Looking for feedback: The Daily App

Hey folks,

I would like to introduce The Daily App, a task calendar that I have been using for a year or so. I had initially built this as a side-project and now I am opening the product up to public beta.

I would love some feedback on the landing page and the sales pitch: http://thedailyapp.co

The product is currently open for public beta. I expect to keep the page the same for final release; I will just replace the beta sign up box with the pricing details and registration form.

Once again here's the link: http://thedailyapp.co

Thanks for taking a look!

Hey! some feedback:
- text is very clarifying but it's a lot to read before seeing how it looks. An image is worth a thousand words :D So My suggestion would be to bring the main image a bit above fold and maybe have this value proposition side by side
- changing colors of the headings and give more spacing between sections (maybe even alternate background color) to make it easy to understand you are describing other feature for example
- reduce a bit on the text length. Maybe adding collapsible sections or moving the full explanation to a "product" page?
Hope it helps! Good luck

@luthfur One big feedback that I would give you is that all the text you've used is too long to read. It's difficult to focus on such huge chunks of paragraph. You should try using a lot more visual gap. I think it will improve your visitor analytics too.

Apart from that, the color and design look nice!

  Thanks for the feedback! Will look into tightening up the copy and adding more visuals.

Does it allow you to timebox?

  No it doesn't allow timeboxing. What I have at the moment is a conceptual division of the day into Morning, Afternoon and Evening. It keeps things loose and flexible.
  
  One possible approach I am considering is allowing for custom partitioning of the day, which perhaps would make it somewhat similar to timeboxing.
  
  Do you use strict timeboxing in your day? Would love to learn how that works for you in terms of planning and productivity.

Hi, I just checked your landing because this is a product that I am actively looking for. The design is gorgeous. The price does not scare me. But I didn't create a 14-day trial account. Here is the motive:
- There are too many options in this category. I haven't found one that I like despite having tried dozens.
- Before I try, I guess it is more probable that your app is not what I am looking for due to the pattern I am experiencing.
- Giving my credit card becomes a hassle because I guess I will most probably cancel.
- Given all the above and understanding why you chose the credit card requirement, here is my suggestion: create a public profile where one can test your app.

  Thanks for the feedback! I completely agree with you. I am working to remove the CC requirement upfront. I will look into setting up a public demo version too. That's a great suggestion. I used to do exactly that back in the day when I built self-hosted PHP apps.
  
  Btw, I would love to learn more about what exactly you are looking for in an app that you are not finding. I am shaping the product from lots of feedback; currently working on a great time blocking feature with google integration. Feel free to DM or email me. (contact@thedailyapp.co)

Hey, I found two things that need improvment.
First one is to put gifs maybe instead of images to see how it works and the second one that there is a lot of text and in mobile it is very small.

Wish you the best!

Good idea. I don't plan beyond a general todo list, so I like the flexible approach of your application.

As for the landing page, I would recommend less tell and more show. I think there are too many long blocks of text which obscure the main points of simplicity and flexibility. Perhaps using gifs to show the basic features of the app would work better.
