Nice post, and interesting idea. Here's some feedback on your landing page: https://tella.video/feedback-for-olwi-1-cwxn
Hello,
Hope you are fine recently I have created a blog website which is only dedicated to dogs and cats love, care, food, now I am thinking to do affiliate on my website ( Dogs and cats products, food) etc can u please give me some suggestions. Your suggestions will be helpful for me. Please take a look to my website https://dogsandcatslove.com/how-to-cut-an-uncooperative-dogs-nails/
Thanks
regards
Andrew Sam
Thanks a lot for the feedback, Grant! There are valid points. Could you please send me the error on the Network and Console tabs for the time you've tried to search?
See here: https://tella.video/console-errors-auab
Thanks!
i signed up and gave the product a spin. i have 2 suggestions for features:
in the app's current form, you are competing with reddit's internal search (which is terrible), google (which is ok), and the reddit api (which requires dev knowledge).
add those features and you will 10x those options imo
Thanks for the feedback. Could you please elaborate more on the 2nd suggestion("analytics / reporting on the searches over time")?
happily. your product reports occurrences of search terms within reddit; those occurrences have patterns to them such as which subreddit they are posted in or when they were posted. you should find and report those patterns.
for a more concrete example, you can have a bar chart reporting the count of matching posts/comments over the last six months in the top 5 subreddits with matches.
Got it. Thanks for clarifying. I have something similar but in the advanced search section. It suggests the other keywords that were used the most. Also, it collects the top subreddits that have such a search phrase, so one can narrow the search. There's also a spam indicator to understand whether such search query is used mostly by promoters and spammers.
Never really managed to get the best out of Reddit yet. We acquire most of our Volunteers through LInkedin and Facebook. www.skilledup.life - free talent for tech startups
I dabbled with Reddit sometime back. Not much luck. Well done helping to make it more accessible.
I'm been looking for a tool like this. I'll give it a try later today :)
Ping me if you need any help!
My competitor :) I am doing a similar project, only with tracking of mentions on Reddit, Twitter and maybe I plan to add a facebook. https://mentionlist.com/
Well...Sort of competitor, I don't position it as a social listening & alerting tool. However, such functionality exists!
Anyway, I'm glad to see new faces in the niche! There are many social listening tools that should die from their age and bad UX.
This is pretty cool. I find the reddit community to be super engaged -- they likely tend to be high quality customers across segments. Smart approach!
Thanks! Ping me anytime you want to find something on Reddit! Your agency idea can yield some customers from there haha.
Hey, great work I find this really useful for finding where my customers are. Two things:
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, I also thought about clarifying the communities block(every community includes some amount of subreddits).
Ping me anytime so I can help you find the relevant subreddits or keywords you can use!
I'm not an active user of Reddit but I really like the way you've executed this project. Well done :) @v8ever
Thanks!
Sounds interesting. But I just tried the form out on your page and cannot find anything useful. Don’t know whether I am using this as you intended it 🙃
I am looking to find some users on Reddit for exploo.com
Thanks for trying it out. I saw you searched for "company video hub", however, no one on Reddit did use such a phrase ever :)
You might adjust the keywords, but it takes some effort to understand what your potential users could search for. What questions do you think your target users may ask? For example, startup tools, or team collaboration tools. I've found some posts with such keywords.
Thanks for coming back to me. You are right. I probably need to make a proper keyword research and try lots of things out. Will do so and I will keep your page open for this.
I've narrowed some of them down for you here. My strategy was to find similar products to yours(competitors) and search for them to understand how people search for such tools. It gave me many keywords to try out and find some posts.
When someone mentions your keywords, you may PM them to ask for feedback, maybe they'll become your customers. Reddit response rates are high if the messages are relevant!
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Reddit ad is pretty cheap. Have you tried that marketing channel?
No, I haven't. While it's a good option, I want to grow organically employing my own tool(Reddit). However, I may consider this option to get quick feedback in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sounds cool. I just signed up anyway.
Talking about feedback, would you be interested in exchanging testimonials?
I mean, I run https://zoto.app and you can use it to request video or text testimonials from your customers, and embed it on your website.
If you sign up, I can do a testimonial for Olwi. If you don't mind, you can also do a testimonial for Zoto. It is free
What do you think?
Can you do a testimonial for https://twayobiz.com too or take a look? I seem to have a drop off point in the onboarding as users drop off after a certain point and I haven't been able to pick it up with Hotjar.
Yes, I'd like to. Could you please help me to find how to provide my testimonial for Zoto? I've tried zoto.zoto.app(like the link for my product), but got 404. I guess there's another link for it.

