I don't think they are communicating the benefit or the purpose in an accessible enough manner.


Appreciate the feedback, would love to get your takes on this description, what are we still missing?

Hoop.dev keeps sensitive data safe and checks important changes to make sure they're done right. It hides sensitive data in databases automatically and turns repeated tasks into easy, automatic ones. It also helps teams fix problems quickly by connecting with chat tools like Slack and MS Teams.


Take it out of the abstract and give me one crystal clear example.

For context, I'm CTO of a gaming startup that uses a Kubernetes cluster to host online multiplayer videogames, and when I read your github and product landing page, I still have no idea who or what this is for. Seems like its targetted for enterprise cloud architects or something. Someone who works on clusters more advanced than ours. Thats fine, but my feedback is simply that I'm no beginner and your landing page basically goes right over my head.

Also, to make people _switch_ from one solution to another, you have to be more than a little bit better, you have to be WAY better. Especially for enterprise clients. To make a enterprise client change their cloud architecture is probably a hard sell, because of the risk involved. Why should anyone attach their professional credibility to your project? I think basically what I'm saying is, you gotta do more to sell this thing.

It sounds technically advanced, but I think you gotta take off your engineer hat and put on your sales hat and make me want it. Or if not me, than make _someone_ want it.
