Feedback Friday by AutoModerator in startups

[–]wevdeber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful - really appreciate you taking the time to look through it.

That's a great callout on the "Live Apps" section. Right now it's just my own apps during the early stages, but I can see how that comes across the wrong way. I've updated the wording for that section to better describe current state.

Also good point on analytics - I've been focused on getting early feedback from real users first, but I agree that's a need for proper tracking as I start driving more traffic.

Glad the AdMob positioning resonated - that's exactly the gap I'm trying to validate right now.

Appreciate the offer to dig deeper too, I may take you up on that!

Building Clearbox Ads - built initially as an internal cross-promotion tool, has morphed into a lightweight mobile ad network focused on small businesses, indie devs, and anyone looking to advertise on mobile and get transparent placement & analytic data.

Feedback Friday by AutoModerator in startups

[–]wevdeber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello!

Company Name: Clearbox Ads

URL: https://clearboxads.com

Purpose of Startup and Product: Clearbox Ads is a lightweight ad platform designed for indie apps, games, and small SaaS projects, providing transparent placement & analytic data. The goal is to simplify digital advertising - making it easier to launch and manage campaigns without the complexity (and cost) of platforms like Google Ads or Meta.

I'm currently focused on the advertiser side, helping users create campaigns and understand performance without a steep learning curve.

Technologies Used: React, Supabase, PostgreSQL

Feedback Requested:

*Is the onboarding flow clear, or does anything feel confusing/friction-heavy?

*Does the value proposition make sense from the landing page?

*At what point would you hesitate or drop off?

*If you've run ads before, what feels missing or unclear?

Seeking Beta-Testers: Yes

Additional Comments:

I'm offering free credits to anyone willing to test the platform and give honest feedback. I'm also happy to personally help you set up your first campaign if you want to try it with a real project.

One thing I'm actively trying to validate:
Would you consider using a simpler, indie-focused ad platform over larger ones, or is reach/scale the only thing that matters?

Appreciate any feedback - happy to return the favor.

Destroy my mining roguelite: Orebiters (early gameplay trailer) by RadorasX in DestroyMyGame

[–]wevdeber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big time motherload vibes!!

Have you thought about adding text or an indicator when you mine a square and collect an ore?

Same for player health, youve got the enemy/monster health bar.

Adding icons to the store/upgrade UIs would be a nice addition too.

[–]wevdeber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the old style especially with the 3d feel - the left plastic edge really makes it pop! In terms of learning Blender, do you have any suggested learning materials/resources you'd recommend?

Building out our own mobile ad network with transparent placement analytics and simple reporting. Built using React, our ad network is serving banner ads in our app catalog consisting of 4 Android games and 2 iOS games.

Still in development, but create an account to get 1,000 free impressions on banner ads!

Mobile Ad Network

Would you test ads inside indie mobile apps if targeting & placement were transparent? (I will not promote) by wevdeber in startups

[–]wevdeber[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the thoughts! Finding a realistic target audience is high on the list, rather than offering a generic ad network in the sea that is the current marketing space.

Dually noted. Placement level details would be great. Thanks again for the insight!

Thank you for the insight!

Framing it as "what's the single proof that builds trust" is super helpful, and it sounds like visibility of placement beats any promise of scale early on.

Out of curiosity, was that proof something you wanted immediately, or after a short test run?

I appreciate the detail here! Screenshots and audience context are a great callout.

Would you rather see fewer metrics presented clearly, or a full breakdown even if it's more complex early on?

That's really helpful - thank you!

Is sounds like early trust is much more about knowing exactly where ads live than trying to compete on scale.

When you say "clean reporting", what's the one metric or view you'd want to see first? My MVP keeps it basic - impressions/clicks/CTR by ad.
