Show HN: What do you guys think of our beta landing page?
diglig.com
diglig.com
1. "We manage your events...": Ok, so it helps me plan parties and meet-ups and stuff? Facebook, Twitter, Gmail icons: Right, these must be how I can manage invitations and attendance.
2. "Get smart and precise[d] recommendations...": Recommendations for what? Similar meet-ups I can attend? But I thought it's for planning the event, so maybe venues and catering?
3. "We can help you complete our recommendations...": That doesn't tell me anything. I still think it's like Anyvite.
Then I read the lower blurb (which is better):
"Diglig is a context-aware, virtual personal assistant and do engine."
Does "do engine" mean anything to anyone else? I have no idea.
"Diglig manages your events at one centralized location and anticipates which tasks you’ll need to complete before your next event."
My idea from before was reinforced: I have tasks like "book venue", "order catering", "create seating chart", and you'll help me with those.
"Diglig then assists you in doing our recommendations, whether it is booking a flight & hotel for your next meeting, making a dinner reservations or getting a gift for that special someone."
Hmm. This is the first time I feel like it's not about planning a single event. So maybe it's attaching tasks to the events in my calendar. Can I suggest you use a word like "appointment", because "event" sounds large and once-off.
"At Diglig we believe that everyone should have a virtual assistant to which they can delegate their tasks."
Oh, I can delegate my tasks. So now it sounds like not just an app, but a service with real people as assistants (where "virtual" means "not in person", NOT "digital"). But I have no idea if this interpretation is correct, as it's hard to get a consistent description of what you're trying to do.
So what DO you do? Then I can help with some wording, if you like.
I don't get any mental image that connects your service to my life and why it could make it awesome. It's missing an "aha - this would've been great last week when X happened" or "I could use this in two weeks when Y".
Too much explanation, not enough examples. Better yet, some images or screenshots.
Also, not a big fan of the custom "social bookmarking" icons in the top right - I think most people will completely miss them.
The 'Yes,' 'You,' 'Can' sections are a bit disjointed. I didn't understand that it was supposed to be a phrase. I took it as blocks of information.
Also, do you take my Events from different services (i.e. Google Calendar, iCal, Outlook)? What do the different service icons mean under 'You'?
Perhaps state in bold words what you state at the end of your page: 'We believe that everyone should have a virtual assistant to which they can delegate their tasks.'
Bottom line- Unless you asked me to review- In real life i would not stayed their more then few seconds.
Good luck Guys
We will update the landing page soon.
*note: I know there are few things broken but we are working on fixing them.
Additionally, personally I prefer social media logo's to be their original logo's so they stand out more from you design.
On the whole, I don't really like the blue color in combination with the grey/white elements, it looks kinda 2004ish or something. Lastly, I think the email signup is below the fold for 1280 resolutions, you might wanna make sure it is visible immediately for those resolutions as well.
The "Events" refers to your calendar events and tasks from google tasks or any social media (Facebook events, Twitter) tools user might use on daily basis.
Thanks,
