Keysmith - Custom Keyboard Shortcuts (will roast for roast)

https://keysmith.app

This is our first shot at a landing page! Would love to know...

  • What do you think it does?
  • At what point did that become clear to you?
  • Most importantly, what's your biggest objection to trying it out?

... as well as any other feedback you might have.

Happy to take a look at your page too.

Thanks!

    I think it's a small utility that allows me to create keyboard shortcut based macros. This became clear to me when ready the header. My biggest objection would be that I before trying it out am already afraid I will forget those keyboard shortcuts. I would prefer (don't know if this is already possible) to have a list in my status bar maybe where I can click on the macro's I want to run. This would be super useful for me while coding.

      Right on, thanks for taking a look Trèvier!

      Really helpful to hear that objection. We actually have something that I think would address that (the Quick Launcher lets you run your macros by name), but we haven't made it clear on the landing page, so it's good to know we can improve that!

      If you're willing to share, I'm very interested in hearing more about how you'd using for coding.

        I think it would be useful for testing. Let’s say I need to test something at the end of a 10 step sign up flow. I would setup a macro to run through that flow, so I don’t have to write dummy data and click every time

          Yes!! That's actually one of the use cases my co-founder @DanielDe was using it for when we were contracting while building it!

          I think it would actually work really well for that.

          If you're interested, I'd love to hop on a Zoom call and try it out together. That way we can make sure that it works great for you and address any issues that come up. You can just shoot me a note at daniel@keysmith.app and we'll make it happen.

          And if not, that's okay too, I appreciate the feedback you've already given :).

          Cheers!

    These keys help to run some premium programs and software without any cost. I have copied some keywords from keygenwiki.

      Here are my notes from checking it out:

      • Before clicking the link, I'm guessing from the name it's something that would let me put something like the "Buy Now" button Amazon has.
      • Looking at the headline, I don't know what a "product based checkout page" is. How is that different from a normal check out page? Maybe that's a term whoever you're targeting knows, but it made me feel like maybe this product isn't for me.
      • I like the purple / gray color theme, but there's something about the placement of those purple stripes and the text that feels off to me. Like the text is trying to avoid the stripes, but not totally successfully.
      • On my 13-inch screen, I see the email field but the button is below the fold. That looked weird to me.
      • When I read "We're happy to announce that we are launching soon!" I thought that meant the product isn't ready. But from the buttons ("Send me a beta invite") it sounds like actually your product is ready, it's just in beta. I'd recommend re-framing to say that the product is launched in beta, rather than it's launching soon.
      • If you have images of your product, definitely add them. I can't imagine being wowed enough by a text-based promise that it's gonna be awesome to give my email address.

      Hope that's helpful! Good luck!

        Thank you for the feedback, interesting insights. I will definitely work to improve it.

        Happy building 😁
