Basically, one person writes the other discussion, and we switch every 20 minutes, so everybody can take part.
But if you are writing an application, something which is supposed to replace desktop software, and allow for storing data in a database, retrieve it quickly, manage some sort of complicated systems then I'm sorry Html + css is not good enough. Use the tools you need, don't pick react for landing pages.
Edit: typo
Appreciate your feedback, it is probably due to the fact English is my second language.
I'll have a look at updating the website taking into consideration your comments!
I followed a similar pattern and created https://sayoname.com, an app for remotely located workers so they can record names and call each other directly from the browser. A tool so people can easily find how to say someone's name, sneak on what someone does in the company etc.
I almost got a big school hooked up to start paying subscription (it is an international school) but they decided on creating their own solution due to privacy concerns. Extremely disappointing and lowers morale straight away.
I have few hundred profiles but the growth is stale atm. I don't really have time to actively look for new users and would love a co-founder as what they say on y-combinator it is REALLY a lot easier if you have someone you can share thought and can both motivate each other. So my advice is add a step and get a co-founder.
Why this idea? My name is Maciej and, after moving abroad, I've found that my name is hard to pronounce for others and might make them uncomfortable when starting a conversation with me. Hopefully, if you work in an international environment, you can make people's life easier by recording your name and sharing your profile in email footers or Linkedin.
There are around 300 recorded names—a hundred recorded by Chinese native speaker surnames, about 150 Polish and 50 Ukrainians. If your name is missing, record it, others might need it one day.
The app is Node.js + React. I hosted it on AWS Beanstalk. I can share my experience on how to setup SSL, auto-scaling, CLI tool and answer more questions here or directly on a video chat call.
If you are up for it create a profile, record your name and call me so we can test how the video chat works :)
Currently, there is a 5 minute limit for video calls but the first 100 users to create profiles and record names get this upgraded to 60-minute calls. Just let me know, you can use the form here https://www.sayoname.com/contact
So if you are curious how to say Maciej go to https://www.sayoname.com/me/maciej :)
Looks pretty clear to me?
BTW, it seems weird that the article is treated as discovery...
