I'd highly suggest getting a designer, or somehow thinking with more of a product mindset? I fail to understand what it does quickly, which shouldn't happen to a potential customer.

11k daily users is very good even without this so-called "product mindset"!

  • The dev is asking on the site for people to support the development with subscriptions, but they say here they have basically zero subscribers. So 11k daily users hasn't translated to something that people want to actually pay to support. That could change.

No, please. Don't inflate the team to something that would need investors. It's cool that an alter-Web can exist without 10 person teams.

  • If you're making enough money, you can hire a designer every now and then to tell you where your UX suffers and how to fix it. No investors necessary.

    (or: just solicit feedback in a space frequented by designers, and harness the power of being wrong on the internet ;)

  • It is very straightforward to hire UX designer in a contract, or even just ask ChatGPT to design an interface that is better than a software engineer's minimum effort (and possibly experience) in UX.

And what currency is it in? Seems so odd to not put it in dollars or euros.

And FURTHERMORE, the $ sign is incorrectly to the right of the numbers. It should be $10. Personally, this shows such a lack of product thinking, and simply hacking away at a tool instead of delivering a service.

  • I mean, it does clearly say it's 1,000₽ which is Russian rubles. Why would the price be listed in dollars if it's not being collected in dollars?
