Ask HN: I shipped my first product, now what?
Long time reader, first Ask HN. I shipped my first product
www.jamaicanize.com. It may not appeal to most hackers but the site is getting a decent amount of visits/day. I appreciate all your comments :)
I've been testing new features but most users ignore them and go directly to the translator page (core feature). For instance, there was a dictionary page but it got less than 10% of the total visits.
At what point do I stop tweaking the layout, ad placement and move on to something else?
Thanks
- yen223 14y agoMaybe you should fix any XSS vulnerabilities...
- kefs 14y agohow about /translate?url=http://www.news.ycombinator.com/ http://www.news.ycombinator.com/ ?
- albumedia 14y agoWould be fun but not beneficial form a user stand point. Most people just want to translate a few words, not an entire paragraph or page. Note that it is not an official language.
- kefs 14y agoGoogle Translate would disagree.. http://translate.google.com/translate_buttons http://translate.google.com/translate_buttons ..and the back-end would be trivial to code, even if you re-invent the wheel.
- michaelpinto 14y agowhy is there a google ad on that page? did you at least try to pitch a sponsor like the jamaica tourist board
- albumedia 14y agoI did not, but I'll take your advice an try a few Jamaican companies.
- ffumarola 14y agoIf you use punctuation, the page shows the encoding. e.g. Hey%2c ow yuh doing%3f
- albumedia 14y agoThanks, will look into it
