Looks interesting. Plan to have your own exit poll ??
Content across the web should be fine for now.
I am looking more on quick micro content than doing courses.
that was helpful. thanks
Will check on the possibility of google sheet integration. Why would you use it for ? Can I know the Job you wish to accomplish ?
This happens a lot to me as well. Best for now is to do experiments on PM so much that once you figure out you will not have time to feel lonely. You will get into the FLOW.

Learn a side skill like an instrument, artform etc which you can learn while you building this.

Yes, you can make them from your backend itself and export to dashboards on our product or export them to your slack.

Can I know exactly what use case it might help you. Daily reporting ?

Thanks ujwalsri. I am looking for some data scientists to try this out. will try in logistics space and take their feedback.

Thanks for the links. Will go through
Thanks for the feedback.

We had done a product hunt for valentines day and people have created timelines as we provide a private timeline feature.

Your thoughts on travel and hobby resonate with us and have seen early users using for that purpose. Could you try creating one timeline of your recent travel or a hobby and share us your feedback on creation of timeline. That would help us in improving the product further.

If you can share your email address or initiate a chat on the product we can take the discussion off HN and could serve you better.

TIA

PHUSER is a pre filled invite code which we kept. It doesn't make sense and confuses the users. Didn't think that through.

We are working on fixing the complete user flow and making it more user friendly. Will consider your feedback for sure.

Twitter moments is not much customisable but being a platform we can come up with numerous additions which will be personalised to the user.

Consider this to have all timelines of your stories at one place - sharable, discoverable and editable at any point of time.

This is an experiment to see if timelines can be used for telling stories much easier than writing a blogpost.

The posts are sorted as per dates and creating threads is much easier here than articulating on a medium.

The restriction on content size and picture based storytelling keeps this quite different from MEDIUM. As we go further, notification system for posts and embeddable features will differentiate from other platforms too.

Thanks mate for the feedback.

Liked your airdrop party thingy. will think about it.

Do you think having multiple themed timelines tailored to specific use cases and some premium features will get people to use it ? oh yes and making it easy by getting some integrations on with fb/twitter/linkedin/ google photos and so on.

Will consider this feedback. Thanks a lot :)
The difference is here the posts are structured into threads to make it easier to convey a story than writing a blogpost.
A click to get to our site through partner events of few brands as they used our product for content marketing

Early users who created content and shared it on social media

Some initial content seeded by us garnered a lot of visits

Aware about this. But if you could share some insights specific to this case it would really help.
Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't get the point when you say the tool cannot be used to create a real timeline ? Could you elaborate on what you expected ?

In medium, one has to construct the narrative which is not an easy task for everyone to do especially for people who cannot articulate well. Timelines have proven to be a form of narrative since ages and we wanted this tool to be given for people to construct a narrative of any life story they wish to say.

If you think it could have been done in a better way, I would love to hear your thoughts on what you expect over a medium in order to construct narratives easily?

It would help us in shaping the product. Thanks again

Thanks Montrose,

We built this product as an experiment to document experiences in a much easier way than writing a blogpost.People who are not interested in blogging could tell a cohesive story by stitching a set of posts which are easier to understand.

We are trying to experiment this and see if it could be used as a microblogging tool for experiences and stories as an alternative to writing a blogpost.

We will surely reflect on your feedback but if you have anything that we could look to pivot can be helpful for us to consider from here on.

thanks again

Thanks for feedback!

We will change the logo size. Agree on the landing page not explaining about the product. Will work on it.

We have the servers located at India and we are probably guessing the slow page load is because of this.

We are working on reducing the size of the page, which is something we have overlooked.

If the above teething problems are solved, can I know if you feel the product will be used by people gradually?

Ask HN: We aren't getting users to create stories on our content platform – why?
