Request for prelaunch page feedback, suggestions or tips
Hi all,
This is my first time working on a side project of my own and attempting to build a platform and product.
Today I reached the milestone of getting my prelaunch site live.
I'm hoping to get some traffic to the site and a few emails added to my mailing list to see if there's any market interest to validate the idea.
If anyone has any constructive criticism, suggestions or even tips that you could pass on from your own success stories, that would be greatly appreciated. A retweet would be welcome too :)

Thanks all!
I'm sure @alchemist could give some great feedback on this - he knows your audience pretty well :)
I'd certainly welcome any feedback he could provide. This is new territory for me.
It looks like you're aiming to make something more similar to ElixirCasts than what I'm doing (which is great IMO :D). My main advice is to really think hard about what you can offer that they don't. You don't need to be better across the board. You do need to be the best option for somebody, though.
Also, where will you find your first users? Elixir is a pretty small niche.
Yeah, you're completely right. This community is somewhat small and early, relative to other programming communities. My primary goal is to try to grow that niche and gain some experience along the way.
I appreciate the feedback! Hopefully, we can all serve to support each other and grow the community together.
Hey Michael, are you on LinkedIn? I'm based out of Waterloo and am also starting a company, always looking to connect with local founders in the area.
Patrick
Yeah absolutely. You should be able to find me on LinkedIn by the same name. :)
There are a few of you on LinkedIn. Could you add me? Patrick Dufresne, you can find me as founder of ecential.
Thanks!
sent!
