You're doing gods works here. Thanks so much. Please do ask for a reset when you get the chance and/or email me directly brennan at hypercontext.com would love more feedback like this
I feel like using hackernews as your QA is a bad practice that needs to stop.
Would you be kind enough to open up on the sales cycle? Like, how were you able to convince Credit Suisse to Netlix to use product you built? Like, how does a no body with a app like yours hit the top companies?

Aah thanks for that feedback - Out of curiosity, and if you don't have an answer all good it's not your job at all haha, but: How would you go about explaining our pricing to a peer/what would you change about the page to make it more clear? Thanks in advance :)
It's definitely tough to articulate. It's basically the same concept as progressive taxation in the US as your rate increases on a per dollar basis when moving through the brackets. Though you are going the other direction and discounting deeper as you move through the brackets! It seems to be a subject that trips a lot of people up. It's really common to see people talk about their marginal tax rate as if it is thei…
But yeah we've certainly had a slider in the past with a calculator so could certainly build that back into the page! I'm 100% with you on not making people do the math, especially with the pricing plan/tiered approach we've taken.
Pre-business plan it was super neat to test out what user number was most effective to show on the initial calculator view. Plus it was a great edition for the CS team when sending potential customers ball parks of plan costs.
But this was incredibly helpful feedback so thank you so much. :) If we get the calculator up and running soon I'll be sure to send it your way!

Founders get actionable feedback and advice on their projects with contributions weighted heavily from developers and tech enthusiasts who know what they’re talking about (even if sometimes a bit ornery). Commenters get to learn about new projects before anywhere else on the internet and provide QA in return. It’s all win-win.

You don't need to sell to Netflix to get their logo on your homepage, you just need to convince one person with an @netflix.com email to sign up. Much easier :)

Company logos on a marketing page are a game: "how best can we leverage our userbase to gain credibility?". I can't speak to Hypercontext (maybe they do have a relationship with Netflix!) but in general when you see a logo on the marketing page of a startup it means "we have _one person_ from this company that signed up to our service with an @company.com email". You don't need to sell to Netflix to get their logo on…

as a new manager, had the same exact idea and found a few companies in this space[0][1] (and now this one too) ultimately decided there's just too many competitors. my only gripe with all of these is that they're heavily subscription based/pay to use monthly, etc. i want something more personal that i can just purchase for like $10-20 (more like an app on my mac that i can just use forever) my other gripe is that i d…
We have a small team starter plan that's $5 total for your first 5 users. Also, we'll only charge you for additional users if you a) invite them and b) they sign in and become active. So definitely can stay at $5/m and use it as a personal tool for as long as you want to. It's on the product to convince you your life can be significantly easier through inviting people, not me
Feedback: Looks like a cool product. But from a design standpoint, have all SV / YC companies run out of creative designer juice ? let's say I randomly landed on your site, and there's 1000s that look similar, I can't really follow the message you're sending. because my brain, will take a shortcut. since it's something it has seen countless of times.
Appreciate that feedback! The existing designs are about 2 years old and we've just spent some time redesigning certain parts of the marketing website (rolling out the new homepage first). Did lots of customer calls and are pretty excited about it! I'll be sure to ping you once it's live. Alternatively... would love your feedback before it's live if you're up for it :) hiba at hypercontext.com. We can even loop in ou…
