I've deployed my first app: BetaBoom. http://betaboom.com<p>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.<p>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.<p>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. :)
Congratulations on launching! That itself is a huge milestone and sets you apart from a lot of people.<p>The site looks nice. I didn't have time to create an account to see the inner workings yet. My initial thoughts are:
1) Screen shots of the internals. I.e. if I submit my app, what do I get. I don't want to have to submit it to see if the BetaBoom will be useful to me.
2) I'm not sure that you have a strong enough reason for testers to want to join. I regularly test apps posted here because I know how valuable the feedback is. I don't do it because I want free access to the site/app. It is about being part of the community and helping each other out.
3) Because of #2, I don't know if you will be able to get critical mass to have a usable service
4) Are you planning on making this a business? If so how will you make money?
