Ask HN: MVP complete. Potential features - QuicklyTest.it - Test startup ideas

4 points by emoray13 14y ago

Hi all. So QuicklyTest.it is live again and since my last HN post I've gone from 27 to 31 customers on numerous monthly pricing plans that I'm testing. Performance wise everything is going well and I'm looking to add maybe 2 new features to make the service more powerful.<p>I have reached out to my current customers but I haven't had much of a response so far. Once of the responses I did have was to just not add anything and to make the user experience even simpler (it's pretty simple at the moment) so that could be a potential area of focus.<p>Are there any pointers from HNers of where to go next? Perhaps integration with mailing list services (mailchip etc) or maybe some kind of live visitor feedback?<p>Thanks all. Paul.

Additionally - I guess any feedback on the website design, copy etc itself would be handy too as I'm not the best of designers :).

Interesting idea. For me, who is in the middle of validating an idea, I would be interested in finding out the actual mechanism that you are using to validate the idea. Would be great if there are some screen casts on your "tour" page to show how it is all put together and tested. By the way, on your "tour" page, there is a reference to learnmoreabout.it Great Work!

  Hi Yitchelle. Thank you for the feedback. learnmoreabout.it is where the tests are hosted if you don't want to CNAME your own domain into the question. The mechanism is basically the number of click throughs vs people leaving their email vs overall page hits vs time spent on the page. I'm continuing to define it but overall there is good feedback coming from users at the moment. A video is something I'm looking at. Do you think a screencast with commentary from myself is enough in this day and age or do people want a more flashy video?

Your pricing page has an issue with IE8. I cannot see the text "Click Here to get started" on the button unless i do mouse over.
