    Pageam.com - Landing page builder for mobile apps

    1. 1

      Nice UX and interface, what did you use for the FE? for the page editor? is it your own library or something opensource?

      1. 1

        I made the page builder on top of Gutenberg which is an open-source project based on Recat: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg

        1. 1

          Cool!, does that mean your BE is wordpress or something else ?

          1. 1

            Yes, I chose WP to quickly build my product but I'd change it later when I validated the MVP.

    @faouzi Subtitle on the home page is very long. Keep it short and explain each point below in a separate section.
    What: Bring clarity to your team
    How(Subtitle): Use your existing tools. Keep track of everything.

    Recast Studio - Video creation tool for marketers.

    1. 2
      • I love it! I don't make videos often, but when I do I'm always having a hard time with the complexity of editors. Premade templates are very valuable for that situation.
      • I make between 0-5 videos per year so signing up for a monthly plan would make no sense to me. I'd rather pay per exported video, but that's just me.
      • Why are you limited to 2 minutes even on the most expensive plan? Seems low.
      • The speaker of the video either is a robot or talks like one. Not great.
      1. 1

        Thanks for the feedback.

        • We will add A la Carte option in the future.
        • Two reasons. 1) We are targeting a very particular kind of video. In most cases, 30 seconds to 1 minute is sufficient.
        1. Video rendering is expensive stuff. The length of the video increases the rendering cost exponentially.
        • Haha, the speaker is a robot indeed. We are creating a new video.

      @0loc wow you have a really advanced tool, what took you to build it

      I would prefer wistia free plan for video intro, also check positioning

      1. 1

        Thanks @faouzi. We have been developing it for more than a year. The first version was a Chrome extension.
        Yeah, Working on wistia integration. We had to remove it because our current WP theme does not support it.

    Everbase: API for software developers that helps them become more productive and build faster apps

    1. 1

      Very interesting. A few observations.
      I did not understand the product by reading the tagline and subtitle. However, it took me less than 5 seconds to understand as soon as I saw the API Overview section.

      • Consider bringing the API section below the Hero section.
      • "A Swiss Army Knife for Developers" is too broad.
        What about:
        Tagline
      • Focus on core business logic. Let us handle the utility.
      • Do not write a utility function again.
        Subtitle
      • Use our GraphQL API to access utility functions that let you build faster apps in less time.

      https://drive.google.com/file/d/1isxVtF_X-hvY3MO-ZaJN_SULGyKX9qqg/view?usp=sharing

      Why the technology barrier? Why not REST APIs to make it universal.
      I may use such a service, but I do not know a thing about GraphQL. Why would I learn a new thing? It negates the core value proposition.

      1. 1

        Amazing feedback, thank you very much!

        Everbase wouldn't be possible without GraphQL because REST implements resources as URLs. GraphQL allows you to traverse a graph, queries can have unlimited depth. See the examples on the homepage, you can go from client to ipAddress to country to currencies to conversion. In REST, each would be a separate request because resources are implemented as URLs, in GraphQL you get everything in one request.

        REST APIs are usually highly specialized because a REST API doesn't get better the more it grows. Check out apilayer (apilayer dot com), they're a semi-competitor that uses REST. The currency conversion example would require learning and integrating two of their APIs. And there are already lots of things Everbase does that they can't. An example I've added to the docs recently is a query that geolocates the server of a website. Nobody would ever build an API for this, but with our graph it's possible.

        We are also able to provide many more data points without bloating our responses because GraphQL only returns what you explicitly request. The API right now is basically an MVP, it's going to grow a lot. The more data we provide the more questions you'll be able to answer using our API.

        There are other benefits like GraphQL being an actual standard, you only have to learn it once and you know how to use all GraphQL APIs.

        I know it's tough to market this to people who've never used GraphQL before, but I strongly believe in the technology and it's growing fast, lots of major companies have already adopted it, so this problem will solve itself over time. It usually takes repeated exposure before people take a serious look at something.

    https://versoly.com/ - will let you make up your minds :)

    1. 1

      Sounds interesting.
      Hero Title: I would use "Build a website for your SaaS in minutes. No coding."

      As @jgillic mentioned instead of "We want to make sure that editing your website is easy and fast" try "Edit your website easily and fast"

      I find this guide by @julian very helpful while creating landing pages.

      1. 1

        Thanks I have read it 2 times over the past year.

        I need to have another reread :)

    2. 1
      • Website looks nice.
      • You say "We want to" a lot. Do you do these things or do you not? Even if you're still working on some stuff, I'd just state it as a feature and add a "coming soon".
      • I'm not sold on the idea. As a SaaS owner, full customizability over my website is a requirement. If I needed it to be easier to edit by non-developers, I'd rather use a headless CMS.
      • That being said, the feature set is appealing and would definitely save a lot of time.
      1. 1

        Thanks for the feedback. Will change the wording.

        I have looked at 1000+ SaaS landing pages. I haven't seen one Versoly can't build. We have an in-built editor that allows custom HTML/CSS/JS like coding in a text editor.

        Headless CMS are great but they're still fixed setups.

        We have 4+ big features coming that will hopefully make Versoly a no brainer.

        1. 1

          I assumed it could also be used for your main website and not just the landing page. But don't listen to me too much, I'm the kind of person that builds a Next.js SPA for everything and is unlikely to ever use a website builder, so I'm just not in your target audience. To me, this would be more interesting if it was code that I could download and use as a template for my own site.

          1. 1

            Fair enough, you can export for the templates on the pro plan for $15 a month.

            Next.js is overkill for most marketing site and causes friction between the dev and marketing team.

            We plan on removing that and adding an extra option for export at $60 and 3 months of access to the platform to add and edit pages.
