HACKER Q&A

Is this approach to our ads silly?


We're two guys bootstrapping and have got some real traction with paying customers very quickly.

https://twitter.com/hiberlyHQ - see the the top 3 posts, which we are tempted to promote.

Are these something that'd make you want to try the app? What do you think of the website?

Are the ad silly? Yes.

Do they make me want to try whatever your product is or even go to your website? No.

The meme based ads make your product look like a joke. It is also not clear that what your product is or does. "Power up your retrospectives" means nothing to me.

Try it. If it doesn't work, try something else until you find something that does.

I don't care for memes, but I also don't use Twitter.

Your homepage makes me want to use the app. I've been in a few retros that felt like we struggled to track complaints or reach action items. This seems useful for fixing that.

I'd suggest promoting on Reddit r/agile and similar.
