I agree with everything you've said. It's really not-ready-for-prime time--I really didn't expect as much traffic as it's gotten at this point. As I'm not ready to really push signups--I haven't put much energy into copy, enumerating features, convincing people to use it.
My goal is to create something that is a process/system agnostic tool that people can use for any number of uses. That sort of flexibility makes it difficult to succinctly express what the product is. When I get it to that point--I'll reread this comment and fix some of the issues you've brought up.
(I have a day job so development is slow going).
- crusso 15y agoYeah, lots of us lack time to do these side projects. You'll be a great deal more effective if you constantly focus on the most important next steps in the whole process rather than the particular parts you feel you're best at or that you enjoy the most. Might I recommend that you attack the above poster's criticism as your very next tasks rather than doing more product development or blogging about what you've learned? It sounds like you have a product that you can demo and talk about. Stop working on developing it. Switch to marketing/sales. Create a landing page experience that will get conversions.
- dclaysmith 15y agoI'd argue that as a product it isn't there quite yet. There a few deal breaker features that it doesn't have yet. Given the polish of Trello and other PM/collaboration tools I think I need to do the opposite--quit blogging and work on the product. I guess when you are doing both you just have to find a balance. When I get through this push of development I'm going to launch the premium plans and focus on the points @bmelton and others have brought up (copy, conversion, landing pages, etc.)
