Roast my email marketing app

Question

Folks,

I shipped many things lately – personalized campaigns, contact fields, tags, and some improvements to the registration flow.

I'd truly appreciate it if you can try lavish.so and ROAST IT! 🔥

I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Thanks in advance.

That’s a good question, Vincent.

At Lavish, we don’t try to be *the everything* platform. While Brevo is trying to be an all-in-one platform with email, SMS, chat, and more (according to their h1), Lavish gets deep on emails. That enables us to ship fast and make something unique for our users.

That said, we have some work to do on the landing page to explain it clearly.

Hey Nikita, thanks for your feedback :)

As I said in the reply to Vincent, I have some work to do on the landing page. It's more than 2 weeks since the original post, so there is a bunch of stuff that I've shipped (as you can see on the changelog page) that hasn’t been updated on the landing page.

I'm working on it, one step at a time.

Cheers!

I feel like this can be compared to https://buttondown.com, correct?

I think your landing page does very little to tell me why I should use your platform. You said in reply to @vdgvince that you are focusing on doing a few things well. But certainly that's not the settings page where you can see the DNS records you need to enter on your domain?

You're showing me some of the table stakes features (DKIM stuff, CSV import, etc) and doing very little to explain why yours are better than Buttondown or anyone else.

So sell __me__, the marketer/developer fatigued with a million email platforms, on your tool. How do you solve __my__ problem? That's the point of this landing page after all. I expect you have DNS authentication records. I expect you have CSV import of contacts. I go to the changelog page on your site, and there's a bunch of more marketable features there - like the dashboard with stats, segments, fields, tags, etc. I don't get the impression on your homepage that you have these features and most people will simply not look there for them. They will assume you don't have them. Which sells your tool short.
