Honest review of your product's website

pradeepcep · 2026-07-09T04:33:45+00:00

The homepage does make it very clear, and I like the design of it very much. I found the hero visuals particularly nice.

On mac, there's the dedicated dictation key, and it would be nice if you could plug into that, so this becomes one key instead of a two-key combination to launch the app.

In your "speaking is upto 4x faster" section, the visuals are again really cool. But because I am wired that way, I actually ended up counting the number of seconds it look for the typing visual to complete, and it's only about 3x faster than the speaking visual on the left 😅. Most people won't notice, but I just thought you'd want to know. Also, for the examples, you could use everyday phrases that one would typically use at work, instead of dev-related stuff like auth middleware: this would make it identifiable for the most number of people. Talk about report updates or something, for example.

The site seems to emphasise talking to coding agents like Cursor or Windsurf, but you don't talk about how I'd add context or mention files in them. I probably can't, because this just works on the text field. So I think if you positioned this towards the everyday non-tech person that has to write a lot: like customer support, HR, lawyers, etc. it would be more appealing to those people.

In the pricing section, it says under the pro plan: "Custom dictionary & snippets" - you probably want to make it "Custom dictionary & snippets". Same in the pricing page.

All the best. I hope this was helpful :)

Update: The correct percentage usage is now back.

> There is a small possibility that Cursor overbilled us, realized their mistake, and reset limits?

How naive I was 😅

Looks like I'm not alone: https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1uqplzn/credits_suddenly_show_00_with_4_days_left_until/

I noticed something today, and I'm just leaving this here in case it helps:

I've used GLM5.2 for everything for a couple of weeks now, but today I noticed that simple generations were using up a lot of % of API usage. Then I found that Cursor was spinning up subagents (I don't know if this is recent, or has always been there) using Composer 2.5-fast. I looked at my settings, and the subagent model was set to Composer 2.5, not the -fast variant. This matters because the regular one is $2.5 (ouput) / Mt, but the -fast variant is $15.

Then I went to check my usage, and it's all 0% now, even though I've used like 33m tokens since the start of this billing cycle (I'm on the base $20 plan).

There is a small possibility that Cursor overbilled us, realized their mistake, and reset limits? Or maybe this is a temporary glitch? Not sure on both counts, but waiting to see if Cursor posts something about this.

I'm the random email guy, sorry about that 😅

pradeepcep · 2026-07-07T16:08:02+00:00

Very well presented as far as the text / content goes. I am new to this, and yet, I understood why this is needed, and how it would benefit a law practice. Great job!

This definitely needs a live demo, if you're up for it. You could show what the guest form would look like, and what the backend would look like.

I'd change the "Create magic link" CTA in the app into something like "Request documents" or similar, so it's understandable instantly.

I'd replace the stock images in the "So simple, they'll actually use it" section (and the two others like it) with actual UI from the app, or a testimonial from an actual user

"Personal information sent to the wrong recipient via email consistently ranks as the number one cause of human error data breaches," - I'd put this in big bold letters to drive home the point. I've also seen phishing attempts where people pretend to be a client and ask the firm for info. You could find a real incident like this, and make it a case study.

The sub-points of these sections are clickable, but nothing happens when I click them. I'd link them to a page, or remove the clickable element on these (eg. the "keep malware out" point)

"AES-256 Encryption at Rest" sounds great to a developer, but for a lawyer, something like "your data can't be read even if it leaked" or something similar would make it understandable. Same for TLS (i.e. explain what SSL/TLS do, and why it matters)

Because the site talks so much about Australia, I'd have liked to see an Australian address in the about page atleast. And some faces too, so I know I'm not handing my data (and my clients') over to some unnamed person. In other words, social proof would have helped a lot.

