for the feedback! Happy to hear you liked it
100% agree with weak points — will fix it
Thanks!
Here is mine!

OK, I have done my duty, here's mine: https://jelytics.com/
I'm especially interested in one thing: what stopped you from leaving your email address right away?
Just took a look at your landing page - below is a link some feedback. I hope some of it is helpful!
Jelytics Feedback
Thank you so much for your thorough analysis! Really love the tool that you're using!
hey there!
I liked a lot:
— "jelytics is not for you if" block
— clear value proposition and competitors differentiation
Could be better:
— design is pretty basic, I would expected something more minimalistic and premium from analytical tool
— CTA is pretty unclear (free waitlist / 30% discount / 6 month free if chat)
— no social proof or storytelling. I have some trust issues right here
hope it helps. this looks like a game-changing product
Thanks a lot, totally agree on all points (including the one about a game-changing product😉)! It's just that the product is not built yet, so I couldn't put any social proof. And I used a template, of course, but I hear what you say about the design.
Re https://www.makerbox.club/: "A list of the best tools for Makers with a GENEROUS Freemium plan" is a much better H2 than "Get the list of 600 products with a GREAT Freemium plan." so I would move it to the top. Because "600 products" is not very clear -- is it 600 razor blades? 600 packs of beer? "Best tools for makers" sounds much better.
Also, you can probably sell a less expensive package of say 60 tools for early-stage founders.
Also, it would be much more valuable if you could provide some pros and cons -- "top" and "okay" are not saying much to me, I need to decide if this particular tool is good for my specific needs (single founder, early stage).
Our landing page gets ~1k visits per month and 3% conversion. How can we improve our conversion?

Pricewell Feedback
Thanks for the feedback Clay. Symposium seems really nice!
I've been thinking about how to improve/overhaul the landing page for https://www.saaspegasus.com/
If anyone has ideas or feedback, I'd love to get some!
Just took a look at your site, looks like a great product! I have some feedback below on the landing page, hopefully you find some of it helpful:
Pegasus Feedback
Wow, this is awesome feedback. Also cool app! I'll run through it in more detail and try and use the app to respond.
Thanks for the thoughtful review!
The hero image doesn't tell me much. I'd rather see an image of what I get (see what Gravity did on their landing page).
I love the social proof but it gets confused with the tech stack images too. Do you have google as a customer, it kinda looks like it.
The landing page also seems very cluttered, try adding some space between the sections.
You could also address doubts a bit better. Mentioning "no credit card required" and "money-back guarantee" if you offer those might improve sign up for the demo.
Great feedback, thanks!
@dmh, @Gui, @lgrammel, @tao_oat mind to give some feedback for MakerBox ( https://www.makerbox.club/)? 👉👈
Looking great overall!
Here are 2 improvement ideas:
Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate your time
Hey, looking very good. Here's my thoughts (rather than doing a good/bad list, I give you my thought process as I discover it):
The above the fold is very colorful and gets my attention.
I read "Build and grow your product", and my reaction is "yes, I'm part of the audience".
"People love MakerBox, This is mutual" - quirky copy, very nice.
Then right below, with those 3 boxes, things start to be a little busier and I'm not quite sure how to scan the page, in which order I should read things. So I skip and scroll down a bit more.
And the section between "we had a startup idea" and "That's why we created MakerBox" isn't quite clear to me. I seem to understand indie entrepreneurs burn money during their journey, but I'm not fully sure that's what you mean. That leaves me a little confused, and would love a little more clarity.
'Not the “Free trial for 2 hours” type' -> yes, I feel that pain.
Then the section with the chat gets me back on track. Very nice (although could be a tad shorter maybe. took me a second or third scroll to actually read it)
but it's overall pretty good, as... I'm now reading your freemium table.
oh and I submitted Polygonjs to your table, since it has a great freemium plan!
Thank you for the feedback! A lot of gems here. Appreciate you
Clean layout, but other then this line "Get the list of 600 products with a GREAT Freemium plan." I had trouble understanding what I'm getting (WIIFM)...
Maybe push this part "A list of the best tools for Makers with a GENEROUS Freemium plan." a bit further up - so I instantly see what I get... And push testimonials a bit lower?
Can you make 10-15 entries free to play with Airtable? Just for tasting?
Ok, let's do this... I'm running viral PDF rebrander since 2009, getting ready for v3.0 release:
https://rebranderpro.com
Your H1 says "The v3.0 is coming..." which might be good (a fresh approach, piques interest) and bad ("whys should I care about some v3.0?")
