Hi everyone! I built SwearBy, and I was initially inspired by how frustrating it was for my wife to find influencers' referral codes. She'd have seen an Abercrombie discount on Instagram, but she'd be unable to remember where she saw it when she wanted to buy.
I figured that if you could access friends' and influencers' commentary related to a specific webpage (or even any app, like the Abercrombie app), that would be helpful.. and cool!
I hadn't seen anything like this before, though I know Marc Andreessen had a feature called "Annotations" for Mosaic that he once considered (see thread: https://x.com/colinjpower/status...). In any event, I'd love to hear what you think! :)
Hey Colin,
I think this is a cool idea -- congrats on shipping!
Some feedback from my first uses:
- Oauth would be nice, though the current auth flow is fine, it would remove a bit of friction
- I think having an onboarding flow that sets me up to use the app better might yield more conversion.
for example I download the app and create an account, but I dont really know what happens when I post/comment.
(I think i made a page "live" but im not sure how to comment on the page, or share the link with a friend to try and onboard them)
I think what I am looking for is a really clear example of the ideal use case, and making it obvious and frictionless as possible for me execute that flow. possibly an arcade demo or something similar when i open the app for the first time.
best of luck, and congrats again on shipping!
