The one question I am left with when looking at the product is, "How do you pronounce dvel?" So that is something you may want to address prominently somewhere. Excellent job on picking out the images used to promote it. That should help on the conversions and is something alot of product launches seem to do poorly.

@sjsolares thanks Sigmund, great point. We recorded a "how to pronounce" for you: https://youtu.be/zOq9d7lEKUM

@peterbuch If you need to make a video to teach users how to pronounce your name, it's probably a really bad name. If you had dvel.com I could understand, but having an almost unpronounceable name will only hurt you in the long run. I'm guessing it means something in some language, but it probably has no meaning in all (!) others. My advice is to change it before it gets big - the more you'll wait the harder it'll get. But hey I'm just a simple man.

@danr_4 thanks for your feedback. dvel stands for duel with a 'v'. The 'v' in our logo is a mathematical sign for 'or'. That's the idea behind. Makes sense?

@peterbuch Yep. great concept, but it's still very hard to pronounce. If i tell someone "hey have you heard of dvel?" I'm pretty certain there's no way in hell he'll find you - "what did you say? dwell? vell? dell?" it's extremely hard on the ears AND the mouth.

@danr_4 thanks for your input and your support. How would you name it? :)

How will you further improve the quality of dvels shown to a user? Have you thought about limiting it to his/her interests or even a group of people? E.g. I need fashion advice, but I only want feedback from people that have an expertise in this sector.

Quite an interesting idea. In addition it might be interesting to allow people to add why they would go for a certain choice. Ever thought about doing that @peterpuch ?

@valscholz brilliant idea, thanks for the input, will discuss this internally. I'm pretty sure we'll add asking for experts advise to our product roadmap.

hey @valscholz, we developed an algorithm that orders dvels based on your voting behavior and some other parameters. We refine this algorithm constantly and so you should always get the best fitting content.

Why I need to open another app, wait for reasonable(not troll) responses instead of asking it directly into my Whatsapp friends' groups ? Otherwise, great implementation, nice UX 🐧

@skylifee7 very good question. dvel is streamlined for decision making. I used to ask people using Whatsapp, it takes longer, because the asked person needs to type text. The main problem I had using Whatsapp is, that you have a lot of distraction like comments and alternative suggestions. We wanted to create a product that offers the fastest possible feedback, if you get the question right, it should be easy for the person you ask and dvel provides the first feedback within seconds. Let me know if you have any questions.

@peterbuch That answer looked promising 👍 But, if I want to ask for a right decision to my friends, they must download the app ? Am I right ? I don't think they will be willing to download it, easily.. Maybe we can send shortened URLs with little web-application(decision making) on it.. And that web-application may ask for&promote downloading the app such as " Hey John! Thanks for helping your friend's food decision 🍕 If you want to ask for immediate answers for your complicated decisions, join us Today! bit.ly/xdvelapppx " 🐧

@skylifee7 that's a good point. Your friends don't need the app. Just create a dvel and share a web link to our webvoting via whatsapp. That's already implemented. Your friends can than vote even if they don't have the app. You can even set a dvel to private before you post it and than share the link to Whatsapp if you want that only your friends in a Whatsapp group can vote for it. Having a short link would be awesome, that's a great input. @phips28 let's do it.

Since community will be a crucial part of this app, I'm wondering what is your distribution strategy? How will you find users?

@3x14159265 We're planning some Guerilla Marketing efforts. One example is stickers placed in changing rooms of clothing stores (#whattobuy? ). Another one will be stickers in gym locker rooms prompting go back for another circle or go home. (#whattodo ?) In addition to that we're focusing on unconventional (can't say yet) formats on upcoming Social Platforms including @appmeerkat, @bemeapp, @YikYakApp etc. I'll write about it on Medium (https://medium.com/@peterbuch ) as soon as the campaigns go live.

I am thinking of using this app as a user testing for my designs, would be interesting to see people's response, although I am not sure if I am targeting the right users, but still cool! =)
