Roast my landing page

Hello fellow indie hackers,

We are building goarno.io

We would love to hear your honest and brutal feedback. Especially on points like:

  1. Do you understand what this product is? If you can summarize it in your own words, that would be great!
  2. Who do you think this product is for?
  3. What do you think the strength and weakness of our product, just from a quick glance

Thank you very much in advance! I would love to return a favor, so if you want me to give feedback on your landing page. Feel free to reply with your link!

    While it lacks some ubiquitous blocks like testimonials and stuff, I was pretty convinced to use it. Registered.

    But as @GrantOgany wrote, an extension would be nice. However, we already have a WordTune extension for quick fixes.

      I appreciate it! Yeah we are still going back and forth regrading whether to create an extension or not. Stay tuned!

    1. This is an editor geared towards people who are trying to communicate in one language that they are not too fluent in. As you write, you also learn more about the language and it corrects common mistakes one could make.
    2. People trying to communicate in a secondary language
    3. It's a clean interface and educational.

    What I would like to see are more testimonials, use cases, and why I would use this product over just straight ChatGPT. Another commenter makes a good case that if you need anything you could just use ChatGPT. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of your AI, but it still gives the same exact answers/feedback.

      Thanks for the feedback :)

    Maybe it's just me, but I am Open AI fatigue. If I need anything AI, I just go to ChatGPT.

      Nah that's very fair. I definitely feel you especially when those tools (including mine) are buggy

    Hi, the product is well done. Its look and feel are very similar to Indiehackers.com. When I clicked the link, I even thought I was still on Indiehackers. But that doesn't need to be a problem.

    I am not sure the product brings enough value on top of chatGPT. Although it will require some prompt experimenting, I can totally do that in chatGPT myself.

    So not for me I'm afraid.

      Hahaha you are right, our color scheme is so close to indiehackers.
      I'm glad you're happy with ChatGPT!

    I like minimalist sites, being dark themed that video's white background can be also changed to a dark colour as well.

      Great point about the inconsistency between the background color of the product and the landing page!

    Very simple and very clear! Nothing superfluous - I'm pleased to use websites like this.

      Thank you :)

    The product looks very interesting! Some feedback just from the design stand point:

    The video in front and center is great, explains everything and showcases the product. Don't need to look through the cite and can understand what Arno is just from the video. But....

    1. I would integrate the video better into the page. The website is in dark mode, while the video is in light mode, which for me creates a dissonance.
    2. I would add a bit more about the product, beyond the video. I would expect to scroll through and learn about detailed features, in case if I do not want to watch the video. Maybe add screenshots and titles for specific features and go in depth about why they exist?
    1. 1

      Yeah that's a great point. We heavily rely on the video atm, which might not be the best. Thank you for the feedback!

    Hey, congrats on the app! Here are my thoughts:

    1. A tool that suggests better ways of writing things in English.
    2. People who want to become better at English
    3. I'll give general feedback:
    • Not sure if I'd want to open a tab for this kind of thing. I'd prefer a Chrome extension or Mac App that works everywhere.
    • Landing page says "The AI-powered writing editor that helps you become fluent" - I'm not an English native speaker, when I read "become fluent", it makes me think about becoming a better speaker as well, which I don't think is something the tool would help me with.
    • Design looks sleek, very straightforward.
    • Since you support guest mode on the actual app, might have an opportunity to embed it to your landing page, so users can play with it as a demo.
    • I couldn't tell why I'd want to use this over Grammarly.

      Thank you for the feedback! 🙌 Glad you get what we're doing.
      We will keep improving the lading page and the product 💪
