Launched on Product Hunt 🚀

I posted https://minimaps.io/ on PH today!

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/minimaps

I don’t have a large following so I’d appreciate any upvotes and feedback you have!

This community has already been really helpful as I’ve been building out the initial product and providing a lot of great insight a long the way. So, thank you 🙂

    Great job, I know launching on PH is both exciting and daunting. All the best. (Upvoted)

    Sounds interesting.
    Some stuff that might be challenging:

    1. Same ideas may have different titles - > might spam the page for same idea.
    2. If there are not many votes, it may give a feeling to the users that not many use your system. It might make your product to look "cheap". I think it better to hide it. Or to use for example "popular" or "unpopular".

    Good luck!

      Thanks!

      1. It goes into an inbox where an admin approves so they don't need to accept all of them. The user doesn't see these.
      2. Transparency is key and removing it doesn't accomplish what we've set out to do. It's up to a user how to use it and they can always disable voting if they have low traffic.

    Congrats for the launch!

    Your landing page looks really cool. I tried to test the product, but for me your roadmap loads really slow (5-10 seconds). Any ideas why it takes so long to load? Is it the current traffic?

      Thank you!

      Are you sure it's not on your end? Haven't been able to reproduce and seems to work perfectly fine for others.

        Yes, it's definitely not on my end...

          I've tested with multiple people, multiple computers/devices and haven't been able to reproduce.

            Did you test from multiple geolocations?

            Does the entire roadmap load instantly for you, or first it loads the layout and a bit later the actual items in the roadmap?

            I suggest implementing some basic performance metrics to check if there's something wrong.

            1. 1

              I do have that implemented and I'm not seeing any issues with other geolocations. And it will always load the layout before the data. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.
