Looking for honest feedback on a tool for fast note-sharing: devs, educators, curious minds welcome 🙏
is it like markdown for powerpoints? or LaTeX for powerpoints? seems neat, though I don’t create many presentations so I probably wouldn’t use it.
Really appreciate the honesty!- That’s a pretty good comparison (markdown for powerpoints? LaTeX for powerpoints). Can I ask: what kinds of stuff do you tend to write or share? (E.g. notes, docs, code snippets, outlines?) Just trying to learn where it might fit in or if it’s totally off-track for folks like you.
Do you want feedback on your website too? I have a big monitor. It’s too big, making use of the entire screen width and height, and seemingly scaling to fill proportionally instead of reasonably. I would like to be able to grasp the menu in one glance, not read word for word. I assume the content is a generated presentation. For me, that’s unfit for a landing webpage too. Too big.
Seems interesting. But I don’t have a use case, no need to make presentations regularly (and without existing templates). The signup is a hindrance, and having to learn a new syntax is too.
No docs regarding syntax or syntax overview/intro either, making it hard to assess. Link to “based on Tufle CSS” is broken. As well as hidden far down but not at the end.
I read the entire frontpage and I don’t know the answer to these questions:
- What problem is this product trying to solve?
- How does this product solve the problem?
- What makes this product better than the alternatives?
I would not use this product, because of marketing reasons. I believe (I don’t remember if it’s mentioned in the frontpage) that it is free, however, I haven’t tried using it because I don’t have an answer to those questions. I’m not a marketing person, but the front page is pretty important. Specially the start of it.
Also, I don’t know what it’s supposed to look like, but I believe that the front page is broken. I’m on Android using Firefox mobile on a 2400x1080 screen.
I hope that this helps.
Hey-this is super helpful, thanks a million for taking the time- really appreciate it.
You’re absolutely right- Those three questions should be answered in the front page. Do you have any examples of tools that do that well? (feel free to screenshot or link)
Right now, I’ve intentionally kept things a little broad, because I’m still trying to learn from users like you-especially around what you think QuickPoint might be good for. But I totally see how that ends up being a bit confusing-especially if you’re not sure what you’re even looking at. I’ll tighten up the messaging!
Really helpful note on the mobile view-I’ll check Firefox Android on that resolution. Appreciate the heads up!
Is there a type of tool you do use often (for writing, sharing, collaborating, etc)?
- Office 365
- Google docs
- Libre office
- Confluence
All of those answer the questions. Sure, libre office for example relies on everyone knowing what MS office is, but it still does a good job of explaining.
Again, I don’t know exactly what your product does, but my guess is that confluence is the one that’s more similar.
Don’t need to look at your competitors though. Go to any product with a multi-million marketing budget and you’ll see how they answer the basic questions in a similar manner.
Edit:
Of course if you look at what their product page looked like before the AI bullshit ate the brains out of the tech CEOs, you would find better examples.
You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.
Well, likely not.
Fair enough! Quickpoint’s super JS-heavy right now, but I should definitely add a fallback or preview. Curious though, what would’ve made you stick around?
