Project Description: A product discovery app that features highly curated lists of products via guides and an endless tiktok-esque feed to discover new and exciting products. The idea came from my wife always having trouble finding me gifts for special occasions like birthdays and currently searching "gifts for men" always suggests shot glasses, knives, or beard kits, which are things I don't want haha.
What do you want to be tested: Live data is not in the app yet (there's about 50 test products for now), trying to nail the experience first since it's a PWA and testing on various devices is hard. If you sign up, your data will likely be deleted by morning time as we're not even alpha yet. Just really curious to see if it works well on a variety of real world devices and also validate if it's something people would use.

It's very hard for me to scroll back up because it starts triggering pull-to-refresh. Android 13 / Chrome.

Project Description: We’re building a tool to design and run user state machines (we call these ‘flows’). It’s comprised of a shared canvas for modeling and versioning user flows, SDKs for instantiating those flows per user, and a platform to persist user flow state that handles migrating users between versions on the fly.
The SDK gives you hooks to manage state for each node (we call these ‘blocks’) and Dopt handles any side effects, transitioning all dependent blocks for you. Reactivity is also built in: those side effects on the user state graph, along with any others (e.g. updates to user properties or API invocations) are propagated in real time to the SDK.
We started Dopt because we’ve seen teams struggle when trying to build experiences that are contextual to what a user/workspace has done (e.g. product onboarding and education flows). Doing so requires modeling user state graphs in the DB, migrating the schema/data across versions of the graph, tying in product state to state outside of the product, and lots of back and forth with product and design.
What do you want to be tested: We're looking for more folks building with Dopt during our private beta. We're giving the product away for free during this period and cutting discounts for folks that build with us now once we go GA.
Contact: info@dopt.com (or you can sign up for the beta on the website and reply letting us know you found us on Hacker News to skip the line)

The page looks pretty dang good. There might be too many of those interactive videos/gifs...there's a lot vying for my attention especially when I can see multiple moving things at once, I could be wrong though. Might be a nice touch to make the previous one stop moving when another is closer to the center of the viewport? Also, just out of curiosity, why is there a link in the footer to a page explaining what Google Jobs is? I didn't understand why all of that was being explained.

cool idea!
worked well enough for me on Chrome/Android.
As for the listings i would only use this if the products would be more "interesting". atm i was ony presented with the most bland and popular techbro gadgets.
i get that this is bc it is still in early stages but the variety and uniqueness of suggestions would be key IMO.

Thank you for the feedback. Absolutely agree that curation of interesting and unique products will be key to making it be useful. :)
