This is how a feedback page looks like: https://visualtip.com/3c5090a169f6b9e955d3b57b9401497b

I find this sample much more informative than the entire 'How it works' section. You tool is pretty much self explanatory, so skip the text and modals and just show what it is about directly when you enter the site

OK. Thanks for your feedback.

"Browser not Supported" with the latest Chromium version.

And then an insulting "Try a modern, up to date browser".

You should not discriminate by user agent. Do feature detection instead:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=user+agent+vs+feature+detection&t=...

I will look into that. In the meantime I think now it should work.

Yup, it lets me in now.

The world of UX has grown to use and love InVision over the past few years — https://www.invisionapp.com/ — an app that allows the same visual feedback, with far more powerful features.

Have you given it a try before, @jkeat? They tend to market themselves to designers first and foremost.

This is not aimed to become an Invision competitor. There are however people for which Invision is too much and only need a simple way to share and collect a quick feedback one something they've been working on.

Agreed Invision can be way too feature rich. Redpen (https://redpen.io/) does an amazing job of filling that void. They boast tens of thousands of paying users, how are you planning to market based on Invision and Redpen as incumbents?

For now there is this Show HN submission :D If you have any suggestions about how I should approach this I would love to hear them.

Verticalise (I know, I know, give me sh*t for creating jargon...).

Don't go after the generalist approach, focus on a niche where UX or design thinking is a growing area, own the marketing for it, and then you can move to another niche. Perhaps aim at social media agencies looking for creative approval from their clients etc, own a smaller market and grow out from there.

the popup modals nearly made me instantly close it. I don't want to fill in any information till I know what I'm dealing with ( even if it has a skip button ). Just kind of feels rude.

oh, but the actual visual review looks cool!

thanks. the usecase is that you would receive this link from your designer / client - that is why your name is relevant...

> During the private beta period we will only support the Google Chrome browser. Rest assured however, we will open support for other browsers in a couple of weeks.

Come on, Opera 46 is the same as latest Chrome. Fix your UA detection to be feature based not UA name based.

Actually it should have worked. I will look into it. Thanks for bringing that up.

Should be OK now. (Clear your cache if it still doesn't).

Sorry about that

Lame, on Chromium 59, it says "Browser not Supported You're using an web browser we don't support. Try a modern, up to date browser".

No thanks, I like open-source.

You really just have one browser installed?

Thanks for pointing that out. It should work fine now.

The demo looks messy and gave me the idea that the tool itself will get messy if I'm part of a team. It's cool it's collaborative but what else? Would suggest to improve how you demo the tool.

Personally, I liked how the tool solves the problem and the simple design.

Interesting solution, 1. How do you plan to work out with others providing the same solution ? (InVision, RedPen, etc) 2. Suggestion: Allow visitors to experiment quickly to know what tool does, ask for signup later (when user tries to leave)

Reminds me of the now-defunct design feedback site ocean.ink: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ocean

looks nice :D.
