Show HN: My weekend project – Manual Viable Product
- idProQuo 13y agoIt's a fun idea, but why is it $20/month? I feel like I could throw this together for free. Am I missing something?
- taylor-smith 13y agoI love the idea as well but feel as though there should be some sort of free option
- miles_matthias 13y agoThanks for the feedback. Obviously for developers it's something you could throw together, but I'm planning on adding more features later if there's real interest in this for them. The target audience right now is more towards non-developers who just want to throw something together with as little investment as possible to validate/iterate their idea.
- prawn 13y agoI would've thought most non-developers would find a developer and ask them to partner or quote? Or try Wufoo or Weebly or something like that.
- znt 13y agoSo how is this better than a page with an iframe form? (http://www.wufoo.com/ http://www.wufoo.com/)
- miles_matthias 13y agoNo time to set up a form, just include your questions in the js call.
- tzakrajs 13y agoMVPs all the way down
- ddw 13y agoYeah, are the emails from this service sent manually?
- miles_matthias 13y agoNope, that part is automatic.
- techvibe2 13y agoI just clicked on sign up and now I can't and I would close my browser.
- miles_matthias 13y agoFixed it- thanks ;)
- cr3ative 13y agoI clicked "Sign Up", then pressed "Cancel" on the Javascript input prompt. You cannot close the this prompt without either forcing your browser to stop creating prompts, or by providing a valid address. Disabling my "cancel" button is not friendly behaviour at all.
- miles_matthias 13y agoFixed it - thanks for your feedback :)
- geofft 13y agoDoesn't look fixed; I just tried it a minute ago. I almost had to kill my browser. (Frankly, I'm disappointed in my browser that it didn't detect abusive behavior from the website.)
- miles_matthias 13y agoTry Chrome - they give you an option to check a box and not allow any more popups.
- xerophtye 13y agoSo does FF (normally at least)
- alexnking 13y agoYeah, it's still happening for me (Safari)
- miles_matthias 13y agothanks for the tip about safari. I just assumed safari would follow the convention, but nope. Should be fixed now :)
- edmack 13y agoHa. This is identical to most of my tech backend!
