Challenge: Pitch your business idea in 10 words for fewer

Oops, thanks!

Updated it now and should propagate soon.

Thanks for the catch!

Good question! There isn't really one key thing but a lot of small differences: Automated design instead of drag and drop, Very user friendly UI, Built-in analytics, Built-in small blogging platform, Built-in email list collection, Stripe and Zapier integrations, Realtime collaboration, Art library with icons and premium illustrations. There are the old and clunky market leaders with their out-of-date tech and design. Then there are a lot new and beautiful design solutions but without any hosting, good editor, and so on. Landen tries to combine both worlds.

Thanks Gene, took a while to get there. One of the first was "Automated landing page design" then "Generate, build and publish beautiful websites" and now the startup spin.

Bubble lets you build entire web-applications with databases, user management, and lots of dynamic content. Landen is mostly for static marketing websites to show off your product. There are some dynamic add-ons such as the blogging and email lists, but you won't be able to build something more complex with Landen.

Good to see you here.

Normally there is little crossover between IH and Discord, I think IH has an older audience.

Thanks. I had this problem myself on my last startup.

I think that's great feedback. Consider it adopted.

Thanks for the interest! I've built-out tech that allows users to run arbitrary SQL statements safely against a live, isolated database- this means that you can safely select, insert, delete, truncate, create, alter, etc.- without impacting any other users.

The system holds numerous different data sets with a number of questions against each data set. Rather than spending effort with a specific SQL variant, the exercises can be solved using standard SQL.

Thanks for the feedback! It's primarily for learning, but playing/gamification is on the list of nice-to-have features after it's launched. Exercises range from simple to complex.

Anything to increase engagement will help to further the goal of making the world (of people who are interested, anyway) into SQL experts!

That's a good question. The intention is to provide a lot of exercises that are individually fairly quick to complete, so the value is in the ability to do lots of (guided, mentored) practice. This practice is entirely self-directed, so you can move at your own pace. How to fit that into 10 words? I'm not really sure :)

Interesting suggestion. I shall A/B test to see which one works out best.

It's more like an "productivity app that lets you capture tasks super-quickly". But sneakily adding a reminder to send the other person some materials after the meeting, and making it look like you were just checking time, is magic :)

Thanks!

The animations on the landing page, you mean? They weren't really meant to be readable, but to impress. But I see where you're coming from. My plans to remake the LP and the assets are long overdue.

Thanks! I'm definitely planning an iPhone version and even have interviewed some candidates for hire. But I never got around to writing a formal spec for them so that they could start working. Still stuck delivering promised features.

Business model is a simple freemium. Free + subscriptions + one-time purchase option for a limited set of pro features (no cloud ones). No ads. No data mining — in fact the app won't even collect any analytics unless you opt in. Cloud sync is end-to-end encrypted (I do have a backdoor though, but that's solely for compliance).

Thanks! ^^

Thanks!

You're quite right actually, @tacl. Your feedback is appreciated a lot 👍we'll work on the 10-word pitch a bit.

awesome - any improvements let me know?

Nice product idea @igitresethard.

I'd think @Eduardo_uribe's suggested summary edges it though :)

Absolutely, if you just started your SEO and need a tool to help you with the content writing part for SEO, it will definitely be a great help. :)

Yeah, but looking into B2B opportunities as well

Great to hear! Let me know what you think about it after using it

Hi again. I can edit hunter.io with no problem please can you check it here:

But agree we need to improve still.

Working on it. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback; I see your point and will certainly look into a solution!

Yes, there are self-hosted solutions and even free open-source packages available. But you get what you pay for. There are technical nuances involved that aren't cheap (though some people will be fine getting the 80/20 version with an open source package). Even though we're one of the more affordable solutions out there, that's not how we position ourselves and not the type of customer we're going for. It's a race to the bottom and hard to compete on price as an indiehacker.

:-D

@goforstroll there's a main use case that is being addressed right now, which is my own, and then several others that I might try to tackle later on if I find there's interest: https://github.com/emwalker/digraph/wiki. Let me know if you have any thoughts. There's additional information here as well: https://blog.digraph.app/2019-06-07-links-to-review-section-added.html

The expenses with it are very low so the few paying companies I have on board make it "ramen profitable". The userbase has been growing every month which is encouraging!

thanks! i'd love some feedback if you have a use for it at all!

Thank you for taking the time to check and for your feedback!

I'm definitely working on getting that changed for sure! I'm in the middle of revamping the landing page adding more specificity to it and making it make more descriptive, my messaging at the moment needs some work!

I'm actually about to create a discussion around this and more about the product, I'd love to have you join in on Newny! Let me know if you want to take part, I'll send you the invite link :)

Currently in private beta. Request access and I'll send you a sign up code. Thanks for the support!

Yes, there are dime of dozen of tools provide integrations for other social medias. I want to make it for the one and keep it super simple. Can say, I'm targeting customers:)
