This is pretty neat. I like the positioning of a monitoring service for your data.

As someone who isn't a data engineer: How did you guys come across this problem? Is this something people have often?

I agree with your point, but realtors are protected but layers of legislation. In many areas the realtor groups almost operate like the taxi cartels.

Super cool to see how OP considered the value of control buttons and simplified

My side project is a web app to publish product updates (http://productmap.co). Right now, working on letting users leave feedback and suggest things they want to see in your product.

You're right, that's a good example. Thanks!

Absolutely, but would charging them for a (technically) trivial feature be self-limiting to our growth?

Another question: Would be worthwhile to apply to YC with a product of this nature?

This was super helpful. Thank you for taking the time Michael.

Ex. A user wants to try it out but paying for a custom domain scares them. They stick to a free subdomain, but never really promote it since it conflicts with their own branding.

Admittedly you're making a good point here that users _would_ get more value this way through increased branding.

Users won't be able to use the product for what it's intended value is (better feedback and communication) if they're turned away so early.

Better put, a custom domain isn't part of the value we add, it's just a gateway to realize the value. Should we be charging for something that's not really tied to the value we provide?

Hi Michael + Aaron,

We're building a smarter way to share product updates (https://productmap.co).

So far we've received a great amount of interest (waitlist) and have users already integrated that are coming back over and over.

The next steps would be to build out some of the feature requests as it's fairly early right now. One of those requests is having custom domains and users are happy to pay $10-$20/mo for it.

The vision for ProductMap is much larger though -- to tackle the fragmented way companies handle communication and feedback with their customers.

Do you think charging for custom domains would be self-limiting in nature? It's a fairly trivial thing to offer for free.

Thank you in advance! (and meeting with Yuri when he's in Toronto this weekend.)

We built ProductMap to have a place to tell users about new features, updates, and product announcements.

Down the road we'll be adding things like voting, user feedback, and automatically posting to social media.

Happy to hear feedback!

Thanks :) I think Jira is more for managing the sdlc and an internal tool.

The focus here would be to have an intuitive interface for product updates and getting feedback on new product decisions.

Appreciate the honesty here! I'll make sure to shorten that down to 1-2 Qs.

Thank you! Super helpful feedback. I'll add a second like explaining the problem this solves (replacing release notes, changelogs, etc.)

I'm from Toronto :)

Thank you. That seems to be the feedback here (page isn't clear enough). Considering you run a service, how do you convey tell your users about new features in an engaging way?

I spoke with an admittedly small set of potential companies, both B2B and B2C. There's enough value in replacing the current way of communicating updates with customers which involves: newsletters, notifications, emails, blog posts, release notes, PDFs (B2B mainly), etc.

That's fair :)

Was just curious where OP saw red, navy blue, and teal on producthunt.

about 50-50. had a few new signups in the last couple days that were very eager.

Perfect, hadn't come across that before. Would love to exchange thoughts with the builder.

Excellent suggestions, thank you!

Just to note, really didn't use producthunt as an inspiration. Simply tried to make a "blob" with the letter P in it. Not sure how the colors are similar?

Appreciate the kind comment. Considering going making it free for basic users and have premium features for $ (like embedding/custom subdomain)

Appreciate the feedback. I'll be adding a demo to see our live productmap from there.

There's much less overhead (simple setup, easy posting, chronological display). I'll also be building out a set of features that help customers provide feedback.

Sorry, the site is a bit broad at the moment (will fix). It's to post new features and product updates in one place. The idea is to replace changelogs, product update emails/blog posts, and release notes.

You're right. I have talked to a handful (<10) of potential customers already. They're willing to try it out and going to share with them over the course of the next week.

I've been building a fun concept that I've had to deal with as a product manager.

A product update timeline (change log) that you can quickly add to your website: http://productmap.co/

Will be ready for a beta launch at the end of this week!
