I've sent an email to Elastic Email. Thanks for the heads up.

Appreciate your feedback. We are constantly updating and improving it.

Heh, thanks! We need a lot of it and still gotta work hard. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for your feedback. We will talk about the customer form and will adjust accordingly.

Your latest addition should be displayed at the top of the list. Is it not? Also, were you redirect to quote details page after creating it?

Thanks for your comment. It's possible to sign up and start using it by simply entering your email. I do plan to add 3rd party logins though.

Yeah, agreed. We don't want to give that impression.

Not sure what that is but if you're talking about the colors on the landing page, a designer friend of mine made the logo and chose the colors. I just used them. Don't know if he knows about Cividis.

If you're talking about the colors in the app, they are the default color palette of Tailwind CSS. Most components are also exactly copied from Tailwind UI examples.

Thanks Mike! We will do our best and more.

Just saw it and deployed a fix. Thanks so much for helping out.

Ah, don't even know how I missed that. Should be fixed now. I appreciate the heads up.

Ahh, okay, I see. I think I can implement subtotals easily. Gotta check with my partner first though.

I'm aware of the tax calculation problems. It's a somewhat fragile topic, at least in my country. It's on my list and I'll work on it soon. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh, damn. Thanks for the heads up. I don't know why Google thinks Elastic Email is suspicious. They have been in business for years. I'll take a look though.

Thanks a ton for the detailed feedback. You are right about all of the feature expectations. This app is a product of 2-nights worth of work. We'll keep on progressing it further.

- Active/passive filters mean "still ongoing offers" and "responded offers" but I see why that might not be obvious.

- Can you elaborate that subtotal part? I'm not sure what you mean.

- We are thinking of payment processing, but that's not an MVP-level feature in my mind, so that feature needs to wait a little.

Haha sorry to confuse you. We'll work on the keywords.

Gonna replace the screenshot with a video. I'm a little overwhelmed by the attention right now haha.

Fair. We'll update the pricing section with some numbers tomorrow.

Whoa, that's whole another perspective. I've never thought of making it configurable. Adding that to the roadmap. Thanks!

Okay, let's see.

- Basically a lot of CRMs handle the offer/quote stuff. Some have partial support, some have more functionality then we do.

- There is quoter[dot]com as a direct competitor. I'm not sure how well they do. My co-founder is more aware of this topic.

- There are some old desktop softwares doing the same thing offline. I don't think users of these would convert much to online solutions.

- And of course there are users that do everything manually. Keeping the records in an Excel file and exporting Word documents as PDFs to email to clients.

Edit: sorry about the formatting. I'm exhausted.

Thanks for taking your time and the compliments. It means a lot!

1- The app is like in alpha/beta stage right now. I planned to put currencies in the database but it was too much work for an MVP so I literally typed them into the template lol. Which currency do you need? I can add it manually now and be sure to have it in the database when I make the transition.

2- Agreed. Number inputs are funky. Tried to have custom Javascript for the minimal asset size but I didn't do well. I'll use some 3rd party plugin for those.

3- Noted. One question though. Why do you type 0.09 in a percentage field? Is it just a test or do you really have 0.09% (9 in ten thousand) tax rate?

Oh god. Please keep 'em coming. These are all great feedback.

To be honest we, two cofounders, didn't spend days to decide on the words. We both are not native speakers. Google'd some keywords, took a look at dictionary websites and decided quotation was fine. We will do further research on that. Would "offer" work in this context?

We are decided on targeting freelancers and businesses that sell services, like software or advertisement agencies. But to be fair anyone doing business negotiations via sending an offer to a client could possibly use the app. Right now the app is pretty basic as this is a product of 2-nights worth of time and we only went live this week.

"Stop wasting time". Noted.

Again, if you have any more feedback, I'd really appreciate it. You can also contact me on Twitter if you'd prefer. My username is hkanaktas.

Thanks a lot! I look forward to your feedbacks on the product itself as well.

Thanks a lot for the ideas, too. If you want to hear about the progress you can simply just register (we'll probably send a weekly mail) or follow me (@hkanaktas) or Dytto's account (@dyttoco) on Twitter.

Thanks! To be honest this isn't even a launch lol. I was just trying to find a few potential customers and ask for feedback. Now I have a lot of potential customers, and a lot of conversations to make.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. It seriously means a lot to me that people take their time to check out something I built and say what they think about it.

The landing page is literally 5 days old. I am constantly tweaking it with new ideas and I will definitely apply your feedback. I was thinking of a speed-up video to show various pages.

API sounds so good. I was thinking of Zapier integration but why not both, right?

Thanks a lot!

I'm aware that owning a business means much more work and I'm willing to put in the necessary effort. Maybe I will go nomadic, work in part of the day and travel in the remaining hours. Possibilities are endless.

Thanks for checking it out!

I was working on the preview button before my server crashed from the extreme traffic :D I will deploy it soon.

About the pricing, we don't have set in stone amount right now but we will be nice to our early-adopters, I promise!

Okay, it's back on. I upgraded to a bigger box. Phew, this is exhilarating.

The server is down, please have mercy lol

I feel the same haha

I have already built a middle page to preview before submitting, and will be deploying it in a few hours. Be sure to check back again tomorrow! :)

Backend is built with Laravel 7 and PostgreSQL. UI is put together using Tailwind CSS and some Alpine.js for simple interactions.

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out my first product. If you have any questions or comments, you can post them here, or you can find me on Twitter as @hkanaktas. I appreciate any feedback.
