Hello HashNode community! Love this UI!
We developers, love to build things. Unfortunately, once we build our new shiny applications, due to lack of marketing/business skills our startups often fail. At least my 3 last ones :)
1 month ago I got an idea for a new project that could benefit greatly the tech community and I felt in love with it. Instead of spending months on something no one would use I decided for a different approach this time.
Following lean practises, I have built a MVP and now I am in a phase of collecting feedback from my target audience: "Us, developers".
I heard HashNode has a very experienced and polite community that focuses also on the "human aspect" of our jobs which really resonates with my moral compass therefore I would like to know your opinion my StartUp I launched yesterday.
Enough introduction! Here we go: excellentdevelopers.io/2017/10/04/launching-platf…
What do you think?
Instead of apologizing for bad grammar, maybe you should fix it. The "Engrish moist goodry me love you long time" is quite painful on the site, as is the UTTER AND COMPLETE LACK of ANYTHING to give a first time visitor ANY clue what your project is even about.
I see a lot of marketspeak buzzwords, but no plain language to say what it is we're even looking at or why anyone should care. In many ways it reminds me of scammy "motivational speaker" type "soft language" without EVER getting to the POINT!
There's a LOT of words, and ZERO substance. For the life of me I cannot figure out what it is you're even trying to say or accomplish.
Though admittedly I'm infographic/flowchart blind as the mere presence of that sort of thing automatically throws me into "hey look at the marketing scam card stacking" mode of thought.
All that said, the page itself is also not the greatest on accessibility what with the illegible section of white on green text far, FAR below WCAG minimums, willy nilly random font-size changes, laughably broken attempt at being responsive (lemme guess... bootcrap? Yup, there it is. Go find a stick to scrape that off with!), SVG doing CSS' job, gibberish run-on sentence masquerading as a menu (anchors are not delimiters!), static SVG hardcoded into the markup with ZERO non-visual accessibility queues...
It's got problems.
