Ok, its been 2 hours :) Not sure if people are skeptic to pitch their products here :)<p>I can start, I was hoping to do it last after many entries so that it doesn't feel like an ad. If this comment gets 3 upvotes, I'll pitch my product here to start.
- What are you building?<p>Stacks is a new type of web browsing tool that builds personal search engine for you from your bookmarks. It resurfaces bookmarks you forgot about whenever you search on Google and other search engines while browsing the internet.<p>- What problem does it solve?<p>Most of us save links, posts, and bookmarks all the time. However, we almost never search through them because the search isn't that effective or convenient. Current bookmark managers and knowledge management systems require major behavior change upfront (like remembering to search in bookmarks) and ongoing manual input such as tagging, organizing, periodic decluttering. This inspired us to build something better - Stacks. We are solving the lost bookmarks problem with Stacks<p>- Whom does it benefit?<p>It is a search augmentation platform where high-performing individuals bring their bookmarks together from their browsers, read-it-later apps, social networks and favorite content platform for automatic recall.<p>- What traction do you have so far?<p>We have 2500 users and 500+ chrome installs (90% of them acquired in last 3 months)<p>- Is it live for people to try and provide feedback? (link to your product)<p>Yess! <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-and-search-bookmarks/nfjbjlpkfimhobegkcoekpkdlokjkcfj" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-and-search-bo...</a>
Problem: There are lots of forums like r/AppIdeas, r/ideas, indiehackers, hackernews etc where people post their ideas/products/landing-pages for feedback. They sparsely get any feedback as the other people on these forums are also looking for feedback, but not willing to "give" feedback.<p>Solution: Created a Discord Server where you need to give 3 feedbacks to request 1. This way it encourages people to participate in the discussion instead of just spamming their ideas.<p>Traction: 20 signups so far.<p>Link: <a href="https://discord.gg/FDDMzBnB" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://discord.gg/FDDMzBnB</a>
- What are you building?
Creating a market for high school athletes to monetize their persona online.<p>- What problem does it solve?
There are players in college but no one is serving the high school market. They're excited and grateful we are helping find sponsorships with businesses so they can monetize their personas.<p>- Whom does it benefit?
High school athletes and the businesses that do a sponsorship deal with them.<p>- What traction do you have so far?
50% MoM growth in athlete signups since June. We're proud to share we have 160+ athletes on our platform today.<p>- Is it live for people to try and provide feedback?
Liveish! We've validated their 1st sponsorships with us on our Instagram page here.<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/athletesxyz/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/athletesxyz/</a>