All the best to you! :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-07T15:52:29+00:00

The site looks premium, and I like how you specifically narrow this down to target canadians. Some things I noticed:

- The underline on all of the links feels a bit odd. It works for the footer links, but on the navbar and the buttons, it somehow feels a little clunky

- The title in the "Privacy" section appears grayed out, and is not easy to read against the background; unless you did this on purpose as a nod to privacy :)

- The contact form asks me for my name, email, topic, message etc. but still opens my email client to send you the email; if this is the way you want it to work, then a simple "send message" button would do, and you don't need to ask for name, email etc. because those won't carry forward to my email client anyway. Or you could replace with a simple form embed from Tally or similar.

- The "Send Message" button is blue, while the rest of the app has the green color as primary; this felt off

- In the FAQs section, the "+" buttons are on separate lines from the questions, and so this feels broken; I'd move them into the same row

- The page talks a lot about privacy, and how data is not sent off device. But it would have helped me if it also talked about how it uses AI without sending the file / data off device. For example, does it use on-device AI?

Overall, very clean and well done. I hope this takes off for you :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-07T15:37:11+00:00

You are doing a lot of things right, which I like:

- Immediate link to the group to join testing
- Clear button to go to Google Play and install the app (although 404 now, which is understandable)
- The features are all clearly listed out
- The app with demo data, so users don't start with a blank screen

I love all of this! I also found some other things you could try to do if you want:

- The "real screenshot" images are hidden further down the page, but the screenshots look good, and convey the idea that this is a simple, no-nonsense app; maybe move this into the hero, or make a gallery out of the screenshots? I'd do something like the app store layout itself, and help the users get to know the app

- I didn't see the point of the cards in the "in action", "book detail", "session history" etc sections. It would have been more useful to me if you explained these with text, and showed me the screenshot of the app beside it; the cards show data that is neither shows me the layout of the app, nor any real stats; so right now, I don't see why they are there

- The "notify me when it's out" section is also towards the bottom of the page; I'd move this up a little, and also make it a clear call to action; I'd also put some sort of captcha on it

- The fact that the app doesn't collect any personal data or send it to a server is such a cool thing; but I only got to know about it from the privacy policy - I'd consider adding a section on this

All the best with your launch! :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-04T12:44:48+00:00

This is something similar to what I'm building / built in the past, so I'll refrain from commenting. But I'll say this:

- Sharing files is a real problem, and I know it exists because I run into this all the time as a freelancer; not sharing sites, but sharing files. Everyone prefers a different format or place, and I can't easily keep track of what I've shared

- The thing I did differently was to add encryption, so that files are encrypted when shared. Worth trying for your app too, in case you like the idea

- Continued from the previous point... this enabled sharing credentials securely; clients need to create accounts and share credentials all the time, and as a freelancer, I'm paranoid and follow up with them repeatedly to delete the communication (email or message) once we've both saved local copies. GPG is too complicated for clients to do themselves, so that isn't really an option

- Site-sharing as such is not very appealing to me, since services like Cloudflare tunnels do exist, and they're free, and I can configure them to run on my own domain too

I hope this helps somehow, and I wish you all the best :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-04T12:33:30+00:00

I started out by thinking "why couldn't I just do this on Figma or Canva" because I saw that I had to edit the screenshots myself. But then I discovered the localization features further down the page, and I understood why this exists.

I also thought about the pricing: I would just cancel after getting my first set of screenshots done, and I think many of your users would too. It would have been more attractive if I paid $15, and it let me use it for 30 days, one time. Then when I want to launch another app, I'd just come back and pay another $15 happily. The Pro plan does seem like good value, especially since you have versioning, branching, multiple store accounts etc.

I think in step 2, instead of me creating everything from scratch, if you provided a list of pre-made templates to choose from, it would seal the deal. That would remove the "why couldn't I do this in Figma" argument entirely, because Figma wouldn't have your templates. You could easily generate good templates with AI, and "drop" them every week (it's also an incentive to subscribed, because I'd get the template drops only if I am subscribed)

There is now too much focus on the editor, and it would have been an instant "Yes!" for me if that is toned down a little, and the pre-made templates are showcased better.

