Looking for feedback on my SaaS boilerplate landing page
Hey everyone 👋🏼
I'd love to have some feedback on https://geniepy.com. It's a SaaS boilerplate written using a framework called Reflex that makes it easy for Python programmers to build and launch good-looking user-facing web applications.
I've been working on this product (on and off) for a while now and would love to know if the landing page is doing the job it's supposed to do. Thank you!

I am going to roast your site ... LOL :)
ok ... main message ...Launch your next SaaS quickly using Python
... and if people don't know how to program in Python ? what then ?
They will not understand the picture below main message ...
"GeniePy is a modern SaaS boilerplate in pure Python that saves you months of development time." ... in here you try to say something ...
GeniePy is a modern ... a modern SaaS boilerplate? How can you say that ? Nobody ever seen it ... what is a boilerplate ... this is vague text
better to write ... "geniepy is a python based SaaS"
that saves you months of development time ? where is the prove of that ? People never seen how fast is to write stuff with it ... better to delete this text
Next text shoul be completed removed ... you will be talking of this in the features section.
"User authentication, payments, SEO-optimized blog, sending emails, database integration: everything works out of the box on day one. Simply download the codebase and start building! "
Features section ...
Remove this text ... (read above criticism)
"Save months on development time with all these features available on day one. "
Now i will go feature by feature ...
How it works what ? The download ?
"Hint: very easily" ... really ? after all those features to learn ?
You are killing the potential client aren't you ?
One thing is for sure. You like to program in the python language. :)
I wish the best of luck to your project

Hey, thanks for chiming in.
Then I really don't want them to buy. If they are more comfortable with a different language then they should use a different boilerplate in that language.
Generally speaking, I get the feeling that you think that the product is a SaaS in itself, but instead the product is a boilerplate codebase that lets you build a SaaS quickly.
And I'm wondering where is that coming from.
On the front page it says "GeniePy is a modern SaaS boilerplate in pure Python that saves you months of development time.".
Should this sentence be reframed somehow to make it more understandable so that the reader has a proper framing when going through the website?
GeniePy is a modern set of python modules/libraries that saves you months of development time ?

Hmm, but it's not a set of libraries. It's a codebase (source code you track inside a git repository) that software developers can download and start developing their product.
But it's not a SaaS.
I think I disagree here. Having built software for more than a decade now, building features like user authentication, emails, payments, etc. in a stable manner can easily take at least 1-2 months if not more. I mean "user authentication" alone has entire companies built around it. So. :)
I feel there's a common thread in all these comments. The product is aimed at software developers who want to code a SaaS product. Software Developers are expected to know such features. So I don't want them to go learn something; I know that the target audience already knows those features.
Again, I feel there's some miscommunication here because the product is not a SaaS. The product is a codebase.
No. Password is when you create a user account on a website. Credentials refers to things like API keys (eg. Stripe API key) which is more relevant when you're developing applications.
If you deploy your software to your neighbors, then maybe. :) But in this case it would be servers or cloud vendors.

In any case, my main takeaway from your comment is that some of the wording (especially the term "boilerplate codebase") might not be 100% clear, so I'll see if there's an improved framing there. Thank you for your feedback!
