Landing Page with Email Subscriptions
by Dilusha GonagalaFinally launched my landing page with the ability to collect emails as subscriptions.
This took me a considerable amount of time to create because I made a bad decision to create this from scratch, And finally learned the lesson hard way. So just used MailChimp's form builder to manage the email list and integrated it on the site.
Please go there and chip in with your email if you are interested in the idea.

To increase signups, add some more information on the product.
What makes it different from other scrapers? Why should we be excited enough by it to give out our email addresses? What's the benefits?

Hi @RikNieu,
Thanks for taking the time to give your insights, really appreciate it.
That's a valid tip, I will be adding more details soon. :)
To answer the question,
How ScrapeGram is different from other similar tools available?
ScrapeGram will be designed to support data scraping in specific platforms. Thus will be easy to obtain data using adjustable parameters for each platform as the user desires.
For instance, I have used some data-scrapers that are more general in terms of usage, so the user has to configure a lot of things manually in order to scrape the data they need. I couldn't find anything more specific for a desirable platform.
Furthermore, I am trying to make ScrapeGram more affordable in terms of pricing. I know its sounds corny, but the idea is to provide some strategic fair pricing models.
E.g: Giving a user the ability to pay for what they actually scrape.

What was the downside of creating from scratch?
And what does 'from scratch' mean here? Writing html and css?

The downside was spending too much time on it, I used React for frontend and for Backend I used AWS Lambda for the service which will write the entries to a DynamoDB. To put all together and integrate it would have consumed too much time. Hence decided to use something like MailChimp.
