Roast my landing page, please!

I've just put up the landing page for https://formrabbit.io/ and I would really appreciate it if you took a minute to provide some feedback on it. Please don't hold back :)

The idea behind the product is this (quoting from the landing page):

Every form backend out there seems to assume that clients and developers are looking for the same thing. They are not. Clients just want a place to view and manage their submissions, and developers just want to set it up and step back.

But instead, clients are stuck searching for form submissions in their emails, and developers are stuck juggling multiple accounts for the same service. FormRabbit is a humble attempt to fix this madness.

If you want to follow along, the IH page for FormRabbit is at https://www.indiehackers.com/product/formrabbit.

    Hey Pradeep!

    I recorded a brief 5 minute loom video roasting your landing page (respectfully).

    Overall, I like the design, it's good enough to look professional, but I would focus on adding in some more screenshots of your product itself, and also try to write your text on your website to speak to your Unique Selling Position.

    Hope you get some value out of this, all the best!

  2. 1

    Questions I had in mind as a dev: "What validation is applied - can I configure it? How is my submission stored - a JSON blob? Could you show me a curl example for a form submission, and a curl example for fetching the data?"

    You're using the term "client" but it can mean two very different things:

    1. A customer
    2. A browser / client-side

    (As a dev I initially assumed meaning #2, until I read further. I suggest using the word "customer"?)

    General question: what should I be mentally comparing the product to? e.g. https://notionforms.io/?

    I think it would be useful to show one example of a complete flow:

    1. Image of form fields in a page
    2. Image of HTTP submission
    3. Image of HTTP response back to the browser (what does this look like? how do I integrate?)
    4. Image of email sent to the customer (what does this look like?)
    5. Image of "automatic response" sent to the customer's user (what does this look like?)

    The quote: "Every form backend ... fix this madness" initially struck me as a product review, until I read to the very end. I think it was the big "quote" character that made me assume that

    What is the pricing model? $/mo, $/submission, $/client, ..?

    ( p.s. if you woud like to roast my landing page too! )
