Launched a simple landing page
by Benjamin KatzHere's the landing page that I put together: https://printswarm.com
There aren't any pictures or videos yet because the product doesn't exist, but I hope it clarifies what the app does well enough without those things! I'll build further if enough people are interested in this concept.

Hi! I looked at your site. I like how it is so simple! I hope this style matches your dream customers.
These are the things I noticed:- Contrast ratio issues. Please use CSS Overview.
- Instead of using a full link to show a printables.com example, you could use a link with the printable's title. Like this: Minimalist Speaker Stand. A link's text should describe what the link leads to.
- I think you should somehow highlight that you only operate in United States. My eyes didn't catch that first.
- I see that you used a Printer icon from Freepik. I recommend you to use svgrepo for free svgs, most of them are Public Domain meaning they don't even require an attribution. I think no attribution shows that you are more professional, like you custom made it.
I have one question about the business itself. What if 2 or even 5 people order something at the same time? Do you have multiple printers so you can really deliver within minutes? Or it doesn't take that much time to print things?

Okay @tomoviktor, I've fixed most of what you mentioned, fixed the link and (literally) highlighted the US requirement! For the icon, I found a completely free one that had almost the right style and made some edits in GIMP since I have some familiarity with graphic design. Let me know what you think.
One caveat: I'm not familiar with the contrast ratio tool in Chrome (thanks for letting me know about this, didn't even know Chrome had this feature) but I managed to fix couple of the warnings. I think overall it looks better now and I'm going to leave it as is for the time being, but I'm not meeting AAA compatibility on some of the items - not sure I understand the difference between AAA and AA. 🤔
Thanks again for the feedback!

I love to see the fast response and update!
All the things I mentioned are fixed right now, good job.
About AA vs AA: it is about which font size it passes or not, read more at A vs. AA vs. AAA.Love the idea. Now I get the 'within minutes' phrase. Thanks for explaining it.

- Will take a look at these suggestions and make some changes, thanks! Freepik = just the first icon I found and I wanted to move quickly to get something out there. Agree that no attribution icons are better, will fix it shortly. EDIT: fixed! See above comment.
- The idea is to deliver in minutes after the print is complete. In general, having enough printers on the platform is a solvable problem - printer owners want to make money/are generally excited about this idea so far and there are commercial 3d print shops in major cities with multiple printers that I can sell on this. I'm going to be the first printer on the platform though since I own one. I'll get a feel for demand that way and iron out some of the kinks before offering it to other people on the waitlist.
Thank you for the detailed feedback!

Like the idea , Uber for 3d printers.
I'd like it for color Lazer too!

Thanks @Rishi_Uttam! What do you mean by color laser? If you mean printing normal documents in color with a laser printer, I thought about that, but there are some personal information concerns i.e. people typically print bank documents, legal docs that may have personal information on it and I wouldn't want to trust random people to print out those kind of documents for me if I were a user.
