m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
It addresses the same issue but with a completely different approach.

Thanks for the perspective. I will keep at it. Cheers

Cool, thanks. That is helpful.

1- Let everyone involved in the site creation (Clients, PM, devs ) communicate right on the live site by using "sticky note" 2- It can't be use on a public site without major refactor 3- Yes it will. I have a "Mirror" feature plan so that you can even mirror issue from "stage" site to you dev 4- Still unknown yet. Probably will have a free plan with some restriction, but the "small agency" tier would be around 29/mo

Yes, unfortunately a "public" version of the widget would mean a serious refactor (which is btw on the list of potential pivots).

Thanks, as mentioned above I am trying this but not getting so much success with it so far. I probably need to crunch bigger numbers to get significant results.

I did do send them personalised email - in which I actually poured way to much time - and I am usually getting or not answers or "I'll use it soon" type of answers. " Will continue putting more energy down that path tho. Thanks.

Gotcha. Thanks for that. Apparently my landing page is due for a re-design asap..
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
That is strange. There should a sample project called "tutorial project" right on the page you land on after your first registration. Did you try to give the page a refresh ?
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Thanks. I know the landing page could be a lot better tho, but I do think that people with the pain the address do get how Nota could help out form the landing page.

Yep it'll work on static sites just as well.

Well I thought about that. Tho I am getting spontaneous feedback from people telling they love the app. Actually the few I've asked feedback to, more often than not don't answer..

I am Ok with dismissing the idea or pivoting if I have too, but I can't do that without understanding what went wrong.

I guess the smallest version of it is: sticky notes on a live website to ease the web developer / client feedback exchange process.
m4nu··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
Thanks for that. This landing page can sure be optimised quite a bit. Though as today the main problem is not so much converting users from landing page to sign-up but rather getting current beta users (that do not complain in any sort about the app) to actually try it in they day to day workflow. I am striving for feedback, and if no one use the app I can't get any.

My target market is small (2~10 employees) web agencies. I worked for such companies and build that app to address the pains they have with the feedback loop. So far I have mostly been doing cold mailing to very targeted market and made some promotion through listing site (betalist, reddit). I had about 300 users out of this. The type of feedback I got so far sounds like: "Great app will save me lot of time!!" yet after 1 month since the launch I have 2 "active" users.

No trickery intended here, just seemed to be the best way to go about it.
