Any guess what shitty project I will build next? 😅
Cool idea - tried it out, but it crashed on me. Curious if anyone else is able to get it to work?
I love the idea. I had issues logging in through Google and got a Firebase error.
Hey @max_ulitzky
Love the concept! Researching competitors and trends on Product Hunt for indie hackers is brilliant. Sounds like a fast and easy way to validate my ideas. Can't wait to try it!
Congrats on the launch max! I tried the product and tbh the way it has been curated is amazing just that my screen took a lot time to load the competitor's data & when you refresh sometimes it doesn't show🙌🏻
Congrats on the launch! Interesting idea. I have several ideas to be verified and I want to try them through Validator, but I have waited for more than 3 minutes and no results have been displayed yet. @max_ulitzky
Validator's automated competitor and trend research is a real time-saver. The "hardness score" feature seems like a helpful way to gauge the feasibility of an idea.
May I ask how do you protect the privacy of idea? 👀
This platform sounds like a game-changer for indie hackers, making competitor and trend research a breeze!
Just tried! Brilliant idea. The waiting page should be “it can take up to 3min” instead of “its can “ 😅minor detail tho! Would love to learn more about the algo
First of all, props for launching! Fk it ship it like it's a hackathon - congrats @max_ulitzky!
On this product, it's a great idea for folks who are making stuff. I think the point is not to see how competitive a space is, but to see how well problems are solved and which problems are solved. In fact, by researching competitors, you may even discover new problems to solve.
Then, instead of NOT making a product, you can decide what problem you think is worth solving and/or how you think the best way to solve them are.
A few feedback after checking out the product:
1. I think it would be good to show the product name vs the firebase name in the social sign in process
2. The app crashed when I'm on the new idea page after I logged in
3. It would be good to let people know that the idea research will be done in the background, and they can leave and later receive a notification when it's done. Otherwise, I'm scared that by not keeping the page active, I may lose my progress.
4. After about 10min, it's still loading. So I tried refreshing and app crashed again.
Hope this helps!
Hey Max, this is awesome! Validator sounds like a game-changer for indie hackers. How did you come up with the idea for this project?
Congrats on the launch!
My experience as a user trying it out for the first time:
> Entered the platform and noticed the missing title and favicon ❌
> Searched for the CTA. It was easy to find ✅
> Was asked to register to the platform, I was expecting that it would let me write my idea and get the results, so I tried to go back to the homepage to look for another button ❌
> Back button navigation didn't work so I left the platform ❌
Users are lazy, they won't spend too much energy on it even if the product is good for them
This is a neat idea and a good starts. I’d consider changing the headline to “Quick and easy idea validation” and rather than “hardness score” you could just use the word “Difficulty”
Congrats on the launch 🚀
Just heard about the launch of a fantastic new idea! I’m so excited! The possibilities are endless, and I can’t wait to dive in and explore all it has to offer.
Congratulations to the team behind this innovative creation. It’s always refreshing to see new tools that can make our lives easier and more enjoyable.
Here’s to many successful downloads and happy users! 🚀
I am thrilled with the efficiency and ease of using Validator. The focus on researching competitors on Product Hunt is perfect. Thank you for creating such a valuable tool. Congratulations on the launch!
