| Congrats on launching! The good:
I checked out the tool and seems to work as advertised. Also nice to see Replay browser based on a Firefox fork. The bad (and this is more your marketing/PR/branding, not product): - You require an account signup, OK. It's a Google only signup, OK step over that. But it did not clearly mention that you this put me on a mailing list and surely 5 minutes after I signup, I get a random email to support a launch on product hunt. - With the amount of engineering that went into it, I would expect you to be proud of the craftsmanship and your team. Instead the top of your website states you are proud of getting money from investors. This is more a vote against this trend, than your particular behavior. - I was able to find the post "How Replay works" [1] which is the actual content addressing your target market. The post conveys 2000 characters of information and uses 4.3MB of data to do that for a signal/noise ratio of 0.04%. It is the type of web obesity [2] that we are used to nowadays, so nothing new. Mentioning this only because you are a web engineering-centric company. Promoting the right values of web performance and engineering attention to detail is IMO important for a product talking to web engineers. I realize this may come as unpopular/beyond conventional wisdom but getting a different perspective is what HN is good for. Use the feedback at your discretion. Props for making an innovative product and good luck! [1] https://medium.com/replay-io/how-replay-works-5c9c29580c58 [2] https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm |
Your post feels smugly opinionated. If that wasn’t your intention, I don’t know what to say. Just look at your first two bullets. Passive aggressive and more.
