Show HN: Announce New Features to Your Users (with Pirates and Astronauts) (featurekit.co)

Reposting today to ensure I don't miss out on Kevin's offer to review some of the Show HN posts. Thanks in advance (if you get to mine)!


I like your product, I think kevin would too since he mentioned a "product feature update" page was loved by wufoo customers.

It seems pretty straight forward both from an installation standpoint and for my users. My question is what is down the road?

Are you thinking maybe about maybe different UI options to display the "feature updates"?


Thanks! I think I learned a lot about product design from Wufoo.

When I originally mocked-up the interaction I imagined a second, slightly more minimal version (http://codepen.io/kidGodzilla/full/qdLRzb/), & the app generates a "dev blog" from your updates (http://featurekit.featurekit.co).

I also imagined it would be a bit like statuspage.io - You could definitely create it yourself, but would gladly take an off-the-shelf solution if it had good defaults.

I think I could probably keep adding equally-useful widgets if this gets some validation from users.


yeah i think your definitely on track with this, no sense in spending extra dev time if the different UI's are not asked for.

I'll keep playing with it this weekend. I'll ping you if I think of anything else :)

If you have 4mins mind giving me some quick UI/UX feedback on my project? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10062700


Definitely. Thanks for your feedback!
