My first reaction: Is this something that companies actually want/need? Have you validated the market? That's ultimately more important than the v0 landing page design.
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.

willing or eager?

#25- I'd recommend you look into Amy Hoy's writings, especially about her "Pain/Dream/Fix" approach to pitching products [1]. Sign up to her newsletter as well. - Colors and logo seem to be inspired from ProductHunt. It's fine to steal (really), but at least be a tad more creative with the logo. - If you're going for a simple page, I wouldn't hesitate to use larger font sizes. - "Designing Web Applications" from Nathan…
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?
The fact that it does look similar to someone is feedback. Take it how it is, but at the end of the day someone is going to think it's inspired by ProductHunt. :)

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

#28Are you targeting B2B or B2C companies? Of those two, B2B sounds like the obvious choice, but even then, I'm not sure there's enough value for companies to adopt this. What makes you think companies actually want this and are willing to pay money for it?

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Out of curiosity, how would this be different from a blog?
Integration with customer SSO, to provide different info for prospect/trial/paying customers or customers with different verticals/needs similar to the marketing landing page concept

#30I mean - it looks nice, but it doesn't seem to solve any pertinent problems for its target audience.
