Minimaps
Simple roadmaps to keep everyone in the loop
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 🙂
I launched a new homepage based on the feedback from this community: https://minimaps.io
The biggest changes from the previous homepage are clearer copy, screenshots of the product with a link to our public roadmap, and easier to understand CTAs.
I also launched some new features including the most requested feature - Timeline! You can now view your projects in a timeline view (or turn it off if you want to as well).
Thank you!

I really like the homepage. Clean and simple.
It really shows what the project is about.Like @mogulchris said, a little more screenshots showcasing some of the features would make the page look even better. Maybe an image for each of the 6 features under the hero image.

Thanks! I'm adding a features page in the next couple of days that should show that

Very cool, really big fan of the demo you have in the hero, especially the little preview behind the "View our roadmap" button.
My only suggestion would be possibly adding further screenshots of the features if you could. I know you have little snippets about things like privacy controls and customizability but it would be great to see those in action before signing up (maybe even through a separate "features" page).
Good luck and great job :)

Thank you! I'll be adding a features page which will have more screenshots of the product (and more info on the features themselves)

https://minimaps.io is featured on BetaList today! I would greatly appreciate a ❤️ if you don't mind.

I've gotten a lot of great feedback recently - particularly around the UI and making it easier to request feedback / voting on features within a roadmap. I should have a release coming out by the end of the week with some nice updates and additional features.
Thank you!

Congrats, man
https://minimaps.io has reached over 500 signups with little to no marketing! The majority of our traffic has been from Twitter and IH.
I've gotten a lot great feedback from this community and have been able to make small incremental improvements. We were approved for Betalist a couple of weeks ago and I have all assets ready for a PH launch. Very excited to see what comes out of this.
I've also been working on a timeline view for your roadmap which will be released within the next week or so.
Thanks again and let me know if you have any feedback!

Looks neat bro. Congrats.

Congrats that's awesome!
https://minimaps.io just reached 350 signups!
A good portion of those who signed up are also actively using the product. I haven't done much marketing yet and most of the traffic was driven from IH.
I'll be posting on Product Hunt this week so I'm excited to see what happens with that audience.

Hey Nate, congratulations on this milestone!
Just checked out Minimaps, and I have to say it’s one of the best looking websites I’ve ever seen. Absolutely love the design and overall feel of the site. Awesome job 🙌

Congrats @nateschulte and good luck with the PH launch.

Looks really cool. One suggestion from my side is you can include some screenshots or video of the application on landing page, so that users know how it looks like and how it works at the first glance instead of trying to figure out themselves.

https://minimaps.io just reached 100 signups!
I didn't really do much marketing - I posted in a couple of forums (including IndieHackers). I'll be posting on PH most likely next week - I have one more feature that I'm working on that should be released by the end of the week.
It's not a lot but I'm proud and looking forward to growing our user base over the next few weeks.

It's looking good. Are you thinking about a timeline view also or you are moving forward with column style?
-

Thanks!
Yeah, I've been toying with a few ideas for a timeline view. Dates are being added shortly and then will help me set take the first step towards a timeline

I just posted on IH for now - next week I'm looking at doing more broad communications

Today I launched https://minimaps.io to the public! There are definitely a few things that need to be fixed and features are limited.
I've been working on this for over six weeks and I'm excited to have this launched to the public. I'll be posting on Product Hunt and other sources in the near future.
I'd love any feedback you could provide!

Upvoted.
Thank you!
Sounds interesting.
Some stuff that might be challenging:
Good luck!
Thanks!
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.
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.
Nice product! Just gave you an upvote :)
Thank you!
thanks it's was very nice job
Thank you!
I just upvoted! Can I hit you up via email when we launch?
Sure can!
