| Hey congrats on launching your project, regardless of feedback and however it goes you should be proud of the work you and those around you put in, don't forget to reward yourself and reflect on the experience. --- Feedback, now, it is negative, but please don't take it personally, it's purely intended as an honest, transparent brain dump from when I landed on the page. 1. Rather than telling people something as you see it in the main paragraph - tell them WHY this product is needed in your minds and WHY you made it, I don't think many people are going to read that paragraph to find out why the app exists and why it might be important or valuable to their lives. 2. The front page is very noisey, I didn't know where to look and it felt 'too bright', I don't know why but when I saw the bright baby blue it made me think of either something disposable or something to do with babies / baby care (no idea why!), so the blue makes me think of immaturity for some reason and the yellow makes me think of danger or healthcare for some reason (again, I don't know why healthcare, it's just what came to mind so I thought I'd mention it). 3. Source code - where is it? If it's not open source why? and if it uses some open source components what are they? 4. Privacy / Security information, independent audits or the source code would be useful to instil trust. What data do you store / share / ask for / share with, how and where is it stored and handled (or classified) and why. 5. 'The possibilities are endless' - sounds like lorem ipsum title, from what it looks like the possibilities are actually very limited and that might be fine but saying that this product gives or opens you to endless possibilities, as a side node, I can't see the reason to clutter the page with # tab-like titles that scroll you down just a few lines as the landing page isn't that long, on my desktop for example it's not even 1 full scrollbar from top to bottom. 6. Facebook is dying and quickly, why not integrate with other platforms or do something decentralised / network neutral? When I think of Facebook in 2017, I think of out-of-touch social meetup groups, privacy concerns, a different kind of blue (yes as in the colour), siloed culture and social bubbles. I just don't see it as relevant and I watch as more and more people say similar things every few months. 6. Can you export your 'data' at any time? and if so to what formats / where can I sync it to? 7. Silly, petty thing that doesn't _actually_ matter but your site / app just launched but the page says copyright 2016, I know it's silly but it caught my eye for some reason. Again, _please_ take this just as constructive criticism, I'm probably not your target audience, I just wanted to give honest feedback and it shouldn't put you off want to improve / change the product, create new products dream of ideas or down right disagree with me - that's all fine and I really hope you keep whatever passion and ambitions you have rolling forward. About me as some random internet person that saw the site and brain dumped for you: Male, early 30s, works in IT engineering (ops platform delivery in a very devops like culture), I have 330 apps installed on my iPhone 7+, I use macOS on my work desktop and laptop as well as my home desktop, I have a couple of Linux (Fedora) laptops / handhelds and I also have an Oneplus 3 Android phone just for playing with. Location is Melbourne, Australia, Personality is driven leader and enabler, overly outspoken (as you can tell), know what I don't know (which is a lot) and this is now sounding like a dating profile! Hope that helps in some weird way! -Sam. |
