This is high quality product that produces high quality media and, most importantly, it is a breeze to use (proof: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;msha.ke&#x2F;ronilan&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;msha.ke&#x2F;ronilan&#x2F;</a>)<p>However, “Make Websites from a Phone” is an illusive target. I’ve had a startup circa 2013 with a somewhat similar focus. It got to a working MVP (sort of) and VC term-sheet before it imploded. All that’s left is this video (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;68029789" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;68029789</a>). There have been multiple other teams&#x2F;products trying to crack the same nut, generally without success, or with success that is significantly smaller than what the desktop platforms (wix, strikingly etc.) have had in same time period.<p>The “You Only Link Once” and Instagram focus are a smart angle. Hope this one flys.

Wish you nothing but the best. Made an aggregator website in literally 10 clicks as I was on the toilet. Will share it on my story<p>Just my $0.02 — $9&#x2F;mo and it&#x27;s a done deal... Later.com offers that linkin.bio which starts from their $19.90&#x2F;mo plan (I use Buffer though for my agency&#x27;s marketing contracts)<p>This one&#x27;s super lightweight, can probably be optimised (if it isn&#x27;t already) to be even more lightweight. Fantastic. Join us at Reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;saas (I&#x27;m a moderator there) and tell us the story — anything u need, let me know

Honestly surprised there&#x27;s a &quot;need&quot; for this. This is the kind of thing I would shoot down as a business idea, simply from the standpoint of - nobody needs that.<p>I&#x27;m obviously wrong as there are successful examples like universe out there. But boy does it show me that I&#x27;m often completely detached from the consumer in these instances.

You need to get this on Android. For the majority of iOS users, they have access to a larger screen so will prefer creating on that. The problem this solves is less pronounced. But for emerging markets, their Android phone is the first and only access to the internet. Designing a website on a phone isn’t a novelty, it’s the only way they’ll ever move beyond social media profiles to establish an online presence.

This is a such a weird niche. Personally I love &quot;business card&quot; websites but I feel that this is not a correct way to approach this.<p>Why stick with this weird format instead of some responsive grid&#x2F;flex design? Why only limit to two slide pages? It seems like you guys reinventing wheel here and burdening yourself with unecessary restrictions.<p>I swear the first person to adapt hugo&#x2F;lektor&#x2F;pelican for casual mobile markets will strike gold. It&#x27;s a static website that you can charge like 2$&#x2F;month and still have a 90% profit margin.<p>Sorry if I come out negative but Milkshake looks a bit of a wasted opportunity here.

Messaging feedback: try leading with the imagery in your video (i didn&#x27;t play the video until reading the whole page and still not understanding what the product was):<p>- shot of instagram profile page, with highlighted link to website - shot of what that website looks like<p>&quot;oh, that&#x27;s what this is for.&quot; and maybe even more specifically: why do you need one of these? so you can sell shit.<p>In hindsight, I see how &quot;Insta website&quot; was trying to convey this, but it wasn&#x27;t clear to me that &quot;Insta&quot; was referring specifically to Instagram &#x2F;directly&#x2F;--I thought it was just millenial-hip short of &quot;instant.&quot;<p>And &quot;turn your link in bio into&quot; I at first parsed as &quot;turn your linkedin bio into.&quot; Then I was like &quot;oh I guess that&#x27;s not a typo&quot; but I still wasn&#x27;t sure which bio it was referring to and it seemed like odd phrasing.<p>Then I hit &quot;Pick a card. Cards are...&quot; and was like &quot;ugh, yep, this is very much a hip app thing i&#x27;m not going to understand.&quot; instead of leading with a vocab word and then defining it, just skip the vocab word and use its definition. &quot;Pick a page template. Visitors can swipe between your pages just like an instagram story.&quot;<p>(obviously, i&#x27;m an old soul and don&#x27;t really understand instagram. maybe &quot;card&quot; is already more familiar than &quot;page&quot; for instagram folks?)<p>good luck.

