Earlier quoted context omitted.

My hunch is most of society wants trusted and unbiased reviews rather than filtering or manipulation. I doubt there is more money in that direction though

These are not meant to be reviews. It's just social proof showing that other people like the product to build trust. Since they're Tweets it's also theoretically organic, which is even better.

Agree with you. Also we are not asking anyone to form any behavior. People naturally give shoutouts to others(depends on their work) and we believe it should be used to our leverage instead of buried deep under these social platforms. That's where Shoutout comes in picture.

We're a paying customer and happily so. The product is slick, it works extremely well, and the cost is negligible compared to the value you get from it. For us @bemicrobrave (on Twitter) this was a no-brainer from the moment we saw it.

Thanks guys! Love what you are doing and glad you are our customer!

Congrats on the launch, the product looks great! How did you manage to show the local currencies in the pricing section? Are you using any library or third party service for that?

We use Paddle and it takes care of the currency when you enable the feature.

Actually my technical co-founder is better to answer this question.

Hey there HN community I'm Sharath co-founder at Shoutout. This is my first posting a product on HN so I'm pretty stoked at the same time heavily nervous about it! Five months ago, I had this idea of gathering all the shoutouts I get on Twitter under one place, and I thought it would be cool to launch an LP and validate it with everyone. As a no-code maker, I shipped the LP in less than 24hrs, got 120+ signups, and s…

What does LP mean? From the context it looks like something more basic than an MVP? Would you mind sharing what tech you used for the no-code stages (LP and MVP) of your product?

LP means landing page. Sure happy to share the stack.

For the landing page, I used carrd.co, mailerlite for wait-list signups. For MVP I used bubble.io, Twitter API.

Love the idea, and the details on how you validated it! Now just to get some shoutouts on Twitter... :D

One question I have is how you drove traffic to your LP initially?
