24 alternatives to Talking to your customers made easy.
Dear Hackers and founders, I am working on a startup which aims to make customer development easier, faster and perhaps lazier. We all know how important it is to talk to customers, GainGeek (http://gaingeek.com) makes this process easier. My hope is that this app will resonate with all those following Eric Ries's Lean startup and Steve Blank's customer development strategy. I thought it would be a great idea to submit my idea to the eyes of the most critical crowd I know. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, Edo. PS: Some will note that this app could be intrusive. My bet is that the…

A few days ago, I responded to a comment by bloggergirl offering to read anyone's web copy and help. I shot off an email hoping for a paragraph or two of feedback on my startup's copy. Instead I received a professional, detailed deck of tons of invaluable well thought out feedback. It must have taken her an entire afternoon. Here's a link to it: http://www.slideshare.net/shereefb/recommendations-for-bettermeans To top it off, this isn't someone with a lot of free time on her hands, she's only days away from launching her own startup (page99test) This community blows my mind!

Hey HN, I've been making products for almost a year now. I always started projects and stopped after 2 weeks because I lost motivation. But this time, I’m determined to release it – even if it’s not perfect yet! Let me introduce Feedlyst: a customer feedback tool where you can create boards, let customers submit & upvote feedback, and turn ideas into action. I hope this tool will be helpful for you! Would love your feedback! Raphael

Hey, just wanted to share with you guys and app that I built and deployed in a day with Lovable. So, as a founder I always wanted to have an advisor but my budget would always be less, then on the other hand hand I had Paul's essays on Startup Advice, which I never read because I was busy building stuff. Hence, I built this product which comes into a sweet spot of both at the same time being more reasonable and capable than the alternative. ps: it's running on a reasoning model and tbh I've been able to gather pretty good insights from it. Note to PG: If you're seeing this. I'm your big fan.…

Lean Thingy - Helps you get fast feedback about your startup idea. I hope this tool can help you determine whether to pursue or kill a startup idea quickly. I started building it after a few startup idea posts on HN with 0 replies. I think of it as a hot or not for startup ideas. I started on this two days ago - it's not 100% complete, but I wanted to start getting feedback as soon as possible.

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…
