I originally intended it to be a web app for real estate professionals to share and discuss photos of real estate. Of the few i showed it to seem turned off by it. And i feel thats largely due to them being too old and out of the technology loop.
Could i repurpose the app to give it more appeal to a wider audience?
Please help me brainstorm. Thank you!
The web app streams them in a news feed like format. Fully equipped with commenting, favoriting, and even hashtagging.
Right now i have focused it on real estate photos, but see no reason as to why it cant be opened up as a more general photo sharing app.
Since its not a mobile app all uploading of photos are done via emailing a set of photos to upload@cribzy.com via the email address you registered with. I plan on adding upload button options for both desktop and mobile in the very near future.
I would love any feedback you have. I would like to see it improve And willing to work hard.
The URL is http://www.cribzy.com if you wish to take a look.
Thanks!
You get a couple lines of javascript code that you embed on any page of your site you want the user to begin their test. You can even entice them with a special incentive for giving you their feedback.
An example of the widget in action can be seen at http://www.betapunch.com/popover_window.
What do you think of the widget? Is it useful? Would you use it to test your own site?
All tester videos get uploaded into your account for only you to view - and you get an email notifying when each test is completed.
If you want to give it a go on your own website let me know and I'd be glad to get you set up with a widget and some free test credits.
Currently all they have though is the ability to view 1 vine at a time in browser and that's assuming you have the URL to the vine.
So a friend and I decided to build a better viewing and discovery experience of Vines in your browser.
We launched http://www.vined.co yesterday and would like your feedback. We used the Twiiter API.
Go ahead and search for a popular hashtag like #mardigras #carnival #magic #howto etc and we pull in all the vines for you.
You can also search for a twitter @username and we will pull in all their tweets that include a vine.
You can play and pause the videos by clicking on the videos themselves.
Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback for us.
My initial vision was to try and mesh imgur and snapchat into a website - but believe I failed pretty miserably with it and don't really have the time to do anything more to it.
Should I sell it? Give it to somebody that can devote more time to it? Pull the plug all together?
I am honestly considering just handing it over to somebody else for no cost. Yeah I will lose money in it but it would be cool if somebody has a great enough vision for it and wants to see it do well I might just hand it over to you.
Thoughts?
Website owners ask the testers what to focus on and our testers record between 8-15 minutes of feedback while navigating the website.
I am crowd sourcing the feedback and delivering the video in as fast as 1-2 hours. I would like to show it to you and see if I can maintain a quick delivery rate.
http://betapunch.com. If you have a website and are looking for some honest feedback, give it a try and I would love to know what you think!

No strings attached, no credit card required, free usability testing for web-based startups.
After a quick sign up we deliver a screen recorded usability test within 1-2 hours. We send you an email notification.
Nobody else can see your feedback except for you. You also get a direct URL to your video so you can share it with anybody you would like to.
Any feedback on the experience is welcomed. I am trying to take on the big usertesting dogs out there and hopefully provide a better experience than they do.
I have a service that provides user testing for startups. I have had several customers and relatively ok revenue over the past couple months. Some have even ordered tests as repeat customers.
My product has signed up over 1000 testers chomping at the bit to test websites. This is where I am fundamentally different than usertesting(com) because we are crowd sourced user testing. My testers literally compete to get the testing job (as far as who can get to it quickest).
However, I have seen my growth reach a flat line and I think it's largely because I don't portray this value to the customer on my landing page. I don't have the budget for an explainer video either. So I would like some feedback on how I can better get across the message I want to.
When my customers have actually purchased and received user feedback I have not had a disappointed customer to date. I have worked with over 350 startups so far (not all paying customers).
http://www.betapunch.com
If you would like to try it yourself I have set up a coupon code for a free user test if you purchase at least one. Enter the coupon code: hackernews
I wanted to develop a more simple and affordable method for getting your site tested so I created BetaPunch.com
My pricing is currently set at $10 / user test which I have been told by many of my peers is too low for the quality of feedback my customers are receiving. Here's some proof of customer satisfaction: http://i.imgur.com/ZvjlM.png
But my target demographic is early stage startups and I know money is tight so I wanted to give them something that was affordable.
I created a coupon code for anybody who wants to give it a shot. If you enter the coupon: ' hackernews ' when you sign up your startup and order at least 1 test you will get an additional user test for free.
Let me know what you think.
Sign up / Submit startup, get a unique URL to launch our screen recorder, share the link with your beta sign ups or anybody you want to test your site, they record and upload their video which sends the feedback directly to your startup page.
Each startup gets a unique URL to share with testers. Send the URL to them via email or place the URL on your website. For the screen recorder I am tapping into the Screenr.com API.
Would love to hear the HN community opinion and if it is something you would use to get usability testing for your own startup.
Currently our free trial only allows for 3 user tests and then your URL will be disabled from receiving future recordings. But I would happy to dish out more free tests for people who provide me with feedback for BetaPunch.
Keep in mind you source your own testers, we only provide you with guaranteed testers from our community if you choose the paid plan.
Our paid option is $39 which allows for unlimited user tests via the URL we provide you and we also guarantee 3 user tests from members of our community.
Look forward to your feedback =)
