Ask HN: Roast My Landing Page Design and Copy
3 points by dcraciun 677 days ago
Hey HN,

As the title suggests, could you please roast my landing page and the marketing copy? I am accepting unfiltered, raw feedback, and I understand that HN is good at this.

Here is the landing page: https://www.nextinject.pro

And don't worry too much about the product itself, the primary goal is to improve the website design as much as possible.

Many thanks in advance.

P.S. If you are curious about the concept behind my product, here is a recent HN post that explains everything: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41200720

>Using our pay-per-plugin model, you save 6x more.

Saying you save 6x more than the other product makes it seem like that the other product is already saving you money over some third thing that isn’t mentioned

The other product is a full SaaS boilerplate filled with components and docs, and rightly so, they have more to offer which is why they are more expensive.

However, I argue that more is not always better for a boilerplate product, because more boilerplate = more confusion and unnecessary abstractions which can confine the user to using specific technologies.

My product aims to do the bare minimum to configure all of the important parts of your full stack Next.js app without any extra boilerplate.

In English if you say that you are saving 6x more it implies you’ve multiplied a non-zero number (the amount of savings before switching) by six. You clearly want to communicate that your product is 1/6th the cost, with a savings of $250. If the $250 savings is six times what the customer was already saving, then they would have already been saving $250/6, or ~$41.67 by using the other software you described.

It is 1/6 cost not 6x savings.

I guess the english wasn't too clear, I do think it's quite concise though and I will think of another way to convey the same message while keeping it concise.

Thanks for explaining this, I will look into it and change the copy using your advice.

Regarding the post on X, it looks like you've also posted the last 4 digits of the customer's card number and card type.

And is there any risk with exposing the Stripe payment intent ID like that?

Is the screenshot even necessary? The message body says everything just fine.

I perhaps shouldn't of exposed the card type and 4 numbers, that was me not being careful, however I don't believe it's a major risk since you can't really do mich with this, especially since the identity of the customer is hidden.

As for exposing the payment intent, there are no problems with this unless someone manages to get my stripe API keys and can then query by payment intent id.
