There's a notice that they're a Gandi reseller.
On their site? I've looked through every page I can find and don't see that information.
It's when you go to check out ... there's a footer.

Do that many people maintain domains on multiple registrars? Seems to me like the kind of person for whom this is a problem would have already simplified their own life by picking a single registrar.
I mean, i have yet to find a registrar that has all the TLDs i want. However, most of the TLDs i want i already find too expensive. If this type of service minimizes "their cut" to the bare minimum, and made it very transparent who it was coming from so i could price check, i would likely use this service because they're bound to have more TLDs (due to aggregation) than typical registrars. Unfortunately, currently i…
We do not earn money when you use the site. There is no subscription fee, no premium stuff. We take our cut when you buy a domain from Nuage and/or renew your domains. It is transparent, and just to make sure it is clear, we do buy our domains from Gandi which is accredited by ICANN.

#23The lead feature here seems to be "buy domains with no hassle", but that already exists: Hover.com and Google Domains, to name two major ones.
Perhaps your lead should be the unified domain management. Because I will be honest, at these prices I would NEVER use your service over the two I mentioned above.

#24Definitely falls under the kind of tool I would use if my friend wrote it, but otherwise doesn't really do anything for me. I'm a namecheap user and they do a perfectly good job.

#25Really like the light touch to the website design and copy. But it may be too light as I've clicked on two links to find out how it adds value to my life and I still don't know.
Some first impressions:
* I want to enter something where it says 'your domain name' under features. My domain name what? This looks like an input box but it's not. I'm left confused.
* Under pricing, "All our domains including" should read "All our domains include".
* "Download the domain prices". Are you joking? Make this a searchable list. Jets will make implementing this a breeze - https://github.com/NeXTs/Jets.js/
* As I scroll down the homepage my eyes move from 'buy' to 'A-Z' to 'Day-30'. This block layout feels odd as I associate items at the top with higher priority but they all seem like equally important features and the 'A-Z' is just kind of hanging out solo on the right - something like display: flex with justify-content set to 'space-between' may be worth trying.
My feedback mostly cover aesthetics, sorry. I would comment on the service if I knew what it was! ;)

It's actually not a registrar, but a platform that aggregate registrars in a single UI. You basically sync your accounts from registrars (GoDaddy, Gandi, ...) and it let's you manage them from the same place.
and what's my 10x here?
...and it let's you manage them from the same place.

Why would I want to use different services? I (personally) use godaddy, my company uses namecheap. Both seem to be doing fine and we check in on them once a year.
Different TLDs at different registrars, I guess. I don't see that feature relieving a big pain point either.

#29Firefox doesn't seem to support this on Debian (Linux?) or Android (or more?):
Debian/Firefox:
Tried typing in the animated 'Hello!' at the top of the screen on the home page, in order to enter a domain name, but nothing happened. Reason for trying clicking and entering something was because the animation seemed like indication of input functionality to search for names and domains, but no input happened.
For something to happen, could be nice, especially as the comments here suggest you make revenue only from domains managed through Nuage - get signups early by getting people on the front page.
Checking further, the https://www.nuageapp.com/features page suggests checking domains is possible, without needing to log in first, but the text box is not selectable.
For fun, tried on mobile: Android/Firefox
The 'Hello' on '/' is unclickable as when trying with desktop - not sure if it is supposed to be or not... The burger menu is also unclickable; when going to /features the input box was also unclickable like on desktop.

#30Looks cute, but (just take this as feedback for your "onboarding" process) I don't like to sign up for things without being able to test them. Like GoDaddy, you should allow a user to search for a domain name, see the price, and then sign up. At least, that's what you'd have to do to get business from a curmudgeon like me.
