Congrats on getting a landing page up, I think you need to try and narrow down what your value prop will be. It seems a bit vague and catch-all at the moment.

Are you struggling to listen to your customer problems? Do you want to build a community and build apps for them? Do you want to release features that are not a part of the main product? Do you want to create multiple apps for the same audience and still keep those handy?

Is courtyard going to be:

  • a tool for building your audience
  • an app platform for building apps
  • a user feedback tool?

All 3 of these are good product ideas on their own but putting them into the same app is probably a mistake especially at first, I'd break them down and decide on 1 aspect you are interested in solving and focus down on that.

Although I am open that I got the completely wrong impression as to what you are thinking about building and in that case, I think you need to refine your copy and try to narrow it in on what you are building.

I'd also suggest removing the video on the landing page, it doesn't show anything except the copy you already have and it is very big. If you had some demo of the app it would be great in a video but about half the size.

Hope that helps, if you want to bounce the idea and copy around in the replies we can.

@jamesmkenny Thanks for your valuable feedback. You are right. It looks quite vague to me as well now. My main intention was to have users communicate while using some app. This way the creator gets the idea what users are thinking about the product. The second point that came in mind is that say, if the creator have multiple mini-apps, what's the point of having the same community over places? Why not have them together?!! But I think I missed the details and also validating if there's any real problem here. I'll try to validate and improvise this. Thanks

@architkshk I hope it helps, another way to look at it would be to split the ideas up and maybe do a 12 start ups in 12 months style, so take 1 part of that idea and start it off, build it for a month and then move to the next part of the idea.

Give you a chance to try and build something you could validate.
