Hi there!
I'm trying to stop searching for a perfect product and rather publish early and iterate.
Since yesterday, the 1st version of yoop.blog is online!
It's a true MVP : at the moment it only make it's most important value proposition: publishing the easiest way by sending an email. Even my mother can do it :)
Let's they it's like an Alpha version.
I'm curious to know if there are any people interested in testing (5 max to start with).
Do you think I should put a field on the home page to allow people to subscribe to news/try the product?
Thanks!
Are you doing something like Hey World: https://www.hey.com/world/
It's quite similar indeed. Except you don't need to have a proprietary email account.
I'm publishing with my own tools for years and recently I stopped using some geeky terminal commands to publish by simply sending an email to a given email address.
That's where I thought I could provide this service to other people because this makes publishing so easy (even my mother can send an email! But don't ask her to use a CMS…).
Hey provides this feature as a side-one and I want to provide a publishing platform by email as a core product. Then improving it step by step :)
Right. Well.. good luck with it. You may wanna get feedback from pro bloggers.
I've just improved the homepage so I explain a bit more what's yoop.blog is all about.
And now you can write your email address right into the page so I can contact you later :)
Let me know if you have any advises.
Hi there - would love to try it out. Congrats on the MVP launch. I’m sure there’s big things ahead for you.
Hi! Thank you!
Can you send me an email on [email protected]? I'll get back to you with the way to create an account :)
Done!
Thank you! I sent you back all informations for testing the platform :)
