Beta Launch

Today is an exciting (and scary!) day for us, as we've now got Botswick beta launched on https://botswick.com, and are actively seeking early adopters among the Indiehackers community to help validate the product out with us as we iterate on further versions of Botswick.

We know that just because we've launched our beta doesn't mean that our work is over by a long stretch. We've got a lengthy roadmap of features and improvements that we want to be doing over the upcoming months; but at some point you just have to get your work out there into the eyes of the world and start getting real feedback, otherwise you'll never really know who you're building your product for.

Finding out the answer to that question is exactly what we're doing today, and we can't wait to hear what feedback we get from the community and it's users, and collaboratively grow this product together to provide as much value to as many businesses as possible.

If Botswick sounds like a product you'd be interested in, please reach out to me at [email protected]! We're offering the software for free at this time as feedback from our customers is more valuable than any amount of revenue we could earn at this stage, so please don't hesitate to jump right on in.

    dude from your landing page I still literally don't know what you do exactly or how I can apply it to my use cases. All you really know is it has something to do with automation?

    So after skimming through it I left - and you lost a customer.

    This shouldn't happen, you need to show me, not just tell me what you do and why I need it.

    show an example, show it in action, let me play with it without installing some shit or creating an account.

      I understand all too well that you have problems you just want to get solved, and that we didn't explain well enough to you how we can solve those problems. That's something we're already working on fixing. What I'd be curious about to hear about as well (if you don't mind) is what problems do you currently have that you were hoping this software would solve?

        I wasn't talking about myself, I was talking metaphorically in order to give you feedback.

        The point is from your perspective, anyone coming to your page is a potential customer, and its your job to convince them that they need what your selling, even if they don't even know it.

        Its not my job to tell you what problems I have that you can solve with your software, thats YOUR job! your working at this thing backwards lol

        1. 1

          I agree with your points. However, I would still like to talk with you about your business. And not in the metaphorical.

          Is that something you'd be willing to do?

      Thanks for the feedback! The website is unfortunately pretty bare-bones at the moment. We're currently working on a few major features that will take us out of beta and into a truly useful product. We plan on updating the site with "live" (interactive animated) examples and more information after we can offer a bit more functionality.

        It looks like a lot of the stuff your doing is done by UiPath. I hope your comparing yourself to them and how you differentiate and focus on a target market.

        1. 1

          We're actually quite a bit different from UiPath, which just goes to show how much work we need to do on our messaging. Thanks again!
