Pitchcard Explore - Pitch and explore ideas, find collaborators to build things

@fishsander we actually got this feedback from a couple of users. This will be part of the next release.

@lailo_ch cool! Good luck :)

@lailo_ch Great to hear a skip function is in the works!

@lailo_ch @fishsander one more helpful feature would be to see a history of the cards you have seen

@srikrishnaholla we're working on a own explore section where you will see the trending cards and the list of the cards you've interacted with

@_bigblind for now, you just can contact the other person if there is a help offer, not on feedback. We'll have a look into this, because in your case it would be very useful.

@lailo_ch Yes. Feedback shouldn't be a one-way street.

@lailo_ch Another issue at the moment, is that just a vote count can be tricky to interpret. I got 48 upvotes, and 44 downvotes. To what extent do the people who like it, like it, and why do the people who dislike it, dislike it? I only got one piece of feedback, which is a question about how it works. I created my card hours ago, so I can't edit it to answer that question for future viewers. Would it be a good idea to archive this card, and try to create a new one with an improved description? Is that the kind of iterative process you want to encourage?

@_bigblind We discussed a lot about the edit functionality. The conclusion about it was, that we added a 15min time window to fix small typos. In your case, the description seems to not explain the idea good enough (feedback as questions). So you might need to archive this card and publish a new one with a description which answers the questions inside the feedback. Do you think there is a better way to solve this problem?

@adedayocharis thank you! We just have the web version for now but depending on the success of it, we might build it

@susu__garcia awesome ok. Keep us posted.

@adedayocharis sure thing! cheers!

@susu__garcia @adedayocharis build it and I will give you the contacts to make it happen and be better than shark tank

@yachtsofideas @susu__garcia the app you mean? l am very capable. Kindly checkout www.ikontracker.com.au

@danistefanovic Thank you for hunting PItchcard! People wanted it, and they got it! We made: - A Explore Section where you can find other people’s ideas. - Apart from voting and sending your feedback, now you can offer your help to build an idea! - Sign up is really easy! Use your Facebook or Twitter account. Who knows, you may help to build the Next Big Thing!

@danistefanovic Happy to answer your questions and read your honest feedback. 😄

@danistefanovic I initially didn't see the Tinder style voting on a single idea when I went to your Explore section, and misunderstood the single card I saw there to mean that you only had one pitch currently on the entire site. In my interpretation of the word 'explore', I thought I was going to see a lot more than just a single pitch at a time, and the current design could turn people off because they don't realize how many other pitches are waiting on the site. Maybe a counter and some kind of 'recent/trending/top' pitches sidebar?

@joostschuur thank you for your feedback! Yes, you are right, we will add a next button visible when exploring cards to let people know that there are more ideas and a counter. Actually you can see the counter but only we you are logged in.

@theoblochet thanks for your feedback! We believe that every good idea needs to be pitched in 2–3 sentences. And this is only possible if you exactly know what the goal of your idea is. This limit makes people get to the point. Think about it as an advertising, there you have a few chars as well 😁

@susu__garcia sure, it can work. But a framework where you can talk about *problem* and *solution* would be great. You might be right : I deleted my original pitch and wrote it a few times over, and managed to fit it within 2 or 3 sentences :)

@theoblochet awesome, thanks :)

@susu__garcia @theoblochet I felt it's very restricting as well. Any ideas should describe the problem it is solving. 200 chars is not enough to describe the problem & the idea IMO.

@selvagsz @theoblochet i see your point but if we allow very long descriptions, users won't read and interact with it as much as they do with short descriptions.

@rotemthegolfer This is the Best. GIF. Ever.

@jeffrey_wyman good input. Do you want bigger font in general or just on mobile?

@lailo_ch I'm on desktop so it only takes up maybe 15% of screen. On mobile I bet it looks fine.

@jeffrey_wyman yeah, on a such big screen, it looks very lost. Definitely need to improve that for desktop.