Amazing to see you got 1000+ paying customers. I would have thought that would have easily taken over $3k MRR, given your starting price is $19. Or do you consider $0 subscribers as customers as well? Just curious of the use of terminology.
Like your product, DMd you on Twitter.
There is a slight problem with, adblocker extension, on your site - The website looks very bleak due to the backdrop for the cookies notice. However the adblocker extension doesn't let me see the notice, there is only persistent backdrop, and no way to get rid of it (without turning off adblock).
Yeah, for awareness - viewing the site in the Brave browser returns nothing but a blank page.

Nice looking product. Here's some feedback on the landing page: https://tella.video/feedback-for-testkit-01rl
Amazing, thanks a lot!
You mentioned "no code is needed" 5 times, but I still have no clue what you offer. Neat design, but not having demo or simple offer makes it vague. Guide people from A (past) to B(after your product).
p.s. after you include screenshots, demo and change "sign up to use it one day" to "try it now" you'll increase weekly sign-ups from 3 to 10.
That's excellent feedback.
I will implement that for the revamped website!
Thanks a lot!
I googled what's end-to-end testing. As I've realized, you help to check how products works after more code was written. Good idea than!)
Dropped you a message on Twitter.

You put together mainstream influencers with 50k followers. Who needs your product to find them?
Instead, do it for people with 200-10k followers, who are more niche but still deliver great content. Make them be proud to be featured on your website. You have higher chance of people dropping the link to your project if they aren't spoiled with popularity yet.
I'd say it's impossible to scale it if you proceed doing it for many areas. I'd focus on 1 field and make it the best platform for finding cool content from entrepreneurs in this area. I can share other ideas if you DM me on Twitter.
Thanks Denis for your valuable feedback. I think not everyone knows them even if they have 50k followers. Newbies in the world of business, and especially newbies on Twitter, don't know them. I agree that focusing on people with 200-10k followers give more likely a link or share. I'm building database continually, right now there's only 230+ people, so I will add them in the near future for sure.
I'm going to send you a DM on Twitter, we can discuss it. I'm very grateful for your feedback and ideas.
Hi Jacob, I like the idea and I signed up :) I don't know if you are thinking about extending the idea, but I would like to have something like this for influencers too..
Hi Ida, thanks for sign up and your idea. Currently, I'm focusing on entrepreneurs and learning materials for business but I appreciate your idea about influencers, maybe it could be next step of the project.
Cool, good luck with all 🎈
Thanks!
It's not clear to me what a user gets from your product. Is it a newsletter?
If you are building a tech startup, most of the folks you have listed are already known.
I have been building tech companies since 2004. Many do not know me. Just like @Denis_Shatalin said, people like me might be more interested. In my case I am not. But others might be. How can you give the next tier down more attention? And then drill down to - who would be interested in these individuals?
Or pick those who have built companies to £10m revenues? Had 5 exits. etc
etc
Offer segmentation. All the best.
Thanks for feedback, appreciate it!
No one reads 9 lines of text under your H1.
Your main page should instantly show the feed with amazing content. You want your product to be useful to someone who doesn't follow these people yet (otherwise they go to their twitter without your website). In your case, I have to click on every person to find out if he's worth my attention. I spend more time than it'd take me to write "Marketing" in twitter search, this shouldn't be like that.

thanks! Definitely lots of inspo from our friends and ourselves :). Congrats on all your milestones with Turtle! Lots to learn from you :)
By the way, for the web app to be effective, there has to be an integration with Google Calendar. I'm sure it's on your product roadmap.
Yes indeed! It's up next :)
I love products where the founder(s) are the first customer - just watched a bit of the video. Created an account.
I have never ever done what people call "deep work". Quite fascinated by the idea.
Great time of the year to try a product like this.
That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback and trying it out. I'm excited to hear what you think further.
If you're interested in the idea, check out Cal Newport's book called "Deep Work: Rules for Focus in a Distracted World." Love the book, was a fast read too!
I emailed you. See above comment on Google Calendar integration.

