Haha. Maybe if you come by our office I'll set something up. :)

#92My only concern with benefit programs like these is if I'm earning less income because the company is allocating money for benefits I may not need.
This is not how Uncover works. We specifically designed it to avoid this. The company is only charged for benefits that the employee uses. Therefore, if an employee doesn't care to use one or more benefits then the company is not charged for them.

#93I didn't really grok your product until my eyes crossed the envelope with the card in it. Put that sucker front and center with "Employee Recognition Program" somewhere.
Re: Show HN: I learned to code to launch my new startup
#94How does the company name relate to the service itself? Do you help uncover "hidden gem" employees? Or does a client need to do that themselves, but you only help in arranging the reward? If you don't help to identify those who go above and beyond, the name is a little distracting as it's the kind of name that makes it seem like there ought to be this functionality. That might be a good direction to consider going in…
What's behind the company name is the idea of uncovering your company/employees potential. We are working toward helping you do just that, but you have to start somewhere and we have a lot still to learn. I love your idea of creating an API to integrate into their existing systems.
Shoot me an email (in profile) if you want to get up and going on Zapier, I can help you work through an MVP API or what kinds of integrations might be popular.

Yes, this would be a complete turn-off for me.
This is not how Uncover works. The employer is only charged for the benefits the employee uses.

Thanks for your feedback. We'll definitely work on making the product message clearer now that we have more eyeballs to our homepage.

Thanks! I'll shoot you an email to make the connection, but I think we're still a bit of a ways away from doing so as we just launched and are still iterating.

#100I would swap the left/right sides of the homepage. You were giving me "reasons" for your product when I didn't know what it was yet, and I had to look around to figure out what it was.
With that said, fantastic job, and way to take the initiative to see your idea through!
