#12Nice idea! One minor comment: I have the impression that the word “Roast” is being used as a linguistic reference. If so, non-native English speakers may not understand the name. Maybe consider a name that is more university understood?

#13This is my first solo-founded product, I developed it with 3 weeks. The goal is build a marketplace where people can share their expertise and get money or get feedback for your idea, product, website, etc. Thanks!
Cool idea, kind of like ProductHunt meets Quora? I think in order for people to spend money you will need some well known experts, but I like the free offering and I put in a submission of my own. Congrats on the launch!
Hi Tim and thanks for your submission. The idea is to increase the database of experts (in the lasts 2 days 9 news experts added) and then you can handpick expert review. I'm working in the promotion part of the product! Stay tunned

Thanks! You are not the first one to sayme something similar... I was thinking in changing it to feedbackme or feedbackloop or something similar to make it more professional too, but it's hard to decide either do it or no.

Well nows the time to do it before you get too much traction.

#16Cool Idea, as someone who's worked on a lot of ideas, getting feedback from users can be a laborious process. I think you're trying to solve a good problem, however the issue I think you may run into is people willing to pay for it. I also don't care about what experts feedback have on my product, I care about the target customer. Their feedback is much more valuable since they'd be the ones paying for it.

I feel the same. I'm much more interested in collecting a wide range of opinions from a big group of users from my broad niche (software developers, in my case) than I am in one or two experts who may or may not be my target audience.
I can imagine the situation where you would want an expert, but for me that would be more when I'm trying to fix a specific issue (users don't convert well on page X), and I don't have a specific problem. Right now I mainly want feedback to validate my core concept, and really that needs a certain volume of opinions.
OP, I'd suggest splitting the pricing: $X for an expert opinion (I think you could go quite a way above the current $5 here), or $Y for N opinions from random people who might fit my niche (you'd need some broad categories somehow though).

Thanks for your feedback. It's true that the target customer is more important, but I thought that maybe experts could help to reach it (marketing experts, grow experts, etc.). But I was thinking to implement something like a landing bot for the targeted website or surveys... I will think about it, because there are a lot of competence in this field (targeted surveys, bots, X users reviews for Y, etc.). But thanks!

Yeah, that's true... (We have a lot of software developers as experts too haha ;)).
I will think in your idea of splitting the price. The true is that "in a way" I did (you can buy specific experts) but some people say to me that the price is too low... But it's hard for me to upraise the price without any sell :S
Thanks!