I would have signed up right away for https://recocards.com if free plan offered another channel than just email.

" Chat history is active as long as you are in conversation"
->
" Chat history is active as long as ANYONE is in conversation"
(i.e. any active member can relay the session chat history to new joinees)
could be an interesting addition.
Currently it's: as long as YOU are. Once you exit it goes away for you, but stays for the other person

I think the most interesting aspect of your product is not git or yaml or markdown, it's the rule engine that you're building around them. Email marketing is quite involved, and such a tool like yours would be nice to manage it (hopefully it won't be too convoluted in the code).
One question - how do you plan to add 'trigger' based conditions?
Hey, thanks for your reply, swebdev!
I totally agree with you about the involvement. It's pretty hard to cook good marketing spaghetti with UI-based tools. :)
About triggers - I've thought about it - I see integrating it with Segment or a similar CDP. Then add necessary primitives - filters, triggers, flow entry policies, or similar. I am trying to keep this out of the MVP if possible, but I'm willing to compromise once I get a hard commit on this.
Currently, the only way I plan to add contacts to flows is via API call - you'll have to sort out the trigger logic on the application side.

I'm confused - What are you trying to build exactly? Is this a website builder like bubble.io?
You can target a niche, like marriage planner templates etc. You target customer base MUST BE really non-technical, if you're taking away this much template editing flexibility. That's not a bad thing though.
It's more like squarespace/wix/carrd etc... but for non technical people

I'd also like to use this post to thank you all for your support - we've had a great 24 hours since first posting on here. We're all super excited to see what comes next.... 🚀
Hi @Denis_Shatalin, thanks for responding!
We were super keen to announce our project - mostly because we felt it was important to work on deliveries, and to expose our idea to feedback, suggestions, and challenges - so your comments are really useful, thanks!
I don't know what segment of IH would be potential customers. I imagine some could be - I have certainly seen a few projects on IH that I am interested in exploring! - but in the end we're here for feedback, challenges, and to find interesting people and interesting ideas.
What we're wondering is, is our teaser page good enough that people would sign up to receive updates, or does it lack specifics? I've asked a few people and have heard from both sides.
A more detailed landing page with examples, key benefits, etc is our next priority.
Thanks for your feedback!
Just wonder - What'd be a perfect use-case for rulebox? I imagine it to be similar to firebase remote config, with an added UI or something? If so, for web applications, are the rules supposed to be dynamically fetched on every page load?
Hi @swebdev, thanks for your reply.
I have answered your question below. Do you mind if I ask you a question? We're collecting feedback on the landing page.
So here goes:
Do you think the landing page is intriguing enough to make you want to register for updates? Or is it too unclear to be of interest?
Thanks in advance!
Here's my response to your question.
Rulebox lets you decouple business logic/decisions. It's like firebase remote config but for stuff that's more complicated than just config settings.
Two examples of projects where I built flexible business decisions, or used a previously built one, are:
What these custom-built systems lacked was:
Rulebox lets you define business decisions - in a low-code way - and then write the unit tests against them, and publish them (or ask someone with suitable permissions to do that), and then audit the editing and execution of the rules. Rulebox is type-safe - you need to define your entities and then write rules against these entities - and allows you to follow due process.
So it is a bit like Firebase remote config in the sense that you outsource something to us, that you really don't want to spend time doing yourself - a rules engine is donkey-work at its simplest, and surprisingly complex if you want to do it right!
Where we differ from Firebase remote config is that we focus on the more complex business decisions, and typically (but by no means exclusively) you'd use us in back-end processes.

Why do early solopreneurs need to pay for your product if they know that they'll make more money by putting in more hard work? I'd say it may have demand for people beyond $20k MRR. The next thing is finding such people and asking whether they need such thing at all.
Thanks Denis for your feedback. Yes, the users of the existing product are usually more established (traditional) sme's, now with the Stripe extension we hope to get more companies from the saas space who also need a better overview of their future cash flow. Typically, that's as soon as the planning gets a bit more tricky (eg growing teams + expenses).
Will check why the switching of the language did not work and also look again into the copy.

