ASK HN: Preparing to launch for second time on Producthunt

So, in April 18 I launched colorsandfonts.com Colors & Fonts. Curated library of colors and fonts for Web Developers & Digital Designers. And it took 8th place on that day. I made significant changes regarding layout and content and I am planning to do much more. I am looking for recommendations regarding the relaunch. - What should I do? - What should I avoid doing? Any constructive feedback is also really welcome. Thank you and have a great day ! /Mike

What's your intention here? Just want to get more users, looking for help, trying to make money, etc.

  Well, that's actually a good question. My intention is to get more traffic and keep them. The first time I launched on PH it brought 1268 users. Right now there's between 150 to 300 users daily since april 18th. The site is free, so no money here is needed. I just want more users though... Thank you for asking.

    Why do you want more users? Are you wanting to build your own recognition in the UX space? I hope I don't sound snarky. I just want to better understand your thoughts and motives.

      No worries. I am trying to create an audience because I have some plans for the website. In the nearfuture I want to let users be part of it by letting them: - Create a profile, for an individual, team or agency. - Upload shot of their work and automatically / or manually create a palette, gradient and fonts used on the image.

Looking at the choices on the landing page, it's not clear to me what I'll get if I click on each other than a vague sense of what the text under each graphic says. I think it would be much better if each graphic showed a kind-of small version of what they'll see when they click. For instance the gradient choice doesn't even show a clear gradient and just looks like a rounded red square to me. It could show four gradients so I get a sense of the range of possibilities (e.g. grayscale, hue, saturation, etc.) Also the example for colour palette is confusingly showing a quantized gradient.

  Regarding the bald text. - I fear to explain more in case the user just can't other reading. Regarding the icons. - The palettes icon is using those colors because otherwise it would be too much. Regarding the gradients, do you mean the ones in the page or the icon. ? Thank you so much.

    The text is fine, I just wanted more from the graphics so I wouldn't even have to read the text. The picture in the box labelled "Color gradients" just looks like a red rounded square because the top-right red-orange gradient is so subtle. That's extra confusing because the box labelled "Color palettes" is showing colors in a 5-step gradient pattern. I would be good if "MUI Color Picker" had several small circles of related colors as it's graphic since that's how its used. And I have no idea what 'MUI' means. I hope some of that makes sense.

      You want a piture that goes like the saying. An image is worth a thousand words, it might be true that. I could work on that tho... MUI Colors stands for Material UI colors, is a very well known termn in UI / UX design. But I personaly do not like it either. I would write Material colors. thanlk you so much karmakaze.
