Looking for feedback on MVP for Simple Cron

by Travis Fischer

Getting ready to launch https://simplecron.dev and looking for feedback.

It's a reasonably polished, open source, Micro SaaS product to schedule recurring HTTP cron jobs in the cloud.

I built this MVP end-to-end in under a week with all of the difficult parts being handled by Saasify, Google Cloud, and ZEIT now.

Our main goal with Saasify is to help other makers launch focused Micro SaaS products like this as quickly and easily as possible, so happy to answer any questions about how things work.

Also just looking for general feedback on the product & website itself.

Thanks!

    Value prop is not very clear to me. I understand what the product does but am not sure why should I use it? As a developer, writing a cron job is 5 mins of work. Why should I pay for it? The answers to this will come from your customers or your market research. One potential pro I can think of is that if my server goes down, then my cron won't run. But then I have bigger problems if my server went down. So again, please explain the value prop.

    I like your landing page from a visual perspective, as I'm a non-technical person I'll stick with providing feedback on the website itself rather than the product :)

    1. I like the layout and colours you've used but I think some areas need to be highlighted better somehow - one example would be the name in the top left is quite hidden and wouldn't pass the squint test for me and another example is the headline and description which almost blend in with the clock in the background
    2. On the initial landing page, it's great to have a CTA however having 2 of the same can be confusing and unnecessary so I think you could remove the "get started.." button under the description and keep the button in the navigation bar (good that it's fixed there by the way)
    3. I really like the features section as it's easy to read with simple icons and sentences - and the bold highlighting works well as you have a wide range of features
    4. Unfortunately the support section (in the navigation bar) didn't direct me anywhere so that'll need to be reviewed
    5. At some stage I think it'd be great to have some testimonials as it'd encourage conversion of your viewers - using a similar structure to your features section could work well

    I hope you find this helpful!

    Also I'm planning to build a landing page tool so it'd be great to know which tool you used for your site and what was important to you in this process. Please let me know if you're willing to share, thanks :)

    Nice look & feel of your product 👍. I would elaborate more on the use cases of your product as this is not fully clear to me.
