Do you think concepts are clear? Give me some feedback please :)

1. Too much text. 2. We need screenshots. 3. "Use your semantics" doesn't really mean anything to me. 4. It doesn't seem to do anything that I can't already get. You need to find a real differentiation, or explain it better if you already have one.

  Thank you! I know I have to work on the screenshots, just tried with the most minimalistic version I could. And yes, need to get the differentiator clearer.
  - petervandijck 15y ago
    Yes, first, do the differentiation. Do you know what it is? If so, just try to explain it to us here. We'll give feedback :)

      From what I know a differentiator is the key that makes you different from the competition, that makes unique your product, am I right?
      - michael_dorfman 15y ago
        Yes, but that's not what he was asking. The question is: do you know what your key differentiator is? If so, try to explain it to us here. It's important to try to craft a "unique value proposition", and then make sure your page positions your product around that.

        Oh, OK. I'll try it then: its value proposition that differentiates from other solutions is its realtime and really focused output. The main interface is not graphs that sum what happened in a day, but more of what is happening right now. And of course its easiness to setup. My idea is you can know that people are doing something wrong on your website by looking at the stream. For example if you have an image that is understood as a link to the checkout, but doesn't have a link, this app should be able to tell it to you.

You need a better, more visual way to present what you're doing. A few sentences and a link to another page with another sentence doesn't really make a strong case for using your platform.

  Thanks for your comment! Yes, I know I have to work with visualization. I'll try to make another version that is more appealing, in these days!

I remember seeing a real-time analytics demo piece on HN a few days ago (http://chatteranalytics.com/ http://chatteranalytics.com/). It's a single page that displays a live stream of all the actions by various viewers on the page as you viewed it. While your solutions probably differ (and may in fact be complementary) it might be worth building a small portion of your analytics solution into your signup page, in the same fashion, to give the clearest indicator of what your analytics could do, and then you can SHOW people why they need it.

  OMG thanks for the tip, it's really useful!!!

    (I didn't know I had a direct competitor, but it makes it more fun)
