Cool idea.
> Oh, also: it’s free.
Your target users, developers, have the "I'm a product" meme at the front of brain. It certainly immediately came to mind when I read that.
I'm not saying you are selling me, but some treatment of that concern might make the paranoid wing (proud member) more comfortable.
And if you are selling me, well, nothing wrong with that, but be up front about it.
- alanfriedman 11y agoGood point - I should probably spend more time working out the text on the landing page, as I could see how that could come off wrong. To be honest right now I'm just focused on making users happy with a product that's useful for them so I haven't given too much thought as to what's next. Thanks for pointing that out though - I'll definitely think about it.
- shostack 11y agoAnd that's perfectly fine, but then you end up on the other side of the coin which is: "How do I know you don't plan to sell me out down the line or that you'll disappear in a few months once I've invested time and energy into setting things up?" So really you need to make sure both are addressed ;) Congrats on shipping!