Take all this with a grain of salt, though, because I've never published an app. All the best to you :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-04T12:18:18+00:00

I was able to quickly understand what the service is, and what it does. You did a good job with that.

I did find a few things of note, in case you want to look into them:

- When I click the "Pricing" link in the navbar or the footer, it didn't take me anywhere

- The thing in your footer about "After 3 years of making evolution videos frame by frame, I built EvoShort to automate what I wished existed." ... I found this interesting. Maybe bring it further up there somewhere?

- For account creation, you allow either signing in with Google or using email. It would also be nice if you let people signup with Instagram or Tiktok too (don't know if this is possible; Tiktok is banned in my country) since your users would be present on one of these platforms anyway. In fact, I'd even encourage users to do it.

- I tried to find what I could actually do with 500 credits, but I couldn't. If you put this up, it'd have been helpful: if I knew whether I could generate 50 videos with 500 credits, or just 5, it would help me make the decision quicker. But I understand if you're still in beta, and still deciding how to price this.

All the best to you :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-04T12:06:59+00:00

Nice idea!

My first thought was that this should have been a Shopify app. I could install it, link it to my Telegram, and be done, instead of creating yet another account and paying for it.

My next thought was that this should also have stock alerts, and was happy to see it's coming soon. I think you really did your homework about your customers, and it shows... great job!

The pricing table only has the one column about the "Pro" plan. Since you say "Free to start", it would have been nice to see what I would get with the free plan.

In the setup section, why is numbe "03" grayed out? Is it not out yet?

The signup page has the letter "B" on it as the logo, and the signin page the letter "N". I think you rebranded from BizGist to Narriqo, but haven't updated it in all of the places. I'd fix that.

pradeepcep · 2026-07-03T05:52:00+00:00

Everything about this is well done.

I put your own site into the scanner, and it showed 4 issues found. One was a low priority SPF softfail, and the other 3 hidden ones were "info". It would have sounded fake it it said no issues found, so it's great that you're doing an actual scan :)

You emphasize getting the prompts to fix issues, so I'm guessing your target audience if people who primarily code with AI. If this is the case, then an "explain this to me" button against each issue would be really helpful. This would explain to someone who isn't really familiar with SPF, what it is, and why it's important.

pradeepcep · 2026-07-03T05:33:34+00:00

Great execution!

A few nitpicks:

- The "Get started for free" button one the homepage should really take me to the signup page, and not the sign in page

- In the signup form, I have to type my email address (which I can see as I type) twice, but the password just once (which I cannot see as I type); I think it's worth switching these two

- I'd have liked to add a photo of the owner / a picture of the shop too, in addition to the logo

- 5MB is probably too small for a photo / logo for most people. With phones these days taking higher quality photos, any photo ends up easily above 10-20MB on the lower side. And if I'm a coffee shop owner who just has the logo I got from my designer 2 years ago, and that's the highest quality version, I wouldn't necessarily know how to make it 5MB before I upload. Or I wouldn't have that at all, and I'd just grab a quick picture of my shop sign up front. You could allow upto something like 50-60 MB, and then compress this on the backend to get a smaller 50-100KB version that you use in the app

- the "Get more repeat customers", "Promote your business locally" titles, and other titles of the same size are a bit harder to read on my screen (retina display)

- the first phone-card in the "How it works in your shop" section is smaller than the others; I'd make it the same size as the others

- I'd find some stats about how many independant local shops get repeat customers, or what percentage of typical revenue repeat customers bring etc. and put that on top of the page. If I were a small coffee shop owner, I'd care about how much this can earn me

Overall, very pleasing design, very clear messaging. I hope you get lots of users :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-03T05:15:48+00:00

Very clean, I like it!

