Show HN: Update on my startup - very overdue.

  • I like the design, colors and the general vibe. Registration was easy.

    Once I logged in though, I didn't know what to do. There are three menus (top, left, right) and I didn't know where to start. I didn't know what watchlist is watching. In short, a nice welcome message with a quick tour of the features would have been very helpful. Maybe on first login I should be taken to "Add Property"? It's your call, but an empty watchlist was a let down.

  • Hi Snaveint -

    Congrats on getting this out! I recently started on my own startup and like you I always feel behind.

    That aside, I've heard many people in the NY area ask for a service similar to this, but for managing whole buildings. Do you have an idea of what your initial target market might be?

    Also, the video is very well done, but you make the assumption that someone would want to watch that to learn more about your site. I'd add some text for those that prefer reading.

    Good luck!

  • I don't think "We take your property and put it in the cloud" means anything tangible to a property owner. (Making it easier to find tenants and collect payments are tangible benefits.)

    I would also have more detail on what exactly the product does without requiring the user to sign up. Some screenshots of use cases of how you can help me would be beneficial.

  • The video and the website are both very well done.

    I think there is a huge market for this, I'm curious how you're willing to offer the service for free?

    Does the service provider give you a cut? who will you pay to find the tenants?

  • Hey, I have a friend who might be in need of this. I will coax him into trying this out.

    Send me an email? (address in profile)

    It looks nice! Hopefully I'll be of more help shortly.

  • Side note: I am currently looking for a co-founder CTO to help with continuous improvements/iterations, so if anyone is interested, please get in touch via email (in the profile).

  • Good for you! It looks great. I don't have a need for services like that right now, so I'm not sure I can give any solid advice, but the best of luck to you!

  • "When will the FAQ section be completed?

    Soon, we promise."

    I found this funny yet painfully unprofessional.

  • Not enough info before signup to motivate signup. Color choices need improvement.

  • I liked the video. Did you pay to get it done or did you do it yourself?

  • Hope you're prepared for the lawsuit from Apple over your logo :)
