hi,
gutmeet.com is my weekend project and can anyone tell me what do you think?
I understand that there are similar services out there but I am trying to make one that I personally would actually use, simple and clean. My objective is to create a one page form that lets me coordinate everything simple enough even my mom can use it for family gathering.<p><a href="http://gutmeet.com">gutmeet.com</a><p>I'd like to seek critics on:
is it complicated? or too simple? not helpful at all?
why you don't find it interesting?
what is not right?
What else would be nice to have and make you come back etc?
or I have just wasted my weekend?<p>I am seeking critics from web savvy users as well as grandmas. It doesn't hurt me if you find it 100% useless as it is just something I want myself.<p>Thanks for the time.
You are attacking a good problem - organizing events. However, right now I'm hung up on the name - I can't picture someone recomending 'gutmeet' to their friends. It makes me think of the inside of a butcher shop.
I think it's a nice, useful app. This could be a really cool facebook app as facebook's event planning doesn't allow for gathering individual's preferences. I'd use it on facebook, to be honest.<p>I really like how you convey the purpose of your site by showing users the steps, and the steps you outline makes me understand the value of your service. My only question is about how the responses are stored, as there isn't any sort of log in screen, unless it generates a unique url (I haven't created a gutmeet). The site could be redesigned in a much more modern and fresh look. Please get rid of that font for the logo :P. Maybe a better name could serve well. Gutmeet makes me think of someone eating a chunk of my intestines.<p>Congrats, though. Really consider a facebook app. I think something like your service, with more features, can turn into a full fledged event planning network that supplements the crap facebook provides.
The front page you have now should be the help page. I think the front page ought to be just two big loud buttons: create a meeting or find a meeting (and small text "click here to learn how to use gutmeet").
oohh.. some design issues. Awful font for logo, please don't use that. The font you used for your buttons are also ridiculous.<p>Stick to the basics, helvetica or arial.. they'll carry you a long way in terms of making your app look simple and unobtrusive.
Accidentally went to gutmeat.com at first. Not bad. I thought the screenshots were live and broken at first. Need some sort of obvious wrapper/fade around them. Where is the list of events for other people to read?
Very cool site; the type of thing that I do all the time and never considered could be automated.<p>The design of the site could be improved by making it less wide. Not all users run their apps fullscreen.
