I like that most of what is in the first list are things I can relate to. If anything this is making me slow down which I think might be a good thing.

Whoa, hello everyone, founder here.

I wasn't sure what would happen if I posted on HN but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone checking Sparel out and signing up, this means a lot to me, especially because I'm not funded, and I'm going at this alone but not really because everyone wants to help. This is just... incredible.

Please keep the feedback coming. I'm also very curious to know what your job title is? I'm trying to dial in the target audience - it's jumped a few times but I think I might be getting closer.

Sparel has been my passion project for the last few months. It started as a Notion doc, then a Miro doc... and then back to Notion, and then a web app. This is driven by my own need to expand how I solve problems. I'm fascinated with the type of problem-solving behind big projects like landing a rover on Mars... I would love to bring the magic that goes behind solving stuff like that to everyone regardless of background in problem-solving. To me, that would be amazing.

Awesome, appreciate it! I'm going to play around more with different formats and the videos as well to make them clearer on smaller devices

Thank you! I really like the video idea - I'm actually writing the script for an intro video so hopefully I can get that out soon. Were you able to understand the video clips at the bottom of the page? I'm thinking of zooming in a little more on the features they are trying to showcase

You know what's funny is you're the second person to mention the technique/framework aspect of it as being the bigger thing here. I'm beginning to be convinced! I was thinking maybe if I dropped in more examples of different scenarios that it would be easier to show that aspect.

Ah thank you for mentioning that! I removed the consent timeout - so to close it you have to click the button. I wonder if I should mention that it's only on the landing pages only - I intentionally leave tracking out on the app itself...

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing! Looks like I have quite a bit of reading tonight because it links out to cool articles like this: https://www.producttalk.org/2019/02/prioritize-opportunities...

A whole area of mapping!

oh I was just curious about the "I'm not alone comment" whether that meant the buddy is there to help you, or the sharing capability in Sparel

Yep! Personally, I think I have an underlying habit of going by gut and it has taken 20 years to use it only as one of many different decision making tools - so very hard to balance data, reality, heart, and keeping everyone happy!

Thanks for the feedback! I really like flipping it more onto the core buddy side of things. I'm curious about the "I'm not alone" bit - there's something there, I wonder if people making decisions predominantly feel alone in making decisions - I bet they do!
