Roast my landing page, go hard, I need it!
Hey everyone!
I worked for months on ☒ with selling the codebase as a starter kit in mind...
Now I'm ready to ship it and I just crafted a landing page using mainly PageUI, an OSS NextJs boilerplate made by ☒ !
I know I'm not good at copywriting and I have a huge tunnel vision on this project so a good roast would be awesome!
Go hard, I'm a though guy!
Thanks 🫡

First, you didn't share a link, so I assume it's indiesread.it/
I immediately love it! I wasn't expecting something so polished like this, and it looks even more user friendly than Goodreads. Immediately eye-catching and gives me tons of dopamine, so well done!
This is a really self-explanatory site, so I don't feel like you need a lot of copy on this anyway. (Which I'm a little bummed about because I'm a copywriter and love shredding copy lol.)
I like that you niched down to solopreneurs and indie hackers. Whether you keep it niche like this or eventually expand it, it's good to build a strong foundation to gain traction in the beginning.
If you have a different page in mind, definitely share that, though!
Oh wow I'm such an idiot sometimes 😂
Actually it was for
#directoryfast (directoryfa.st) but it looks like a good error!
I'm glad you liked IndiesReadIt and I'm really happy you find this visually appealing.
Thank you ☺️
This makes more sense! And of course I now see the project tag on the right 🤣
I've been click-clacking all day researching and writing for clients, so I'll come back and look to give you feedback later when I'm not half asleep.
Whoops look like I forgot the main thing!
Here's the link to
#directoryfast Landing Page : DirectoryFa.st
Hey!
Quick random thoughts:
* first, IMO there should a big "demo" / "view example" button there: share.cleanshot.com/YH4V0pvy
* here the gradient just feels weird to me: share.cleanshot.com/461SWJvR
* I'd switch black with white color for the text: share.cleanshot.com/N4mtKyxv
* there is a serious contrast issue with the colors you choose. It's just impossible for me to read. share.cleanshot.com/xyMnFhNt
* use white here as well: share.cleanshot.com/VMm83B5r
* same contrast issue on the first part of the text: share.cleanshot.com/VQbtrG9D
* colors could be tweaked here as well, contrast is not great: share.cleanshot.com/F5t1SSZ5
I didn't test the darkmode, I'm such a noob xD
It's way better in normal mode, but thanks for the roast and the ideas!
Ok! FYI I didn't enable any dark-mode or whatever. I clicked on your link and this is how it displayed for me.
The subscribe pop-up made me want to quit the website. Maybe open it a bit later?
I increased to 15seconds, was 6. Thanks Dmytro :)
Hello, Dany!
I made a recording for you. It's a 8-minute recording so I hope it won't be too long.

Wow that's a roast!
That's exactly what I needed, thank you so much for taking that much of your time, this is a goldmine 😮
I'm currently finishing documentation for the boilerplate itself but I'm impatient to start modify my landing page.
Can I share this video here and on Twitter, this is perfect for #buildinpublic ?
Hi, Dany! Absolutely, feel free to share this video if you think it could be helpful to someone.
Canvid working perfectly btw, good job!
