Honest feedback is really appreciated (and wanted) so I'm really glad you replied with that. We have taken some of those into account - 1) shoutts get categorized into channels (#AskStanford, #gocard, #CS106A etc) and that is one way of mak

I just added it to the question itself. Copy pasted here: Shoutt is a location-based app. It is a platform to share information with those around you. We're bringing the act of shoutting to the phone - when you shout only the people around

1. We had created those more as a way to create awareness - but you're right...by leaving out the what/why made the eyeball conversions really low. Big mistake on our part! 5. As you've both (thejteam and you) rightly pointed out - our need

Hi thejteam, Yes that could actually be one reason. The marketing till today has been more to tell that it's available and less to explain what it does. Maybe we should try changing our App store desc/screenshots to reflect the why.

A non-citizen of the US can register a company in certain states (Delaware is the most common one). I'm an Indian Citizen and our company is a C-Corp there. I go back and forth on a Business Visa.

I think it depends on what stage you are with the company and who you're dealing with. If its just 2-3 friends/partner and theres a good amount of trust...I think you can swing it with a spreadsheet for a while. You'll need to switch over a

Nifty tool! We'll use it to improve the page load times.

Haha. Thanks! We know the tendencies of college students.

We're changing our page once we launch this week to a more descriptive one. It will cover everything I mentioned (and more). We initially stumbled into "tt" because we couldn't find a domain name for Shout. But once we did, we felt that it

Hey vinaykuruvilla. Thanks for the awesome feedback. We'll start A/B testing soon. Your landing page looks great btw. We checked the landing page on a mobile browser (Safari & Chrome - iPhone) and maps loads fine. I think the server is

Yeah NaOH. We removed the ones after "invite" and "University" and this looks better. Thanks!

The pulses directly correspond to specific points on the map and we want the points to scale with the map on window resize. Making that change would require some more work from our end. We'll incorporate it later. Thanks though!

Great point. We split it now to be An app for you. And your campus. Looks good?

Feel free to leave your email. We do plan to expand beyond Stanford in the future.

Yeah, thats a good idea. Will try and see what we can add. Thanks for that!

Wow thanks! We made the change.

Hi Wilfra. Awesome! Thanks for the feedback...really useful. We've changed the "Leave your email..." to "Request a beta invite". And we made the fonts slightly low-key. We'll look into the other changes for the layout and incorporate them.

Hey doctorpangloss, thanks for the feedback! Once we launch (this week) we're going to change the site to have much more information, including a demo of the app.

Hi there. I think there's been a misunderstanding. We're actually launching this week at Stanford (our app has already been approved by Apple). The launch page is to get the email addresses of interested people and to create a pre-launch bu

Thanks for that - just added it.

Thanks. Feel free to leave your email. We plan to expand beyond schools once we finish with our beta launch at Stanford. No spam. Promise.

by mansigandhi 14y ago
Thanks a lot! We are really excited and launching next week. We set this up so that we can collect emails from Stanford students. Do you have any suggestions to improve it?
