Hey HN!

This is a side project I’ve been working on that I’d love to share with the Hacker News community and receive feedback. Voiclet is a widget for your website that allows your users to call your team directly from their browser. It's aimed towards startups and small businesses who do not have a dedicated support team but still need to field sales and support calls. I’m all ears to any sort of feedback or criticism. Thanks!

Yea you could think of it that way.

1.You upload your ad and it's shown on other Adtree users' websites.

2. Your ad is shown as often as possible on only relevant websites.

3. Right now, I do. With enough users the network could be monetized by charging monthly to advertise (without having to place an ad on your own site).

Hey Hacker News, I've been working on this side project for a couple weeks. Please let me know what you think needs improvement. Thank you!

Not the first time someone posting a project on HN has done this!!!!

Hey everyone! I'm happy with all the feedback you've given me and I apologize my launch wasn't up to your speed. I've added an image of what the inbox may look like and extended the free trial period from 1 month to 3 months. I don't believe the product is worth any money at the moment but will be as I add more and more features and capabilities. But still, check it out! Thank you, all!

I'd love your continued feedback. You can reach me via Chitter, contact@chitter.io, or my personal email aleksailosey@gmail.com.

I agree. Product clarity is now my #1 concern. Please hang with me while I make updates to the website over the next day.

You are right. Definitely did not expect to hit the front page of HN. Sorry for letting you down!

Landing page will be updated within the next day to more accurately represent the product. I initially thought providing increased ease of installation trumped showing customers what my product actually is. I was wrong. Apologies for this!

I apologize for that. I am new to launching websites and certain issues occurred that otherwise would not have within the safe confines of http://localhost:8080

Is this the equivalent of having a custom domain email address? Basically yeah. Maybe it would be easier to have an inbox locally on your website, so users don't have to

1. Locate the "contact us" page, copy the given email address and 2. Open their email provider to send the message

Both actions are awfully trivial but users' attention/willingness to give feedback can be fleeting. In the past 2 hours I've received hundreds of well articulated pointers via the Chitter add on. Would I have gotten as many over email? I'm guessing probably not.

It remains to be seen, however, if users even want to revisit a website to simply view a message. Maybe or maybe not.

Oh shoot...I thought it was pretty witty.

Fair point, will update this soon. Thanks for checking it out and giving feedback.

I'm on board with that. Expect to see that up soon. Thank you for the advice!

Of course! Apologies for not including any explanation from the start.

Chitter is basically email for your website.

I recently launched Chitter with the hopes that it could stand out from conventional messaging services that are more focused on product support and answering immediate questions regarding pricing. Chitter is better for engaging with users over the course of days, weeks, or months - really the user's entire life cycle. This way, you can really learn who your user is and what they want.

As previously mentioned, I just launched, as in last night. Features are seriously lacking at the moment but I'm adding to it day after day. If you try it out, let me know what you think!