I like it that you promise that my PDFs will go viral (I guess everything viral should be good, right? Even after the pandemic, right?). However, I don't have the slightest idea how a "rebranded" can make my PDFs viral. It would useful to explain, with a screenshot or a video.
The benefits are good, but do you really have to put "Virus safe" as the main benefit? I mean, this is implied, no?
Thanks, you got me thinking... I'm so into this it's clear to me what everything means. But for someone new, not so...
Totally depends on your target audience, of course. If you're only interested in people who know exactly what Viral PDFs are, then it's perfectly fine. If you want to convert random visitors, then you'll need some explanations.
Thank you for your time and effort. Customers are mostly internet marketing product vendors and affiliates/JVs, but yeah, rebrandable ebooks have been all the rage in 1995-2010ish but got bad rep because folks started miss-using them...
Anyway, some legit brandable ebooks have been driving clicks for years...
I like the clean look, concise copy, and brevity of this.
I'm not sure if this is a problem, but I have no idea what a "viral PDF rebrander" is. If you have any customers that might need your tool but don't know what it's called they might struggle to know whether it's right for them. Perhaps even a single subheading with a one-line summary of the job your app does might go a ways to help?
I'm also curious why I can't use V2, but can only sign up to hear about V3 soon?
hey, let's go!
I liked a lot:
— copy is overall good
— Making PDFs go viral since 2009... made me laugh, great one!
Could be better:
— no product gifs or images. I don't understand what's the product and how it works
— The value proposition is somehow weak — what problem are you solving and why should I care? this is not clear right now
— a contrast to the green color would boost the overall design
Wish you luck! It seems like a promising project
Thanks, I've updated the landing page - there's an image now (!) :) Still struggling with value proposition though...
Would love feedback on the landing page of my WebGL design tool
https://polygonjs.com
Very cool product, just wow!!! But -- you're building a visual thing, so the landing page should be stunning visually as well.
You are linking to some use cases from the footer, but this should be visible right away. I mean, explaining features is cool for 3D nerds who just need to know what they can do with their product. But displaying a few amazing results like on your Use Cases pages would also be very useful IMHO. I need to know the results that I can achieve with your product, not just the features it has.
thanks a lot for your kind words and taking the time to share this. And that totally makes sense, I absolutely agree, those use cases will come to the front very soon. I also plan to the make that page more interactive.
Let's go!
I liked a lot:
— animations are great!
— design system is great
Could be better:
— footer is ugly as me in the 6 grade
— value proposition on the first screen could be better (more emotions and value for client)
— no social proof
great start. hope it helps!
Thanks a lot for this feedback, this is gold, thank you.
(And I hope you did look better than my footer - it is not very good indeed)
Hi @Gui - here is a link to some feedback on your landing page, hopefully some of it is helpful:
Polygonjs Feedback
fantastic, thanks a lot for taking the time @clayheins I really appreciate
Would love to get some feedback on https://p42.ai/
Can't find anything that I would improve. I'm installing it.
Thanks! Let me know if you have any feedback!
So be it!
I liked a lot:
— overall copy is sharp
— a lot of CTA buttons
— your assistant is great heading
Could be better:
— illustrations are a little bit off design system
— product gif is laggy
— more social proof would be nice
— newsletter is questionable secondary CTA
Hope it helps. To the moon!
Thanks for the feedback!
This is a great idea!
Here's my landing page: https://shroud.email/
Very curious to hear people's thoughts!
oh that is interesting.
I love that
I would love if:
This is very useful feedback, thanks Gui! I'll spend some more time on the rest of the page!
Let's go!
I liked a lot:
— design is sexy af
— copy is great
Could be better:
— first screen could be sharper (copu, problem statement, value proposition, product gif)
— I don't get how product works for 100% (maybe some How it works block)
— not sure newsletter is the best secondary CTA (maybe your Twitter?)
Great start. Hope it helps!
I just took a look at the landing page, looks like a great product! Here is a link to some feedback:
Shroud Email Feedback
This is super helpful, thanks Clay! Love the platform, I like that it encourages breaking feedback into sections with screenshots!
Super design, quick to load, readable, I know what I'm getting.
Security question: can anyone running this read my emails? Hopefuly no - how is my email protected?
Great question :) We don't keep any logs when we forward emails, though our mail provider may store emails for up to 5 days to ensure deliverability. I'm still looking for alternatives here, but it's hard to find providers that don't do this -- especially if you also want them to use renewable energy, like I do!
Hmm... I'd address this question/threat explicitly... Might be your hook... :)
The landing page looks great on full screen (2560x resolution), but the screenshot is only partially visible for me. Depending on where you traffic comes from, it might be good to also optimize for mobile resolution etc.
