Show HN: Help beta test our new app

12 points by nibo 13 years ago | 11 comments

We're building a web-app for designers to save images, crops and tabs in private boards and share them with clients and team. We would love to get your feedback early on. How is the pricing? Would you pay for it? What would you like to see? http://board.creonomy.com/

Thanks!

The major issue:

* Not being able to see what you're buying before you register. I should be able to interact with an example feed, without registering. Or at least see screenshots of what a feed will look like.

More minor issues:

* Website loads slowly. Consider using nginx or AWS for static pages.

* Orange is a little overused on the front page, it's a bit ugly.

* Orange highlights for links on top bar are a little too dark for the background.

* "Whether you are a Dribbbler, a Swiss Miss addict or Yves Béhar fan" -- I don't understand what's being referenced; I'm not a coffee drinker.

Thanks csense. We had a lot of conversation about the colors. What colors would you use instead of orange for the pricing&sign-up button? Also: do you understand what the product does based on homepage icons?

While I agree with the rest of your points, anyone in their target demographic will understand those last references.

Thanks...Are you a designer?

I like the design. Minor grammar quibbles. Some of these tag lines read kind of oddly:

>You have 30 days free trial

I'm not sure if this is specific to American English (I notice you're based in Milan), but generally the days are singular when it's modifying a noun (e.g: "A 30 day free trial", not "A 30 days free trial")

>No spam nor general mess with your data. Ever.

"General mess with your data" sounds kind of odd.

Also, kind of funny that you mention you're based in Milan but when I subscribe to your mailing list the address for the company is in London.

Thanks a lot. Really helpful!

Small suggestion: On the "Pricing & Sign-Up" page maybe emphasize free by making it all caps of bold. >Forever free For some reason this feels weird to me. Maybe switch it up to make it "FREE Forever".

hi tinko12, we do Cage and it's really cool. However they focus much more on collaboration. Board is browser extension designed to help you save images in a pinterest-like way but with private boards.
