My app's output is getting good engagement on X, but I only have 2 waitlist signup. Please roast my landing page.

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋 I’m Kartik. And I'm first time posting here :)

For the past few weeks, I’ve been building Linkedin2Comic, a SaaS that turns boring LinkedIn text posts into highly engaging comic strips and visual carousels. I do that by taking Linkedin profile pdf as input, find interesting story angles from it and turn it into a story.

I have a practically non-existent audience on X (@IndieKartik - literally 30 followers lol). So, to test the waters, I started reaching out to people who post interesting stories about their product/success and sharing what it looks like when converted into Comic strip.

The Good News:
People are actually liking the outputs! Despite having a tiny account, the visual "Aha!" moment is getting good traction, likes, and impressions on X. Some posts where people liked what I created: [1] [2]. And some other posts with good engagement [3] [4]

The Bad News:
It is absolutely not converting. Even though people are engaging with the comics on X, I have exactly 2 waitlist signups.

The core engine of the app is already built. Right now, I'm just integrating the credit system and finalizing the pricing model before I go live. But before I push this out into the wild, I clearly need to fix my conversion problem. I am targeting at least 100 waitlist signups.

I need your brutal help to diagnose my landing page:
Here is the site: https://comicbanana.com/linkedin2comic

If you have 2 minutes, please tear my page apart:

  1. The Copy: Is the value proposition confusing? Am I failing to explain why someone needs this?

  2. The Design: Does the page feel trustworthy enough to hand over an email address?

  3. The Disconnect: Why do you think people like the comic outputs on X, but aren't joining the waitlist?


Cheers,
Kartik

    I'd be careful treating the X situation as the main lesson.

    The more interesting question may be whether the same pattern has been showing up across the different versions of the project.

    That's one of those situations where a founder can end up collecting a lot of accurate signals while still making the wrong decision about what they mean.

    I wouldn't try to unpack that properly in a thread.
