tolarewaju3··on Show HN: An Intelligent Planner That Adapts to How You Work
Yeah sorry. I guess I should have been more specific. Mostly I'm looking for feedback on how people have successfully managed their time. And if the above strategies (breaking work down etc) have worked for them..
tolarewaju3··on Ask HN: What is the best mobile app analytics tool?
Thanks. I've looked at Flurry and heard great things about localytics.

Do you prefer any of the two above (Countly & Localytics) in particular?

tolarewaju3··on Ask HN: Review my product, Peers
Wow. Good Feedback again. I guess we narrowed our target to students for a couple of reasons. First, we pleased a lot of students with this there are a set of services we could offer specifically to students. We just felt that narrowing the market would help us focus better.

But, your absolutely right. Replace class and we have something that applies to everyone.

1) It shows all events and assignments. So the assignments you follow and events you accept are here. Colored dots are color coded by class. If anyone else is attending the event it'll show their name below the event.

2) Classes are more like groups. You can't send a message to a peer yet. But thats absolutely something we are doing for the next iteration. Communication is key, I think.

3) Feed w/ comments. If you post to a class, it'll show up here. Comments for events/assignments are coming.

Ahh, ok. Class is just adding a class like you would in a homework planner. Work was "supposed" to be either a test or assignment.

Invite friends is an invite to the app. Perhaps this can be changed to "Share Peers with a friend"

This is probably the best feedback we have received. We wanted to make things as simple as possible so that we can see how people use it and follow to what students use most.

I agree that a demo video would be good. And, alot of the things you pointed out are obviously not clear. Every iteration I think we get better and better at this. So v1.0.3 will hopefully make even more sense.

I can't thank you enough for the feedback. We're trying to pull negative feedback from people and make a product that serves students. THANKS AGAIN!

Thanks. We're really committed to serving students in some form. We will definitely hang in there!

Oh, we definitely lack product-market fit. We just launched a couple of days ago. Also, we have made a point not to advertise. We'd like to see how a small subset of students use it so we can adapt.

Our monetization strategy comes from following students to where they go to spend money and providing them those services cheaper. The first being books. If you're able to get a large number of students on one platform, I believe they'll show you what services they need. But adoption comes before all of this

And you're right, part of what we are trying to figure out with a v1.0 MVP is exactly how the problem/solution fit the market.

Thanks so much for your feedback

tolarewaju3··on Ask HN:Students, Review my startup:Peers
Yeah! Exactly. We're including that in the form of a broadcast. Public broadcasts will appear like "James is at the pub" and then there's an option to join

But we're working on making this less creepy. Might shift more towards what you were saying

Thanks!!

Thanks for the feedback!

We are college students ourselves. So we want to make this as simple as possible.

Maybe we will revisit the clutter issue.

I also understand paper will always be a quicker alternative to bringing out a phone :)
