    PS Tunnel – pstunnel.com

    Connect Photoshop to Shopify for seamless image edits.

    1. 3

      Such a cool idea!

    2. 2

      this is beyond great, wish I knew this before holy shit! Just tested it for the first time.
      thank you!!

      1. 1

        Wow, thanks a lot! Didn't expect that anyone here has a use for it since it's quite niche with it beeing just for Shopify atm.

    careermove.io - Learn how people are making successful career moves

    1. 1

      Pretty good pitch, although it doesn't capture that it's more than just success stories (it's also a networking and q&a tool, right?). And a slight rewording might make it feel more personally applicable anyway. Something like "Learn how to make a successful career move from those who've done it"

      1. 1

        Thank you so much for the additional words.

        Is Q&A and networking not also learning? I'm just trying to make it shorter and catchy.

        Do you feel "Learn how to make a successful successful career move from those who've done it" is enough for Q&A, stories, and networking ?

        1. 1

          My pleasure!

          No, I don't think "Learn," on its own, suggests the Q&A/networking components. And I agree--sometimes keeping it simple and brief is more important than trying to cover every offering. Just wanted to give you something to consider.

          And no, my example doesn't really do anything to incorporate Q&A/networking. Spitballing: "Discover and connect with founders who have made successful career transitions."

        Thank you!

        That is true! We also provide those additional services, but figured as an elevator pitch it gets the point across.

        We actually have a stripe atlas alternative page we point users to whenever they have questions about any differences :)

      Hi Gabe,
      Saw you on Startupschool too :-)

    1. 2

      For websites or mobile apps? I'm on the fence if "conversion testing" is industry jargon or common knowledge. I'm almost wondering if A/B testing if better known?
      What about: Analysis of website visitors and what content best converts visitors to customers.

      1. 1

        Focus now for websites, but also working for apps (no library available for native once yet)
        You are right, A/B testing is maybe the better term for that thanks!

        Thank you!

    SongRender — Easily creates music visualizer videos for social media.

    1. 1

      Visualization vs. visualizer, not sure which word is better but just a thought.

    2. 1

      Wow! This is a great niche indeed. Congrats on the great execution.

    3. 1

      This is so cool!! I'm 100% planning to use this for my next song. Totally unrelated to my IH business, but I'm very glad I found it

    We help couples stay together by improving their communication

    1. 2

      I'm definitely in the target market for this. What is the product and how does it improve communication?

      1. 1

        Sorry for not responding right away! I'm not sure on the solution / how it would work. I've just noticed that humans kinda suck at communicating in a healthy, stable way. There's a lot of emotion involved and it makes it hard to think lucidly. Have you noticed that problem?

    Neumorphism UI Kit : A free UI kit to help you create prototypes fast
    (https://provolonestudio.com/neumorphism-ui-kit/)

    1. 2

      Android UI, Apple, HTML/CSS, or Photoshop, or something else?

      Your site looks like it's focused on mobile but I think clarifying in the elevator pitch might add keywords to your pitch and focus on target users.

  23. 2

    Client Garden (https://clientgarden.co)

    Create a dashboard for your clients and manage communications from one place.

    1. 2

      Are you creating a dashboard for your clients to access or are you creating a dashboard for yourself that contains all client data in one place? What data might a person include in the dashboard, where does it come from. I think right now it's good for creating interest and generating click through but in an "elevator" without a supporting website it raises more questions than it answers.

      Hope that helps,

      1. 1

        Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it.

        You are right about the website and already made some changes feel free to let me know what you think.

        We are building a platform where a business can invite their clients and have a different dashboard for each client.

        We are building a dashboard our clients can access, so for example if you are an agency you can have a different dashboard for each of your clients where you can send updates, share files, and communicate with your clients through the platform or email.

    Saasify is the most effective way to get your SaaS idea off the ground.

    1. 2

      Just from reading your pitch, I had no idea what Saasify is about.
      On your website, you're writing "Start Monetizing Your API Today" - this gives me a way better idea what saasify can do for me!

      1. 2

        Thanks for the feedback, Martin 🙏

        One of our core problems is that we make it easy to launch any type of SaaS business but it's so generic that focusing our main messaging around monetizing APIs as the core value proposition of a SaaS is easier for people to understand.

        Will definitely keep this in mind in the future -- thanks again!

    www.centori.io is a web platform that aims to make SEO simple and accessible so that teams of any size can improve their rank on Google.

    It does this by scanning your website for topics and keywords to build a strategy, identifying areas to optimize your existing content, guiding you to create new content optimized for search, and reporting on which keywords are actually driving traffic to your site.

    1. 1

      Yeah. shorten as the other reviewer said.

    2. 1

      It is clear and I understand what you do. You might think about shortening it. Maybe something like:
      Centro.io makes SEO accessible to any site owner. The web app scans your current site and provides key word and content guidance to optimize search. It also provides reports on what keywords are actually driving traffic.

      1. 1

        Thanks! That's very helpful

    Typehut — A super-simple publishing platform for blogs, newsletters, or any other kind of website you can imagine.

    1. 2

      How can I use Typehut to publish a newsletter? Does it send emails for me like mailchimp?

      1. 1

        Yep!

        People can subscribe to your site and receive any new updates you publish via email. Typehut handles all of that logic and you don't have to worry about anything. You also get access to your list of subscribers, which is nice.

        If you have any other questions let me know!

      You don't just offer a website builder, but also hosting, right? In this case, I'd think about writing "Easily create..." instead of "Easily build...". :)

    We offer businesses a benefit program that immediately impacts employee satisfaction and performance, thereby improving overall productivity and team morale. We believe a workplace that offers great team benefits, is a place that benefits from great team work.

    1. 2

      Perhaps a little about your secret sauce to motivate me to click? Or perhaps just an element of curiosity like "within days" vs "immediately".

      How about this: We offer businesses a benefit program that works within days to improve team morale, employee performance and overall productivity.

      1. 1

        Thanks for that suggestion @manishgroverDA Funny thing is, that just after I made this post, I got a comment on the landing page group about me possibly adding what locations I offer the service. Then as I was updating the site, I actually updated the copy on the side while reading it and added 'immediately'. We must be on the same brain frequency :)
