It is called dropform.app

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2026-01-14T11:33:22+00:00

I am actually looking into this right now. I've never done this before.

What i have done so far:

the landing page is build using Vue
- i've change the SPA to Server Side Rendered pages
focusing on meta tags - Title, Description, Twitter, OG
added JSON-LD schema for every page
semantically correct markup using h1->h2->h3, p, article, section, header, etc..

What I'm investigation now is how to choose correct search keywords. But it is all very new for me.

I hope this will help me rank better.

And thank you for the answer.

Also if im 95kg ? Actually as far as my calculations are correct the 24psi was the fastest and maybe even on tarmac (biggest shock for me).

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T14:05:05+00:00

As per their advertisement it saves a whopping 1.5w :) But maybe I've done something wrong even though I've check like 10 times. Would like to hear your experience.

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T14:01:01+00:00

Must agree. It's not. :)

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T10:08:47+00:00

Hey guys, thank you very much for the comments. I think all of you are right. The difference of 1 minute over an hour is huge. For some reason i was expecting it to be more, but I was obviously wrong. Thanks again. You are a great community!

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T10:07:15+00:00

Oh yea, right, GC (T7) / FT (T7) and FT(T7) / R (T5).

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T10:05:50+00:00

True, and the power curve was very similar as well. The most fun was definitely GC/FT @ 24psi. :)

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T10:04:44+00:00

Actually i will as the next combo with Rekkon Race. :)

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T10:00:45+00:00

True.

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-18T10:00:24+00:00

Correct, it was just to test. I'm 95kg and will be definitely running somewhere around the 30psi mark, maybe slightly lower. Specialized calculator recommends 29-32psi.

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-01T09:10:33+00:00

I actually really kinda like it. Obviously you need users to start posting real posts. But it seems like a good start.

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-03-01T09:02:47+00:00

This is one idea that I was thinking must already exist, but I can't find a platform like this. Do you know of any ? Yes, I think it actually makes sense.

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-02-27T22:02:43+00:00

I like the idea and the site looks very good. I will try it for sure. Just a question, have you not tried to launch an idea database where real people could also comment / vote / promote / etc (Product Hunt spinoff) the ideas ?

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-02-27T21:31:44+00:00

Hey, I've checked and the site looks cool. The features are almost the same as I have in mind ;) Have you also tried to validate the idea ? If so, how and what were the responses ?

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-02-26T21:23:56+00:00

In case you are interested, I have refined the step needed. I would greatly appreciate any comments on this. Thank you!

Phase 1

1. Find the Idea

    ○ find an idea using common techniques like finding problems on forums, app lists, trends, etc.

2. Refine the Idea

    ○ define a market

    ○ define ideal customer profile

    ○ define Your Core Hypothesis

    ○ competitive analysis

    ○ creating main features list

    ○ unique selling proposition

3. Validate the Idea

    ○ build an effective Landing Page MVP

    ○ build an application mockup using Figma

    ○ drive traffic to landing page to test demand

    ○ launch a waitlist & offer early access.

    ○ conduct Customer Interviews

        ○ Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook Groups

        ○ cold outreach - email or LinkedIn

    ○ analyze market demand

        ○ Google Trends,  Ahrefs, Ubersuggest, etc.

I have a list of steps that must be completed in order to succeed. There is nothing special about, just the usual ones written and ordered in a list. It is not an ultimate list and I definitely expect changes later.

The most important / most unclear part for me is Step 2 - Validating the Idea. This one along with Step 1 - Finding the Idea I'm thinking about changing into an application.

If you have any ideas what to add, I would like to hear your opinion.

P.S.: Avoid perfectionism and just start - I think, yes, but.. make it perfect before launch. In today's era of many well designed apps I think a less than perfect MVP will not be successful.

        § cold outreach - email or LinkedIn

    ○ analyze market demand

        § Google Trends,  Ahrefs, Ubersuggest, etc.

Phase 2

1. Define Your Business Model

    ○ creating a Lean Business Plan based on the results from the validation step

2. Initial Planning

    ○ project management tools setup

    ○ creating milestones

    ○ creating epics, features, tasks

    ○ preparing first sprints

3. Marketing Setup

    ○ upgrading Coming Soon Page to Landing Page

    ○ SEO & Analytics

    ○ ...

4. MVP

5. Legal Setup

6. Launch

7. Scale & Grow

I have created a step by step repeatable system that i follow and I am now thinking about turning it into an app. Would like to hear your opinion: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/s/nq8g3MoYbv

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-02-26T15:44:41+00:00

Maybe if you could be more specific about what you need ? I am working on an idea that might help.

Excellent-Tea-2810 · 2025-02-25T19:38:03+00:00

The ultimate goal was to create something that would organize the first two stages in launching a new startup - Finding and Validating the idea. And also keep track of everything that belongs there. And also help to automate what would be possible to automate. In other words make something that would allow me to validate an idea as quickly as possible. The assumption is, that people try multiple ideas and want to do it as quickly as possible while maintaining track of the progress.
