    HN Team, I have been trying to do something like this for a while, where, a crowdsourced model is used to help startups get easy access to "targeted" beta users and thorough feedback for their website or apps. Through various measures, I have been signing users for the past month and a half and I believe I am ready to accept clients now. The business model is simple: you specify target user demographics for your website or app and assign tasks to the users; we notify our users that match your demographics; the users sign up, complete assigned tasks and provide you a thorough feedback. Since…

    Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…

    orignally shared this on startup school... i thought id' share it here. i'm using a `nocode communication tool` (a web-based interface... a single browser tab!) for all of these things: 1. landing page — the landing page is the product and i wanted for folks to feel "transported" right into the app without having to walk through a shitty b2b marketing-style content. this is akin to my experience back in the `BBS` days of the mid-90's where you were immediately into the app, community, and tool. no terms of service, no privacy policy. just pure, immediate value. 2. building community — we…

    http://www.betapunch.com: Sign up / Submit startup, get a unique URL to launch our screen recorder, share the link with your beta sign ups or anybody you want to test your site, they record and upload their video which sends the feedback directly to your startup page. Each startup gets a unique URL to share with testers. Send the URL to them via email or place the URL on your website. For the screen recorder I am tapping into the Screenr.com API. Would love to hear the HN community opinion and if it is something you would use to get usability testing for your own startup. Currently our free…

    I am announcing the private beta of my first web app (http://getfounder.com). The beta will launch in just one city, which will be determined by the number of entries on the location-aware sign up page. As this is my first public release, I'm looking to the HN community to offer me feedback on what I should/shouldn't be displaying on the homepage. I'd be grateful for any advice you had to offer. Thanks, and I hope to see some of you in the private beta! Colin
