Need help to try my first MVP
Hello Startupers, Indiehackers, and SaaS creators š
Iām very proud to introduce my first MVP ever:
I got the idea browsing Twitter, after seeing an umpteenth time someone saying they bought a domain they will never use. This might be the biggest running joke on social networks. Let's see who got the most domains then! For now, battles are global (only for members who wish to play), Iāll add later the possibility to challenge friends.
Battledom is not only fun but also a domain portfolio manager and soon a marketplace.
Iāve so many domains, across different registrar accounts that sometimes I even forget which domains I own. Plus, many of us register domains for projects we never even start. Battledom helps to manage those. We can classify domains by registrars, and later by strategies or DNS zones, etc.
Storing your future acquisitions on the wish list will hold you from impulsive buying, help you keep an eye on their availability and why you bought them thanks to notes.
It'll also provide a marketplace to sell your unused domains & ideas. Donāt let them go to waste and sell them to people who need to find ideas for projects.
Now I really need help from the community, anyone who could take 5 minutes to make an account and try it out would mean the world to me.
There is a small widget for feedbacks.
Disclaimer: The MVP is for desktop only.
Amazing ideas ahah I have domains i really don't know why, i will try it asap
Thanks, Adrien, there is not much to do yet on the MVP, but I got the validation/feedbacks I wanted to continue building in the right direction.
Hi. The idea seems to be interesting, I believe it has potential (from the fun side), don't know about the domain manager(can't understand USP among the other similar products).
You combined 2 ideas. The 1st one is to manage domains - adding them to 2 lists, however, I don't know why, you can do the same in your note-taking app. I guess it's supposed to be a single place for domains, I just can't see my use case here.
The 2nd idea is to battle(?) somehow. It's not clear how though.
The landing page is good. There's small friction of signing up: email, password, which are fine, but social logins would make it one-click. Then, a user should verify its email, which is also fine(with social logins a user's email will be already verified in most cases though), then you ask to login again, however after verifying you might give a token already.
When I logged in, it was not clear what to do next. I added a domain, went to "My battles", then the journey finished. I didn't know what to do more there :(
To sum up: it's not clear what to do with your product. You also try to solve 2 problems(the fun one and the domain manager one), which maybe is too broad right now, however, maybe you're gonna turn it into one.
Regarding the 2 lists, the wishlist is meant to have more functions than I kept aside to quickly build this MVP. It is supposed to keep track availability of your domain, show you other popular TLDs and their availability and also show you some best prices registrar to buy it when it's time.
The manager list is to get info on a domain, expiration dates, DNS zone, why not put them on the market, etc. but mostly to classify them and have an exhaustive list of all domains you possess and in which registrars they are registered. Now it needs to be clear for users :)
Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback! It confirms what I started to feel about the onboarding and the journey, I think it's exactly what I needed to hear.
Indeed this MVP is very barebone (point of an MVP?) but it's so barebone that we don't understand the real value of the product. So I'll work a bit more on it before going strong on marketing or people won't see any value in it.
Thanks again!
Get more feedback anyway and then get more and more haha! Our own suggestions can be misleading even if we want to use our tools ourselves(when we want to solve 1 problem, but other people mainly see the tool that solves the other one).
You're welcome and keep going! Good job already.
