Go-go-go man! An idea seems interesting, having a simple product just to store all quotes should be a cool thing for small businesses.

What I would personally add: - Use GIF/carousel instead of an image on the landing page so I can use what exactly the product does - Add some kind of API (really basics) to integrate a product into other solutions

Thanks a lot for your feedback. It seriously means a lot to me that people take their time to check out something I built and say what they think about it.

The landing page is literally 5 days old. I am constantly tweaking it with new ideas and I will definitely apply your feedback. I was thinking of a speed-up video to show various pages.

API sounds so good. I was thinking of Zapier integration but why not both, right?

I’d recommend both; folks who want to use the API natively can, but those who are going to use Zapier can rely on the integration. You’ll need the API endpoint regardless for the Zapier integration.

I propose that having the ability to manage clients and quotes through an API would be a powerful feature. If you’re worried about rapid iteration and backwards compatibility, remember to version your API route(s), and use a sub domain so you can scale out the API easily in the future independently of other app components. Consider firing off web hooks for any events that your customers would want action taken on faster than polling your API could support.

Congrats on the launch!!

Thanks a lot for the ideas, too. If you want to hear about the progress you can simply just register (we'll probably send a weekly mail) or follow me (@hkanaktas) or Dytto's account (@dyttoco) on Twitter.

Thanks! To be honest this isn't even a launch lol. I was just trying to find a few potential customers and ask for feedback. Now I have a lot of potential customers, and a lot of conversations to make.
