Closed Beta Testing

Got the MVP to a decent point (late 2018) and started closed Beta testing with my personal network, (ProductHunt Ship)[https://producthunt.com/upcoming/pathbase], and (Facebook)[https://facebook.com/pathbase]. 😃

The first rounds of testing went far from smooth, with bugs & crashes preventing users from providing substantial feedback. 😫

In the last few weeks, this has been improved drastically, along with major improvements in Onboarding. 🐱‍👤

Still struggling to get good retention, and my **#1 priority is to determine if the app's value proposition is off, or it's more of a UX thing. Don't have enough traffic to get huge volumes of feedback data, so going to communities (like IndieHackers) to acquire as much qualitative feedback as I can. 🧐

    Interesting project. I love what I have seen so far. What are the possible revenue engine here?

      Hey @emekaonu, apologies - I literally got flooded with the Open Beta release, integrating user feedback & new features.

      The revenue engine here would be corporate learning, where we sell a platform to companies where employees can easily manage their careers & spot skill gaps, find top learning resources curated for their career goals, and participate in collaborative learning with other team members.

      This obviously would be a tiered SaaS, with the premium features being organizational analyses on learning activity & skill gaps - particularly helpful for fast-growing, medium sized companies and large corporations.

      Hope it's not too late to answer your questions here!

      Btw - have you tried the app yet? I'd love to hear your thoughts...!