Will be happy to help you grow it, let's connect on Twitter.
Thanks Denis!! I would love to connect with you!
This is truly amazing if it does what it says (I just Starred on github). I'd love to try out the self hosting option on a weekend;
Your pricing seems pretty good though.
Thanks man!!
So to give example, I just watched your video interaction on https://fusionhq.co
So your total time of session was 4min 32sec
From this I understand you took more interest in the self host option as your most time spend was on it on pricing page and you were driven by the features on the main page.
More things like A/B testing will also be introduced to particularly get more session time and retent user! Stay tuned, we are trying to disrupt the analytics and engagement industry!
Yes I've been looking for a self hosted analytics + screen recording option.

Minor thing but the menu icon doesn't become an X on my mobile when opened, it's all weird, I'm on Firefox Android.
Good luck!
Thanks! 🙏Yes proving stability is an open question. I think my first aim is to attract smaller players and build trust that way. But maybe I'll see if I can clarify how it works, perhaps also add status pages with historic uptime.

Hey! I really like this. Are the slack scripts managed through a web UI? Perhaps an image of it could help to clarify.
Are the scripts written in your UI? If so how about version control, syntax highlight, etc?
Thanks for checking it out!
The scripts are written right in the browser, the editor is based on vscode so you have intellisense and syntax highlighting, you can also test the scripts before publishing to Slack, every version of the script published is versioned and can be seen in the history, like in Git.
Thats a very good point you raise, i don't think i am advertising these features in the page very well, I might work on a short demo video.
Thanks a lot this wasn't obvious to me at all!
All great features you should flaunt. Good luck! :)

PS: I am also building in public on Twitter and my personal site. Follow along :)
Hi Nick, your site looks clean and simple. I love that. I also like the idea but the reason I wouldn't sign up is that I am trying to have less emails. I dont know if that helps.. All the best!
Thanks! I can easily see the email "complaint". I also like to have a minimal number of emails being delivered to me. Better life clarity :)
For that reason, these are some future plans to help with that:
And of course all of these settings would be configurable for each user. So they could set their optimal notification settings.
What are your thoughts?
I like desktop browser notification idea the most. Because that's the one I am not using at the moment so it would stand out as well. Sounds exciting. I dont like to have toooo many options, I prefer when it's minimal just like your website :)
Totally fair. And I agree! 👍

Quote indie-hackers as a friend when signing-up
Fun idea. I used to run a peer-to-peer accountability platform too. Sadly, I stopped after I overestimated people's commitment. Consider niching down to 1 area, so people feel more included. Mine died after 26 members didn't feel emotionally attached to one another.
Maybe run it for indie hackers only, or for saas solopreneurs only. They'll be more engaged to have another meeting than.
Hey Denis tnx so much for sharing, that is super interesting! I had a bit of a different experience because my pilot members repeatedly became friends! Two ladies even travelled for a live meet-up (one came from Berlin to Mareseille)! I think it's also partly because the programme is designed to connect you to the other person. Buut would you be free for a short chat? On another note, I love the name Razum, it kind of means common sense in my language :)

What goals are you trying to reach this month?:
This month I'm working on bringing more beta testers in after the Product Hunt launch and to start working on the frontend to allow developers to create and manage their accounts and API keys, as well as checking their usage/costs.
What goals are you trying to reach this quarter?:
Having the full production-ready v1.0 ready and out
How could the IH community help?:
Beta testers are welcomed, the API is free to use while in beta testing, and feedback is welcomed. So far 8 beta testers have signup.

