| Remember when Facebook looked like this? |
We are launching our alpha version of our product today and we are pretty excited to get the most basic version of our application out there for people to fiddle around with.
We are currently looking for fellow Hydras to find:
Feedback!
We want your feedback on every inch of the website. Despite the fact it will look dramatically different (check out the screenshot on the macbook) we want all types of input ranging from functionality to visuals!
Lists!
In order to curb the potential intimidation with no existing lists, I'd like users to simply enter what they have done today (in seperate lists). Whether it be making dinner, working out, or working on a project around the house, post it and let's fill it out!
Anonymous Fun!
Sounds a little 80s motel theme night, but we mean it! We want users to enjoy the fun beginnings of an Alpha stage product and post anything they'd like to under an anonymous disguise. We are going to roll out user accounts with our beta launch so have at it! Inappropriate posts will be considered for moderation but as for now, anything goes.
-
To those who are confused on why we'd release such a basic product out there that is quite ugly, we are pretty much diehard fans of the Lean Startup methodology and Eric Ries (www.startuplessonslearned.com) has a model that essentially forces you to release early and update often. Consider our Alpha product like a bit of playdough, morph and play with it and build what you want out of it. We'll hit the ground running with a cast mold of what the users come up with when we launch the Beta :)
