it still doesn't answer the question.. who decides the criteria for highlighting certain parts instead of others?
Me, it's a set of heuristics that I am developing. There are simple like "emotional language" or "faulty generalisation", and more complex one, like flaws in logic
Trix is amazing and I've used it elsewhere, the problem is that I need something that can handle custom dropdowns. The reason being this is an editor for an email and my users need to be able to paste merge tags from a dropdown menu (like MailChimp) :(
You could add functionality like that to Trix. Chris (@excid3) did a GoRails episode about adding @mentions to Trix you could use as a starting point.
and who judges what is propaganda and what isn't?
A set of heuristics and a bit of machine learning. It won't judge, it will only highlight what it finds dangerous, letting you, the reader, to decide rest

I think some people are much easier to convince than others. Otherwise I wouldn't explain the 30 customers I already got for a product that hasn't been launched yet :)
For sure, but keep in mind that the customers you reach pre-launch are probably people that you you have an existing relationship with or are otherwise more likely to hear you out. Once you launch the product and have "drive by" visitors, I think those are more difficult to convince. They might kid themselves they will just send a regular postcard and you don't get a chance to convince them otherwise because they've already left the site by that point. (These are all assumptions of course, but this is the potential issue I was getting at).
Hey Marc, thanks for taking the time to write this :)
Couple of questions:
- You say "All the examples are not real-life examples. I'd like to see some photos of the physical postcards. That's your USP (versus e.g. a text message or email), but you aren't showing it." Can you elaborate on this please? The photo in the hero section is real-life as well as the others on the page.
- "Being able to open the editor without signup is cool. Perhaps you can bring this editor to the homepage? Removing one click." You're right. I brought the editor to the home. What do you think?
As for your last point. I totally get it but that's often an excuse for not doing at all.
I can assure you that receiving a postcard with a personal photo (instead of a stock-photo one) is still a magical moment. My granny literally cried the other day. Most people will overlook the fact that it's not hand-written but will look at the fact that you actually took the time to do it
Good point about something being better than nothing at all. That said, I do think it's hard to convince people of that. I imagine many people will feel the same way as I do and don't give the app a chance.
With regards to the real life example, I mean showing actual photos of the printed postcards.

I've added a FAQ section, hope it helps :)
Hey Yvo, thanks for the feedback!
Regarding your last point, Surveyval automatically generates product/market fit surveys and, most importantly, extract the insights from the responses. So if you're asking yourself:
- who are my best customers?
- why do they love my product?
- which features make my users upgrade?
- what should I build next?
Surveyval gives you the answers to these questions.
I'm thinking maybe a live demo of the insights section?
didn't know that! thanks Marc
