VoteKit

I am that perfectionist guy who polishes his product until the product is "totally" ready. This time, instead of wasting huge amount of time on minor details, we decided to ship fast. 🚀

There is a great quote from Reid Hoffman, the founder of Linkedin, "If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late."

I can't call it "product" yet, but at least there is something to see :)

Finding a name for your project is hard. Usually, the ones you like are already taken. Since we have AnnounceKit, we started to search for something ending with "Kit".

Options were...
feedbackkit.com 🤢
roadmapkit.com 😔
upvotekit.com 😑
votekit.com 🤔 nice... but not available

I contacted with afternic to get a quote and... $3250 🤑
It was very expensive so we continued to look alternatives which we couldn't find :) Finally, negotiated for almost 1/3 of asking price.

We are running a similar SaaS, AnnounceKit. Basically, it's a tool to announce release notes and product updates which is the last step of feature development.

We tried to integrate the feedback collection process and roadmap to AnnounceKit but we could't fit them perfectly.

There was a choice to mini-pivot but we didn't want to confuse our current clients. So, we started VoteKit 🎊