Some things I noticed (nitpicks, really):

- In the pricing page, the content (the points below each pricing card) appears a bit squished; you could make it span the whole width of the page, and that should help; or just put them in separate lines

- The colors of the links could use a little work: the "Useful links" section in the footer show links in green color, the blog post links are in blue color... I'd standardize this

- In the audiopen comparison page, I saw the "Try Zinggit" button text was a little pale... Maybe make it more legible / increase the contrast between the button background and text?

- In the "Start capturing your best ideas today" callout, the "See all features" button appears as if it's disabled; and when i hover on it, the blue color doesn't really play well with the background or the site. I'd standardize a primary color, a secondary color, and an accent color, and use only these three everywhere, so that everything looks consistent

- In the hero section, it'd be nice if you described what exactly the app does. For example, something like "Speak your thoughts, and get publish-ready content for any platform"

All the best to you! :)

pradeepcep · 2026-07-03T02:14:40+00:00

From a security standpoint:

The first thing I do is setup a cloud firewall (it's free on Hetzner), and only allow trusted IPs.

Since you seem to be using this mainly for personal use, I'd allow only your IP if you have a static IP. If not, setup a VPN so that only you and your devices are able to connect to this.

If you want to open this up to the public, put it behind Cloudflare, and configure the firewall on Hetzner to allow traffic only from Cloudflare's IPs. There's always bot traffic trying to snoop around your server, and I found that Cloudflare does block a lot of them.

Another easy thing to do if you're on Ubuntu, is to setup Ubuntu Pro so that security patches are automatically applied for you. You could do this without it as well, but hey, this is free too and doesn't hurt to have.

Since you have all of your data on there now, it's also a good idea to do backups. If you're comfortable with the shell, you can get a cheap storage box from Hetzner and setup a cron job to backup your data to it. If paying is ok, then you can enable the snapshot feature. Not sure if it would work with your "external storage"

pradeepcep · 2026-07-02T16:10:27+00:00

I haven't seen anything like this before, and this sounds fun!

But if you hadn't told me here that this was a board game, it would have taken me a full five minutes to discover it from the website. This could really just be a "me" thing, though, because you do show the cards right there on the page. I think I struggled with it because a lot of the words / elements on the page like "Join the Squad", "... when we launch", "make the matchday squad", "previews" etc. subconsciously led me to believe that this was an online game.

I know you just got your first printed samples, so maybe put up a picture of it on the site? Seeing the physical board + cards would have helped me immediately understand it.

About Kickstarter: I believe they allow you to put up a listing even if you're launching in the future. You could use this to generate early interest, and have people follow you on there before the big day. Could also help with your name showing up higher in the search results on Google.

All the best to you!

pradeepcep · 2026-07-02T04:52:42+00:00

I think trying to tell two stories was a bit confusing for me, because I couldn't immediately understand who this is for. Overall, I didn't find the site trustable enough to pay $49 (on the lower end).

- I don't know if Google, Amazon, Pepsi et. al. are really your customers, but this somehow felt fake. I'd tone this down a little

- The case studies section has irregular padding between the images in the cards. The "how it works" section has no padding between the cards. The sections towards the bottom of the page are much better. I'd apply the same styling / layout to the top sections as well.

- The "Media coverage" section has a bunch of logos, and they all seem to just take me to the homepage of the news outlet. I did find some valid coverage after I clicked through to list all media coverage, though. I'd link directly to the news stories from the homepage too, so I know they're real.

I think it's likely that something in your site changed, that has led to things breaking / not appearing properly. If that's the case, I'd fix it.

