First off thank you for taking the time to write this in depth answer.

1) I did make the mistake of not building an email list/marketing when I started working on the product. I spoke to some potential customers but I didn't build up anything around this. I also posted in facebook groups, indiehackers, HN, twitter and direct messaged some friends of mine. What other approaches would you recommend?

2) I wasn't expecting that, but I was expecting to make the front page. Don't think I got a single registered user and its free

3) Thats a great suggestion thanks

4) Yeah I see now I could improve this

Thanks for the advice again and I might take you up on the twitter DM offer!

Hm yes that might have been better. I read a couple "launch on product hunt" blog posts and it seemed like because hunter's followings don't get notified by email anymore that the hunter isn't particularly important anymore. It also seemed like many recent launches I looked at were hunted by their makers so I went with that. Next time maybe I should put more care into that. Thanks for the links, will check it out!

Hey Marc!

Thanks I found myself becoming a manager and I realized I prefer crafting and building products to managing. I am currently working 4 days a week as CTO and spending the rest of the time working on codebird/other projects with the aim to ala bootstrap solo founder.

I think raising funds is necessary for some types of startups and its a fine way to go for many startups if you're not sure what you're doing. Hiring great people is a lot of work and its hard to do and expensive and I think its a mistake to try to solve problems by throwing more people at them.

Thanks for posting the links!

Unfortunately not my dog but thought people might enjoy a cute dog

Seems reasonable enough

Whether the value proposition and how to use the app is clear on the homepage

Yes

If you would use the app

I'm not a target customer I believe

What other improvements you would like to see

Small points:
The background is very distracting whilst reading I'd recommend not changing it like this
The homepage is missing a title attribute
The Login button should probably be Sign up instead, this is a common pattern to target new users primarily as their intent is lower

I'm a big fan of the gradient text and the name :)

Ah yes that makes sense. Good luck with it Aleix :)

Interesting! I think or Die is a bit extreme but it also draws attention.

Post or Pay has that wonderful alliteration P-P. Maybe theres a third option & words that come to mind: 'Wager', 'Stake', 'Lose' but these probably don't fit your 'Or' format well. I feel like Im not helping so I'll stop. Maybe 'Publish or Pay'?

I would like to receive feedback on:
- Value proposition. Is it clear?
Yes
- Copywriting
I think its quite strong. Curious whether "Purchase now" is considered the go to pricing page cta (I don't know)
- Anything that comes to mind rly 😀
Product seems safe, solid and stable in the page design which is probably what your customers are looking for so I think its a good fit

Would not recommend sendgrid.

a tool to get emails from my users

Do you mean to your users? I would recommend postmark or mailchimp depending on whether these emails are transactional or marketing

What does the product do?

integrates with your customer feedback data to generate insights

⬥ Does this pass the “I get it” test?

Yes
