The only reason for using a service like that is for quick low budget iPhone apps, where I want to give clients an easy way to update the FAQ. But your landing page doesn't show what the admin interface looks like.
Also, I believe that monthly pricing won't fly for your audience. This is only interesting for low budget projects, and you usually don't have an ongoing budget to pay for stuff like this. You'll have to make it a pay-up-front solution.
I think this would work better as a component on one of those component marketplaces, and with instructions how to host the FAQ on your own server.
- hansibansi 11y agoTotally agree. Why would somebody who can code implement a service that allows you to integrate a simple view? Why would anybody pay for that? Why would you pay somebody per view? So many questions.
- msencenb 11y agoThanks for the tough feedback, I'll definitely mull it over. One of the reasons I made this was because I have multiple iOS apps in the App Store that are really just fun apps that I don't have time to support. Since they don't have websites or server side components, something dead simple like this makes a lot of sense.
- samfpetersen 11y agoI think the "Developer" tier has the most promise as a selling point. For apps you just want to get out there, I think some developers would be willing to pay 4.99 to quickly slap on a FAQ section. The reasoning might be "I'll do this for now, and implement my own solution later". Being able to update the FAQ instantly would be very important at first and is definitely worth 5 bucks. Very cool stuff!
