My impression of your product is that it requires much less explanation than is given. It seems that one of the biggest differentiators of the product is an emphasis on Dart.
Hi, sorry for the late reply, I had a busy day yesterday.
Thanks for the article, it was an interesting read. I think Sourcevoid is not quite as complicated to explain as photoshop but at the same time a bit more complicated by nature than something like a social consumer app.
I do believe the "in app" onboarding experience is important, we have tried to do that in a similar way as it is suggested in the article. I want to make it even better and I think we can and should continue to improve the onboarding experience over time.
You do have a good point, it might become a little bit too verbose maybe. On Dart emphasis, the beta page might give that impression, and we do have a lot of Dart experience, but at the same time the service does support Nodejs just as much.
What I was trying to express is that there are few sites catering to the Dart community relative to the number of sites catering to Nodejs users. My impression is that the Dart community is more closely knit than that of Nodejs.
Perhaps supporting Dart is something that can differentiate Sourcevoid among many somewhat similar sites?
I understand, that is a good observation. The Dart community is more closely knit, however the Nodejs community is a lot bigger and in a way is built up of multiple subcommunities around various frameworks and tools.
I like to think that it does yes, but I also like to think that we differentiate ourselves in more ways than that. Making that clear to the customer is of course a challenge but we are working on it and feedback like yours are valuable in that process.
