Finished MVP

After breaking our heads over the product and lots and lots of interview with similar apps - we had an idea about how our product should look and feel like.
Initially two of the cofounders were convinced on having a web app for learning since they thought that proper learning can only happen over a laptop/PC. But after interviews with our target group, we found that no one likes to open their PC after their 996 shifts! Mobile screens and sometimes Tabs are the only media they like! So mobile app it is.

    This is really cool! Congrats on this milestone. I used to work at Coursera and will always have a soft spot for new educational tools. Shorter, bite-sized content is a big win. Duolingo pioneered this with their language courses; I'm excited to see it applied in other course verticals.

      Thanks so much!! We want to make it interactive like Duolingo (although not as threatening lol)
      Also, would really like to get your insights about your work at Coursera whenevr you have the time! Pl let me know :)

    This is awesome, love the "demo" of a mobile app on the website itself. Very clever way of delivering a taste of the value.

    Congrats! skillx looks great. The landing page is really nicely laid out - I like the split view here. Everything just feels nice and fresh and modern. Very product-hunty, which is great.

    I also feel like you did a good job laying out the information and breaking it into pieces - I guess that's good because that's the point of skillx! Ha. Well - due to how nicely the landing page is broken up, as a user I'd definitely be interested in signing up.

    Nice work.

    Hey there, just had a look at your landing page - check the FAQS as the headings look like they’re button or something with round corners - the radius is cutting off some of the first characters.
    I’m viewing it on iPhone.

      Please share a screenshot?

        It's the same with the browser viewport shrunk. Here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/Bngvfki

        Edit: Set each FAQ link's button element to have border-radius: 0; to fix

          Wow. Thanks a lot!! I'll fix it :D

    I'd recommend going with a mobile-first/mobile-friendly web app if you haven't already started.

    From my experience building for the web and for iOS/Android with React Native. Web app is much easier to build and maintain, and you can get updates/fixes through much more easily without the headache of app stores.

    Just my 2 cents though!!

      Definitely consider Progressive Web Apps for this.

    2. 2

      Thanks so much for the feedback! We went with React Native Mobile app because we are dealing with aggregated content. Opening the blogs in the web app lead to a new page opening and that lead to a bad UX.
