Ask HN: Please review our product Konotor

10 pointscinbun89 comments

Hi Everyone,

We'd like your thoughts on a project of ours that is in BETA at the moment.

http://konotor.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

What does it do ? Konotor is a product that helps you collect feedback from your mobile users and engage with them.

Why does it help ? It gives you a private channel to engage with your users, conduct surveys and helps avoid 1-star ratings on the app store.

How do I get in on it ? Leave your email on our site to participate in the BETA. As a `thank you` we'll give you the product for free for 3 months.

As excited as we are in making this product, we're even more excited handing it over to you. Please let us know what you think. Thank you for your time.

I like your landing page. It's immediately clear to me what is the value proposition is of your product: it helps me, the developer, to engage with my users, and catch negative feedback before it hits the apps store.

But how do I integrate it with my existing apps? Is it an SDK or a code snippet that I need to drop into my code? As a developer I want to see how easy it actually is.

Finally, feature request :) Google maps prompts the user for feedback if you shake your phone. Having something like that would be sweet!

You'll need to drop a library into your project and add a few lines of code. I'll send the details over to you shortly. We're still wrapping up the API and the documentation.

Thanks for the feedback about the landing page. We're trying to make the documentation and API as simple and clear. Thank you for your comment.

I would recommend that you make your website more responsive (i.e. currently, resizing my browser window does not resize the content). It feels very "empty" with the white background, no borders, and centered content. At least expand the top bar to take up the entire screen, which should go a long way towards framing content.

Thanks josephpmay. I agree that we've not put in much work with respect to the site. There is room for improvement. I'll pass your comments on to our designer. We'll redesign the site sometime in the future and we'll take your inputs when we come up with a new one.

Thank you for writing.

Damn, great idea! I love the immediacy of prompting for a voice recording.

Would be very keen to integrate this with one of my apps that's currently in beta. Direct, actionable, voice feedback from beta users would be awesome.

Awesome. We'll send you the details regarding the SDK to use pretty soon.

One question your site didn't answer for me: What's involved in actually setting this up?

You include a library in your project and add a few lines of code to integrate it. It should not take more than 2 mins. We're still authoring the doc pages.
