Reminder Bot

Post issues that have been proposed:

• The website is hard to understand why this is built
• It's a difficult registration process
• Pricing is too low

What has since changed?

Home page:

• Update the design to focus on showing that this app is for multiple reminders, and the benefits/opportunities there. A lot of people expect this application to
  work like all the other once off reminder. This is not the niche I want to target.
• You can now "fast track" the sign up by pre-selecting options within a basic form

Pricing page:
Whilst I don't thint that the previous pricing structure was too low, others did. I've now slightly adjusted my marketing on the issue to complete payments over a 3 month period.

I am now also describing the pricing structure explicitly and in a simple way

Product:

• You now require 2 or more reminder messages. This is my niche, along with the option to choose mulitple third party connections
• The add/edit reminder page has dramatically changed how to edit messages. It's much smaller and (hopefully) should be more intuitive.
• The sign up process is shorter via the interactive home page

Others:

• A new font face has been introduced for the website and the app.

It's always the smallest things that sometimes have the biggest impact when updating applications. Here's what happened:

• Day 1: Move the create a reminder page to before payment
• Day 3: Introduce trial sign ups
• Day 6: Remove the credit card form
• Day 7: Celebrations as the traffic is finally funnelling into the application
• Day 8: Realise that everyone using Google Hangouts Chat isn't receiving messages... It looks like we aren't sleeping tonight!

What can I say? Small successes always bring their own complications.

Oh my goodness! What a journey and what an achievement! We're finally up on the Google Hangouts Chat bot list!

To get to this point we had to work hand in hand with the Google Hangouts Chat team to ensure that every word and situation for our bot we intuitive enough for anyone new. You find yourself doubting your skills to speak, but in the end it's very worth it.

Thanks to the patience of the Google Hangouts Chat team. We understand that dealing with someone on the other side of the world can be quite slow, but they kept with us right up to push live.

Features include:

• Send reminders to Google Hangouts Chat
• Create a chat bot on Google Hangouts Chat
• Connect to Google Hangouts Chat from Reminder Bot

If you want to find us on Google Hangouts Chat simply search for "Reminder Bot" in the bot list. https://chat.google.com

Welcome to the modern world Reminder Bot. You're now on Slack!

EDIT: This is now our most requested connection!

Features include:

• Send reminders to Slack
• Connect to Slack from Reminder Bot

Welcome Facebook Messenger to the Reminder Bot family! You're now our primary way of receiving reminders!

We have completed the process of providing our application to Facebook to be a part of the Messenger platform. It seemed a little too easy... Did anyone else breeze through this without too many issues?

Features include:

• Send reminders to Facebook Messenger
• Create a chat bot on a Facebook page
• Connect to Facebook Messenger from Reminder Bot

You can find our page here, it's a work in progress. https://www.facebook.com/reminderbot.io/

And we're live!

It's a small win as we don't have traffic, but the app has been migrated to the cloud and users now have the ability to sign up.

6 months has been a long time to chip away at this project but we're finally running.

Welcome to the family Reminder Bot!

Here's where it starts. My wife and I receive our first messages. Yes, they're incorrect as I'll find out in the next few days, but they have been sent! All new children in the family have teething problems when they start out.