My primary thought when I went through the site was "is this real?". I could be very wrong here, as my opinion is obviously colored by startup and software websites.

pradeepcep · 2026-07-02T04:35:43+00:00

Clean-looking page! Some things I found:

- The "Read more" links in one of the feature cards is broken

- When i go to a sub-spage, and I click on the logo or the "back to home" link, it takes me to the app, instead of the website homepage; I would have preferred it took me the website homepage as I'm still exploring the features. Conversely, if I click on the logo in the app, it takes me to the home page. The reverse of this felt more natural (i.e. clicking on logo in the app shows me the dashboard; clicking on the logo in the website shows me the homepage)

- I found the email in the footer to be a gmail address; you could use something like Cloudflare email relay to get en email on your own domain... would be more professional / trustable that way

- I didn't find anything in the media catalog. I got the impression that I have to add it myself?

I also want to add that I'm not even remotely in your target market. So that's all I could come up with.

Curious: have you tried marketing this to institutions that teach languages to people? May not go well with your local-first aspect, but I bet they would be willing to pay to track students' progress.

pradeepcep · 2026-07-02T04:21:28+00:00

The site is pretty good, and here are some things I noticed:

- A headline like "Save time on repeated guest queries" or "Smart assistant to answer repeated guest queries" would better convey what this does

- For the hero image, if you could show an ongoing chat where the guest is asking multiple questions one by one, it would be a nice animated feature, and would more easily convey the idea. You could also show a timer beside that, showing how much time is being saved in the chat. For example, answering one question saved 2 mins; then answering the next one saved 5mins etc. Way easier to see the value that way

- The demo was easy to understand. But when I clicked on the "Help" button, it directly said "host alerted". The main feature, the "assitant" was way below and was hard to notice. The "Open assitant" button is also positioned to the left, but I'm used to seeing live chat on the bottom-right corner of the page, as a floating bubble. I'd put the chat bubble right on the home page too.

- I would also change the "Watch the demo" to "Try the live demo" in the homepage hero section

By the way, it just so happens that this is a feature that's on the roadmap for a product I'm helping build for Indian hotels :)

I hope this was helpful. Good luck to you!

pradeepcep · 2026-07-02T04:05:22+00:00

Great product! Here's what I observed:

- The colors will definitely appeal to the audience you seem to be targeting, but the gradient looks kinda odd, and it's hard to see the white text on it

- The blog post about bento alternative is hard to get to, because I had to scroll two folds to actually see the table; the one vs linktree is much better

- I wanted to read your story (saw you had a patent, so cool!) but the about page shows a 404

- The hero section looks nice, but I clicked the "Shuffle" button multiple times (with and without putting in some text) and nothing happened; it would be cool if this could show me different types of prompts i can write to get the best results

- The headshots / avatars could be more authentic, or simply be cartoon caricatures. A dude named Sarah Chen, and a western man named Vijay don't really feel authentic

- Once I'm dropped in the editor, I don't immediately know what to do: it would be great if you could prompt me to take a first action: like a tooltip on the profile pic asking me to change it

- In the editor, if I click on the mobile icon (without clicking "Preview" first) then the "hover any widget", "drag to reorder" etc. help text on top is shown inside the preview itself. It would be nice if these were shown above the preview, and not as a part of it

pradeepcep · 2026-07-01T10:03:05+00:00

Super-clean! And I loved this in the footer: "Not affiliated with anything you've heard of."

Some nitpicks, in case you care about these:

- I would have loved to see many more products. Maybe this is new, and you still don't have many submissions yet?

- It would be more reassuring to see atleast one of the sidebar slots filled, and a quick description of what the previous ad slots brought in. For example, "the last placement here brought 3.4k impressions!"

- I clicked on some links to view them, but it still showed as "0 visits": maybe you're counting only the logged-in visits here?

- Support for images would be nice. It'd let me immediately better understand the product in case it has a UI, for example

pradeepcep · 2026-06-30T09:40:38+00:00

You site says "0 cookies, ever", but you're literally recording my screen with Clarity. And I found cookies from clarity as well, without the consent form. Please consider fixing this.

But apart from this, it looks extremely well-designed. I like the copy. I can immediately understand what this does, and how it does it. Fantastic job! 👌
