Please elaborate :)

That's a good idea, we should definitely add it.

Do you remember the context of the comment? I might be able to find it

100% agree with Wilbert.

I've been developing my products in Ruby on Rails for years and plan on doing so for many more.

I do enjoy learning, but I'd rather learn about building a better business, than a another programming framework. Of course you might have different goals, so do whatever feels right. There's no right or wrong here.

Oh, turns out there's a demo. I completely missed that link initially. I'd just embed the video on the homepage.

Although I don't think the video actually demonstrates what the product is like. I just see a bunch of Airtable screenshots (?) and loud music.

I wonder if some static screenshots would do a better job communicating the product.

I briefly scanned through the landing page as I would normally. I intentionally didn't read each and every paragraph.

To better mimic when seeing someone recommend it on Twitter, or finding it through a Google search, etc.

It seems like you somehow take customer tickets and turn them into a roadmap for me. I've never used Hubspot, so I'm not exactly sure what data it can provide.

I'm not sure what Pliik will provide me either. It can't possibly recommend fully thought-out feature ideas. I'd like to see a preview of what Pliik is going to suggest me and how.

When you have an unclear idea of what your customers want (for example because you're an established business and you're not doing daily customer support yourself).

• Show a demo of what the product will look like
• Prove to me that Hubspot has enough data to generate feature ideas from
• The texts are hard to read. Low contrast and centered. Abstract language

I feel like people have a desire to be a part of a community, but I'm not sure they necessarily realize they want to join a community. Does that distinction make sense?

I think the current page is too focused on the concept of communities, while really it should be about finding your peers. Meeting people with similar interests, hobbies, or tastes. That this can happen through joining an online community, is secondary.

What does that mean in practice?

Well, I think rather than showing a list of online communities, you could perhaps have a questionnaire. Asking people what they are looking for. Are they looking to connect with like-minded individuals? Or do they want to expand their worldview and seek out opposing perspectives? Do they want to meet new friends to hang out with in real life (perhaps initially through connecting virtually), or are they looking to connect with people in a more professional way?

Based on what people are looking for (their actual needs), I think you could guide them to the right community to join. Perhaps you even could include tips to get the most out of that community. Like you pointed out yesterday, WIP isn't the place for self-promotion. So that's something you might want to point out if you recommend WIP to someone. But perhaps some other communities are totally fine with it, and so it's worth explainig that as well.

I think with that approach Community Finder becomes more of a personal guide, helping you find your peers, rather than just a list of places where the reader has to wade through him or herself.

• I'm not sure who's it for. I run an online community (WIP), but the list of tools doesn't immediately speak to my needs. Rather than categorizing by type of resource, I think you should categorize by need.
• For example "Getting you first 10 members", "Growing a community", "Monetization", etc
• Who's doing the curation? Why should I trust you have a good sense of what tools are good? That isn't clear. Perhaps it could be solved by letting people upvote their favorite tools and showing the vote count.

• Love the simple design
• Online communities are very trendy right now, it seems like a good market to be in

It's very difficult to say anything meaningful about pricing, because there's too many different use cases.

An enterprise streamlining their sales process will be getting a lot more value about it than someone logging their yoga sessions.

If your goal is to build a profitable business I'd focus on solving a particular problem as best as possible. Which probably will lead to a more specific solution than you have right now.

If you choose to stay generic, you will have a hard time answering questions about pricing, marketing, etc, as it really just depends on the use case someone happens to use it for. It's not impossible (see e.g. Zapier), but I think it's an uphill battle.

Do you have any customers yet? Which customers are getting the most value out of it? What are they using it for?

Interesting idea. It has a lot of similarities with what we're working on for WIP, but we're focused specifically on completed tasks. Not so much journaling.

So I do like many aspects of the idea (piggybacking on people's existing email habits, viral effect of inviting friends, etc). But I wonder if people like their journal to be shared? I hardly journal, but when I do I appreciate that it's just for me. It's all about getting my thoughts on paper. Knowing I'm not writing for an audience. This lets the thoughts flow more easily.

I'm curious how the journaling process will change when you know there's an audience.

I wasn't able to get a home gym set up for Corona (too late, plus moving around too much), so that kinda blocked my progress. But I'm back at it now 🙌