Congrats. This looks great. I had wished for something similar not a long while ago [0], and I&#x27;m really looking forward to using it. In Asia esp, commerce over IM apps is huge.<p>So, the only suggestion I&#x27;d like to give (without having used it) is that is it possible to make it so simple that folks could create websites from messaging apps like WhatsApp?<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=19772719" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=19772719</a><p>PS With Firefox+uMatrix I&#x27;m unable to view the video on your landing page. Just thought you should know if you choose to fix it.

Milkshake as a product and company looks well executed.<p>However, I wonder if these website builders are a fallacy. If you make money with your business get a team building your custom site, if not just put your opening times right on Google Business without having a website. A half-baken website also done with a builder is still work and if nobody drives by, why the hassle?<p>And most builders I know still have subpar mobile responsiveness. How is Milkshake in this regard? Are there any examples?

Had a similar idea, but did not think of leveraging Insta for this, really smart ! What about the pricing for this ?

This is how I started programming.<p>There were many mobile site builders in WAP era.<p>I did not have my own PC and it was easiest way to build something as alternative would be to go to library.<p>Good times. It&#x27;s nice this stuff is re-born.<p>This can be starting point for Young folks in programming!

Couldn’t help but laugh reading some of the comments here saying they “don’t get it” or “why doesn’t it have X feature only a developer or small business would care about?”<p>Every wannabe influencer on instagram (literally millions of people globally) is going to want one of these—-especially given the design aesthetic that hits the target market right between the eyes. We’re talking about 17 yr old kids here, not enterprise customers. The lower the friction and the more simple it is, the better.<p>This is going to take off like crazy and I’m both jealous I didn’t make it first and also sad that I’m not an investor.

I don’t have much to say about the your project itself, but I thought I’d let you know that Milkshake profiles don’t scroll right in mobile Safari–you can’t tap on the top of the screen to get the page to scroll.

From the Terms: &quot;You must be 13 years or over to create a Milkshake account. If you are under 18 years of age, you will need the permission of a parent or legal guardian (who is at least 18 years of age) to create a Milkshake account.&quot;<p>Seeing that Instagram only requires the age of 13, I wonder if teens will actually bother with permission from their parents&#x2F;guardians to use Milkshake. Or is this something that will only be enforced after being revealed as under 18? And why 18?

Sorry, but where is the value on this project? Only 2 screens, one that has your profile photo and some description with a style on it and another screen with the same link to go back to Instagram. I find this surprisingly useless but I wish you luck on your project, i hope to be wrong.

The very first thing I got to see on the website: the &quot;Watch this&quot; link obscured by the down arrow, and thus unclickable on my 1920x1080 laptop screen. This is not the first impression you want to give, especially when the product itself is about design, of all things.

\tangent Can you serve a website from your phone?<p>My mobile data provider seems to block incoming packets... (but I can receive if initiated from my phone (as in ftp), so maybe it&#x27;s just that my IP address isn&#x27;t known?) I couldn&#x27;t work it out.

Great idea! Very smart to focus it on building profile pages for Instagram users, then it&#x27;s a focused use case rather than the general &quot;make a website.&quot;<p>One suggestion: I found the whole term &quot;Insta website&quot; to be more confusing than helpful. I think of Insta as short for Instagram so it confused me to keep seeing it in another context. Honestly, I don&#x27;t think you even need to define that term. Just focus on the benefits and why the user, as an Instagram user, should want a great page linked on their profile. &quot;Get a profile page like all the top influencers...&quot;, &quot;Grow your other social profiles...&quot;, etc.<p>Just a suggestion, hope the idea works out!

You&#x27;ve had a good opportunity with your short URI. Now it doesn&#x27;t &quot;pronounce&quot; as Milkshake. If this makes sense, grab the domain, otherwise let me know

Posts saying &quot;wow, coolest ever, bye&quot; are about as constructive as posts saying &quot;boo, shit&quot;.<p>For what it&#x27;s worth I think it&#x27;s long overdue that there was a good way to produce actual websites for those who only have&#x2F;use phones. As far as I can tell though, this is much more limited in scope.
