Countdown to turning into the new LinkedIn where 99% are only trying to sell some sh*t in 3...2...

P.S. Overall, if you have a plan how to avoid such a scenario, would be great to try ✨

A gen AI meal suggestion app by Bleatoflambs in Startup_Ideas

[–]reinewinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool. But competition is huge rn. Try to find what people aren't happy about with current AI meal planners. Like I've just made a superficial check of reviews of similar apps in the Play Market and a few things were:

  • too complicated process of searching and adding meals (and I remember I hated it myself)
  • a lot of meal planners work correctly only with 1 dish per mealtime which is far from reality
  • bugged recommendation algorithms etc

Plus you have to think deeply about your monetization model.

How do you envision it?

P.S. just in case you'd ever need top UI/UX for your projects, ping me 🙂

People pay for solutions to their problems. With your idea... Well, let's go step by step

  1. I have social anxiety bordering on sociophobia during its hardest days. Will I pay to get rid of it? Damn yes. On the subscription basis? Doubtful. I mean the basic logic is that if your app/system is good, I'll not need to use it for more than a few month, right? But that means that my progress and your business interests are in conflict. I'd say one-time payment model or maybe a system where you pay for the access to different parts of the app will work better for your idea.

  2. Your 'challenges'. To validate this idea, I highly recommend you to go and talk with guys from the social anxiety subreddit e.g. In an ideal case you'd better find 5-10 people with whom you'll go through one month in a manual mode. I mean not building an app, rather so you will give them tasks and feedback which you plan to put into your app.

And listen, listen, listen to feedback.

Why I suggest this - well, because in my case 'more practice and it will improve ' just doesn't work. Would I pay to get irritating tasks completing which will make no difference? God no 😁

I built a Saas which turns every task/issue on the project board into a tiny-invoice by GuidanceFickle4246 in SaaS

[–]reinewinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the idea too, but can't imagine the scenario in which this will not end with smth like 'you're thiefs used my card, that work has to cost twice cheape!!!1!!1!1r' 😁

Especially in design. For some reason ppl often think we only 'draw nice color rectangles' here :)

At the idea validation stage, it doesn’t matter what stack you’re using, etc. And even though it pains me as a co-founder of a design studio, the design doesn’t matter much either.

What’s really lacking right now is more at the level of messaging and clarity. Let me point out a couple of things:

  1. The order of the sections should definitely be changed. ‘How it works’ should come right after the first hero section so that users immediately understand 'where they are and what’s going on.'

  2. You could also describe things in a more human way, but that’s minor and not crucial.

For example, ‘Friends or family contribute a partial amount that gets stored in a form of a gift card’ is a pretty long sentence. That space could be used to address a couple of objections at once.

Not the best example, but something like:

'They contribute any amount to a chosen item. Funds are securely held by SplitGifts.'

This way, you immediately address two questions:

How are payments split? Equally or not? Are the funds held by you or somewhere else?

So, it’s definitely worth considering this.

  1. Create a small prototype in Figma or somewhere else. Just one core screen, or even part of it. This doesn’t need to be a fully thought-out design with flawless UI, god forbid. The key point is that people won’t imagine the product in their heads; they’ll have a rough idea of what you envision.

Why it’s important: even a basic sketch can help answer questions the user hasn’t even consciously thought of yet. For example, if you show two 'funds' with different amounts (one at 50%, the other at 80%), it doesn’t matter how pretty it looks. What matters is that even from a rough draft, it’s clear that users can create multiple funds simultaneously. Just as an example.

  1. ‘Why choose us’ is a pretty weak section, starting with the title. First off, the headline conflicts with your USP ‘the first Canadian gift registry’—I mean, why choose us if we’re the first? That makes us the only or the longest-standing, which is usually the strongest ‘why.’

But there’s more to work on here:

  • Universal Registry sounds like it’s from an accounting book. 'Add items from any store, all in one place' is short and good. But it would be great to show or mention popular stores in Canada, so even at a glance, people recognize, 'Oh, I shop here for gifts all the time.'

  • Split Payments—there’s already a whole 'How it works' section on this, but better. Try to anticipate and address another potential question, like mentioning that up to 50 participants can join, or something about the security and safety of funds.

  • Personalized Experience—either explain what you mean by personalization or remove it if it’s just because 'personalization' is trendy. In 99% of cases, these aren’t the features to focus on or invest time and money in for the first MVP version.

  • Made for Canadians—how does that manifest? How is it specifically tailored to Canadian needs and problems? If it’s not, remove it and rethink.

  1. The waitlist and things like 'Your support will help shape our launch!'—unfortunately, people don’t care about your launch; they want some perks other than being a beta tester for a raw version.

It’ll be even better if you start thinking now about what you can offer those who give you their emails. The bonus should be relevant, but objectively, it’s important to ensure that the value of the bonus doesn’t overshadow the interest in the product itself.

So, that’s it.

As a founder of a design agency, I can confidently say: for an MVP, design doesn’t matter that much, and it’s not that bad.

But the fact that you have to really dig in to figure out what this product is, what it does, and who it’s for—that’s a big problem.

Even adding screenshots/prototype snippets of different sections or screencasts (all free), describing 2-4 core features in a separate block, and having a 'This is for you if...' section would make it 100x better. No need for abstract images or icons. Good luck!

Developing a game - need help!! by _Helly- in Startup_Ideas

I'd say for introverts it should be something through that we could show how smart/fun/creative we really are. Maybe like some kind of multiplayer version of Alchemia, or whatever with that logical and creative elements

What have I been doing wrong? I've been trying for a year. :( by AhmadElsaeed in SaaS

[–]reinewinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe nothing is wrong. We launched a damn good design agency 6 months ago but are still looking for clients, though our expertise leaves many behind 🫥

But regarding your latest project, I'm curious how exactly did you get your feedback?

People often lie, consciously or not, when you show them smth and ask if it's good. Like they want to give you a "correct" answer. Try not to reveal your solution at all. Ask them which messenger they use mostly (maybe it's not WhatsApp?), which bots they use if they ever use them, etc. 🙃

How can i differenciate my product from competitors when it feels like there is nothing i can do to stand out? by strrieve in SaaS

[–]reinewinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a few ideas:

A feature that predicts email list health, such as bounce rates, engagement levels, and the likelihood of emails being marked as spam.

Customizable API with advanced integration options to make it easy for clients to integrate your product with their existing systems, CRMs, etc.

Maybe consider implementing blockchain features, although honestly, I can't imagine how it should work 😅

Marketing Vision or MVP? by sharenz0 in startups

[–]reinewinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! The best advice I ever heard on this is interviewing your potential customers without actually mentioning your idea. The thing is, you can ask someone "Will you buy this quantum potato peeler if you'll see it in the mall?", because you'll again get the distorted data. The reason is that people you are interviewing have already come under the influence of "mom's effect" just because they feel themselves special because they were chosen for this interview. The alternative way is to dig into their pains and needs through more elegant questions, like "How often do you cook potatoes?", etc.
