🚨 Landing Page Roast: 48 Hours Only 🚨

@alexmarin (oh wow love it) I'd say the main thing that stood out is the cursor change - while I think I liked it, I wasn't totally sure where to click and had to find that sweet spot.

I also was then curious about your other projects. That page, while informative, the previews popping up over the word surprised me + I didn't love that it moved around. I wanted to look at your work! Thankfully I could by clicking 🙏

"Make it simple, but significant" - that you did 🫡

@ben_griese Awesome! I was wondering if the work isn't too hidden. Made me rethink, thanks Ben!

@alexmarin 

• Good personal site

• I tend to ask "Which of these are 'real' projects" when I look at portfolios. I googled for Aparte and SPRT and couldn't find them

@alexmarin I love this, similar to Ben, the cursor change threw me for one but I did get used to it after a bit. Another thing for me is the copy being right aligned at the start it kind of messes up my reading habits, but that could just be me, other than that I loved this!

@steveb Thanks Steve! That's very interesting and I wondered if it was time to update. SPRT has been acquired by another company and merged with it. Not much of the original design around, but still one of my most interesting projects. Aparte has unfortunately decided to stop their business 2 years into it. Too much work to maintain a bakery. Maybe I should say something in the case studies! Thanks again!

• Cool

• You should show the product out of the video or else we never get to see it unless we watch the video

• Growth idea: give us a free credit to use it if we give you an email. Ex I want to know what it says about me bc then I can tell if it's good.

• Add social proof!

• I like this, good work

@steveb Thanks Steve! Good idea to show people their own profile on sign up. I can also show some sample profiles on the landing page for them to experience the product before sign up :)

@mahima_manik  Hi Mahima, by looking at the hero section, i thought your tool is a prospecting tool, But when i watched the video i realised what tool is about. so may be change the positioning.

• May be try with "Know everything about your next prospect before the Zoom call loads." some thing like this. or may be add a subhaedline

• Highlight the calendar integration, like how it connects, what data it surfaces

• Grab some short blurbs/testimonials from founders or sales reps

• also have a section showing how it is different from other data tools, Also highlight the icebreaker feature taking local news information.

• The three points below the hero section are not clearly visible

Hope these insights help.

@praveen_chary Thanks a ton for the thoughtful feedback — really appreciate you taking the time 🙌

Totally hear you on the positioning — I’ve been torn between keeping it broad vs doubling down on sales folks. But your point about the hero section makes complete sense (and love that headline suggestion btw 🔥).

I will definitely on website copy change to make the calendar integration & daily email briefs feature stand out.

Thanks again!

@maushook 

• Really templated, doesn't build trust. Feels a bit scammy.

• Who doesn't have a website?

• I lose trust when the Stripe business name is not the website name

• The Stripe form has a better description of what you get than the landing page

@dev_singh 

• This is pretty cool

• Very clear

• I want to use it

• How are you growing this? How it's going?

• Nice work!

@steveb Thank you so much, we just launched it today here https://www.producthunt.com/posts/notebooks-your-ai-whiteboard

I want to use it

That is great, feel free to sign up and start your free trial. If you run into any issues or have feedback just ping me here at dev@notebooks.app

How are you growing this? How it's going?

Day 1 and we are at 104 customers which is fantastic. I have some ambitious yet lean GTM plans like EGC content, niche newsletter sponsoring, etc. Always open to new ideas too.

@vivekinkoop 

I like the interactive demo. I was a bit frightened by the voice. It feels really wrong when a website is talking to me (though maybe AI is going to change that?)

@vivekinkoop 

• Overall pretty good

• Interactive demo is cool but voice scared me, too

• The headline "Turn SQL Data into Decisions" is really good but none of the copy supports decision making. My two cents is that humans tend to like graphs and charts but any big company can tell you that no one can do anything with graphs and charts.

• Add a summary of customer reviews, ex 4.9 out of 5 by 10000 people. 6 random reviews doesn't help me with social proof.

• "How it works?" is a weird heading. "How does it work" or "Connect Draxlr in less than 5-minutes" would be better IMO

@vivekinkoop Love the demo, I'm a sucker for a good interactive demo. I'd consider removing the voice unless it plays to an accessibility point.

One smaller point is you have some widow words (words on their own line, usually end of sentence words) these annoy me to no end as a writer. An example is: "Use our Query Builder and AI to get answers from your SQL data." with data being on it's own on a new line.

@aaronoleary Thanks, will fix!

@povedaaqui1 

• "Revolutionizing Network Management" made me not know what this was. What network? LinkedIn? My friends? The follow up is "Empower your network operations with AI-driven solutions. " so now I am thinking about network security and then you make it more clear but is your customer's problem that they need to revolutionize their networks? Clearer headline would do wonders for you.

• What about simplifying "AI agent for real-time network device management using natural language interactions" as "Chat with your security network"

• Feels like a lot of buzz words and over complication

@sea_local 

• I knew exactly what it was

• It worked

• I'd suggest changing upgrade prompts on the single QR code page. "Get Scan Tracking" doesn't mean anything to me as a non-QR tracker nerd. What about showing a sample dashboard grayed out and prompt me to track usage or some other prompt?

@timchosen 

• Super clear and simple, nice work!

• This is a very busy space- how do you get customers?

@a4ibrahi some text is not even visible on the dark layout.

• You need to focus more on the security part as connecting bank accounts is very sensitive information.

• Place option for "Book a demo" so that without demo i dont think users will directly signup and use the product.

• The video voice is soo low.

• try to partner with any bank or place some testimonials so that it build credibility.

@cranecriley 

• Do we really need cookie consents? (rhetorical)

• Domain is 🔥, 10/10

• Super simple and clean

• Call to action of newsletter is clear but 'book a lesson' has no supporting info. Who are you? How French are you? Why should I French with you? How much is the French? More info!

Thanks, @steveb! It's good to learn the Book a Lesson CTA feels unsupported. I'll think on that and see how I can make things clearer! I'm building a second page with answers to those questions, but I can definitely work some of it onto the landing.

@cranecriley I'm french and this domain made me laugh :D
