Great product, website and marketing. Really focused on a specific need and market and made it accessible Small note, it seems the beta comes before alpha? Usually it’s the other way around

I wonder if it's because they're young and all the "Sigma, Alpha and Beta" memes led them to believe Alpha is better than Beta so it should come after. That would be really intersting.

Ok the app is beautiful and seems like it solves a real need. But the thing I’m most impressed with is that you actually seem to have written up a real ToS that covers most top-of-mind issues, including a section for recommended insurance coverage.

Recognizing that the “app” is just one piece of a larger business model (including considerations for legal, support, etc) is a legitimately mind-blowing level of professionalism for a 17 year old. You’re going to go far.

I thought the same thing at first, but then I opened the page. It is more AirB&B, but for spaces to park. Looks similar to Just Park and Parksie.

Tip to Dris: update description to be clear about what type of spaces it is for.

Great job! I can’t even use the app yet because I don’t have a SIM to hand but I can’t believe the quality of the landing page, trailer, and value proposition. Great tagline too. You did it all yourself?

Thank you! Yes, most of it was done solo w/feedback from others. I've been making videos for over 10 years and developing for the past 5, so that might explain a bit.

You caught me.