How would this differ from Clubhouse? Are you going for the same userbase or targeting a particular segment?
Hey @ManojRanaweera, Clubhouse is social live audio. Shortcast is social recorded asynchronous audio. Shortcast helps users create evergreen content which enables conversation as well as can be shared anywhere easily.
Might be nice to also provide a text transcript. The thing about audio is that, you have to listen from the beginning to make sense of it.. for text one can jump back and forth in no time.
What's the most Wow element of your product compared to twitter? Why would users want to do (just) audio than text+audio+video? (not sure if twitter supports audio/video recording on phone though).
Hey @swebdev, thanks for the quick feedback. Highly appreciate.
We have text transcription already in place.
The WOW element of Shortcast is:
Core Premise:
There are 100 million people blogging today and another 100 million making TikToks. But less than 1 million making podcasts.
We want to simplify sharing audio stories for billions in the world with the aim to have 100 million people creating micro podcasts on Shortcast.
That makes sense, thank you so much! Do you also have a recommendation engine like that of tiktok? -- Tiktok model might actually suit better here than twitter model. This might also parallel radio/spotify in cars when traveling :)
We are building a recommendation engine for Shortcast.
I totally agree on this being a good companion while commuting.
Can you elaborate on the Tiktok model over Twitter for audio?
Cool! I meant having a recommendation model, than a social network model, more or less.
Hey, @code alright. If you can drop me your email I'll share an invite next week with you.
Sure, please forward it to - [email protected]

Nothing wrong with re-invention though. All the best.
Hey Manoj,

The vBridge Hub platform is for sourcing technology vendors with product and services capabilities. Enterprises use the platform to rapidly discover new products, solutions or service capabilities, engage faster with the vendors and evaluate seamlessly through a collaborative process to select their partner of choice in the shortest time.

Interesting App - so similar about 15 years ago and strangely yours is the first one I came across after all those started died.
I see an application where your app perhaps could be used to understand relationships, especially investors and shareholders.
Anyway nice to discover your web app. I signed up for a free account just to get a feel for it.
All the best hitting those MRR numbers. If we can help, don't forget to ask www.skilledup.life we have 2,895 volunteers from 71 countries.
Thanks for your feedback. OrgPad is a universal tool, so it can be applied in many diversed situations. This is best evidenced that we already have very diverse users: from elementary school teachers to artists, researchers and IT experts. It is fun to play around with organic diagrams and to see them grow. No matter how complex a problem is I can always manage it with OrgPad. This document nicely explains our vision: https://orgpad.com/s/vision.
If you would have any problem or question, feel free to reach us here or by sending a message within the app (going to [email protected]).
Hi Klavik
Love the vision diagram. Free is quite restrictive. Otherwise, I would have probably used it. Not looking to pay for a tool like yours sadly as it's not essential for me.
But wish you all the best.
The free version should be sufficient for about 10 hours of work without any restrictions. Afterwards, people should see whether it brings them some value, so we force them to pay (essentially). It is still possible to get some discount, for instance a larger one is available at our Product Hunt page: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/orgpad.
The project is bootstrapped from our savings and we need to concetrate on paying customers. In the end, I believe one should pay for product which bring value. It is not possible to develop amazing product without making money, and all the alternative revenue sources actually harm the product in long run.
Of course, fully agree with all of what you said. I've been bootstrapping since 2004. Many failures. Two Exits.
Recently started building www.skilledup.life for bootstrappers.

What made you build this? How would it compare with Dropbox and many other file storage solutions out there?
To be fair, Twayobiz offers more business-friendly features that our competitors don't offer like Sharing page color customization. Dropbox and Google Drive don't let you customize the sharing page to match your brand colors nor do they offer features such as Reports.

Remember the days of Podio. Lots of tiny Apps. Sounds like you are flying and good revenue target as well.
Is it a common customer database with multiple UIs delievered as Apps?
Thank you!
You're right, tracking customers and engaging with them have been some of the most use-cases we had so far. But it's about any internal operation you may have in the organization, not only with customers. For example, HR tracking, OKR tracking, even organizing educational materials. Basically, it's up to your team and how they want to use their data.
Yes of course.

Hi Moyo
Does www.plugin.io qualify? It's not fully launched. One of our Member companies www.techcelerate.ventures/members
How are you going to acquire users? It took me 176 days to acquire our first 100 volunteers. Now we add 100 in 3 to 6 days. All done by Volunteers for us.
Let me know if we could help. Take a look www.skilledup.life

Interesting proposition - like what you are doing. I couldn't see a service where your sales folks actually close the deal. Presume this is too hard to offer under fractional service.
They can and have closed deals.
