Share your product here to get support, feedback, users (w/c 23 September)

@nanaadjeimanu I realize how difficult to build a product especially if you're doing it by yourself. Your product is focused on beautiful videos and I strongly believe that the first thing that it should have is a beautiful video. But there's no video on your product page in producthunt. And the video on your site doesn't work (it doesn't play).

@anna_panchenko Hey Anna, Thanks for your feedback, i have checked and fixed the bug on the homepage about the video not working. And yeah, this project is still very much WIP so updates are shipping by the minute and so by the close of day things would've changed so much about the overall outlook of the project.

@keeev I love the branding. The site is well laid out, and the messaging is clear. When I shop for software though, I need screenshots. If the interface sucks, I don't care how feature-rich it is--UI/UX is a deal maker/breaker. So I would love to see some actual screenshots of the features you're outlining. The product itself sounds great. The fact that it seems versatile is a big selling point since a lot of the productivity tools out there are only now realizing they need to accomodate different modes of working (list vs. kanban vs scrum vs gant).

@dustinwstout Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't sure about the messaging. Good to hear! I'll definitely replace the illustrations with screenshots it's on my list since the relaunch.

@dustinwstout just to follow up: I added some parts of the UI that show how the features will work: https://bardoapp.com/ :)

@mpanayio It's a funny idea! But don't you think that it will make datings are more unserious? Much easier not to join, not to come, troll someone, etc.

Thank you for your comment @anna_panchenko 😊 I completely agree with you that flaking/trolling are issues that should be addressed to ensure that people using the app have an optimum experience both online and offline. We started with a very different model that addressed that head-on. Here’s how it used to work: When a date was confirmed, both users would be charged with a deposit fee, depending on the type of date (coffee £5, drinks £7.50, food £10). This collective deposit amount would then be deducted from the bill at the venue at the specified date and time. This financial commitment was a measure taken to minimise the likelihood of someone getting stood up on a real-life date. In the unlikely scenario of you getting stood up, you could use the deposit already paid by the no-show party to drown your sorrows at the venue 🤣 The main issue that we faced with this approach was that people were reluctant to add their payment card details to a brand new app that they’ve just downloaded. We A/B tested it with/without the deposit and the version without the deposit was a lot more effective, so we went with that (for now). Additionally, by removing the deposit, we have one less side on our platform to manage (venues), so we can be laser-focused on the user-side to ensure that we are building something people love. When we get there, we’ll revisit the old (and perhaps other) business models to find the one that’s right for our app to prevent trolls and no-shows 😃 Hope that this answers your question, Michalis

@mpanayio Thanks for the answer. Is there any way how to vote or marked such a person? It's a crazy thought and I don't like to make a real an idea of Nosedive in Black Mirror but just curious to know did you think about something like this or not?

@anna_panchenko Haha loved the Nosedive episode in Black Mirror 👌 The idea of reviewing people and treating them like products doesn't sit well with us though. We are thinking of creating a feature that will prompt people to rate their offline dating experience. Ratings will not be visible anywhere in the app, they will only be for internal use. If they provide a low rating, we would then ask follow up questions to better understand what went wrong (the other person didn't show up etc). Another thing that we are thinking of experimenting with is a geo-fence around the selected venue, to collect data about whether one or both people attended the specified place at the specified time. If we have that data in place it'll be much easier to identify and remove bad actors.

@r_gandhi620 I like how pragmatically you implement the idea and use external tools like Slack and Doodle instead of programming everything directly. Keep up the good work!

@builtbystephen thank you 😊

@michal_stencel neat!

@abadesi 🤗
