Hi All ,I been working on my idea , A Voice CRM solution for 2 years.When I started brainstorming the idea the only option I have to receive phone calls thru browser was a flash widget or use 3rd party providers like Twilio or Phono .<p>Thanks to WebRTC we now integrated our VoIP services to receive and make calls directly thru browser .Please have a look and give us your feedback .Thanks Voz.io Team .

Your website is eating the back button. I HATE that.

We'll even be able to tell when you finish fixing it because the stream of duplicate comments complaining about it will (hopefully) end :)

I like the video. Can you share who made it?

"We'll let you know who's calling, based on previous call data, and algorithms." - made me laugh

One suggestion - remove the "Powered by WebRTC". I doubt your customers know, or care, what that is. Perhaps, instead, replace with a "No Hardware to Buy" type of headline.

"Powered by WebRTC" means, to me, "we aren't going to charge you PBX prices" and "no need to install 3rd party software that may or may not work for each of your agents". If this has a competitive pricing model and support for Android we're in.

I second the removal of the "Powered by WebRTC" paragraph. You might wanna test a version of the page where the copy focusses a bit more on selling the benefits instead of on the features.

Looks like you're building a cool app, good luck!

Please don't break the back button.

Interesting product, though some of the language in the video and on page felt a little awkward.For example, the voice in the video says "just not only that!..." I don't know if it's just me but that does't seem right?

gabeisman112y ago

Don't ever do that to my back button.

Isn't WebRTC awesome! I created https://github.com/imomin/videoChat to get my feet wet with WebRTC.

Why do browsers let Back button be broken? So intrusive.

AznHisoka12y ago

You broke my back button. Prepare to die.

ChrisNorstrom12y ago

On the front page, the image of the laptop is ON TOP OF the sign up button, so the right side of the sign up button cannot be clicked. Move it to the back. Great startup btw, I can't wait for launch.

Cool service but the color choice as a weird vomit yellow for two of your feature icons is pretty awful. I suggest keeping it consistent with your blues. How about #1984A2.

Your website also doesn't work when using an anonymous proxy/VPN, the geoip request fails (with 404) and I'm just left with a blank page.

Great looking service and landing page, if you ever want to swap notes on WebRTC hit me up - we've been using it in production for 6 months now!

Hi Sumang,

Can you put your email in your profile, I'd like to contact you about something I'm working on that may be of interest to you.

Cheers!

Interesting what kind of pricing model do you have in mind for this? Per minute, per agent, subscription?

sumangOP12y ago

We have per agent per month and per minute pricing for outgoing calls .

tmikaeld12y ago

Smells like a honeypot to me.

Especially with no pricing.

Also no information about what is required, i'd guess a headset at minimum?

nsmartt12y ago

Your site doesn't work without JavaScript. It should fail gracefully.

bradgessler12y ago

When does Beta testing start?

sumangOP12y ago
