The idea is to help app developers (like myself, and many of you) find testers who are willing to provide feedback on their apps. The incentive for testers is they get free access to new apps and their feedback can direct the development of the app.
Developers will add their App's information to BetaBoom and it will appear in the App List (apps currently accepting testers). Users can apply to become testers and developers can review and accept/reject testers. If accepted, developers will get access to the tester's email address and can contact them to provide access to their app. Testers will be able to submit feedback on BetaBoom and that feedback will be available for the developer to review.
Please take a look and let me know if you have feedback/suggestions. Feel free to apply to become a tester of BetaBoom itself. It is conveniently an App accepting testers on BetaBoom. :)
My next concern regards whether or not to charge users to use my application. I've read articles and have had debates over the past few months. Now I'd like to pose this question to the HN population:
Assuming the founders' costs are are trivial (excluding time), what are the scenarios/reasons to charge users to use a product vs. providing free access to all users?
