Show HN: Griddd – Create a digital presence in minutes

[anhphong]

https://griddd.co

I built griddd as an alternative to platforms like Linktree, Bento.me. It helps professionals and creatives showcase their work and personality through a single, elegant link.

We'd love your feedback on the user experience and what features you think we should add next. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Early bird offer: The first 100 users get lifetime access to our Pro plan (exclusive early access to new features).

I like the idea of this, and similar portals..

$10 a month though, I mean you can host a complete website for that - and no I don't mean like rsync vs dropbox - the gap is much smaller with all the one click apps and such out there, and having total control vs whatever things you don't control by having your stuff on x y or z page publishing...

I believe you could sell this at $1/month via $12 per year, and offer ancillary services as addons to make more dough from the same audience.

Can't see myself trying to explain to people to find my profile out Grid, Dee, Dee, Dee dot COE not dot COM - and expect anyone to remember it..

linktree and about.me have a better shot at that.

Maybe something helps associate an image with a DD Grid Company? I dunno.

random thoughts since I want something like this to be good.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback!

I'm always considering the pricing strategy and appreciate your suggestions. I'm also exploring tiered options to meet different needs.

As for branding, naming is difficult, but I'm trying to find a more memorable and user-friendly domain.

Your input is valuable as I continue to improve the service.

You should showcase the product itself, right now I have 0 idea how it looks like. Is the price monthly, yearly, onetime? FAQ told me to send an email, but the email itself it hidden in the footer.

Thanks for your feedback!

I added a screenshot to the homepage so you can see exactly what griddd offers. Take a look and let me know what you think!

I've also made the contact email more prominent for easier access. I appreciate your input to help griddd improve!

I use bento.me as my main portfolio and all in one link platform, the issues that I faced:

1. Grid ratios are limited. 2. Analytics could be better. 3. There is not background customization.

But what I love about it is unlimited links at free tier. Maybe integration or extra service for paid users.

[anhphong → AliMammadli]

Thanks for your feedback on griddd!

The features you mentioned are on my development roadmap.

I'm refining the pricing tiers, including the free plan, and your input on unlimited links is helpful.

I aim to provide great value while growing sustainably. Your insights are valuable for improving griddd.

There's no examples on what these profiles look like and i'm not going to sign up to find out.

When I sign up and click the email verification nothing happens.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with email verification. I'm looking into this specific issue right now. Something went wrong with the magic link.

In the meantime, could you please try Signin with Google?

No example or prototyping or even a video show handwaving of what the product does.

It is like trying to be selling the New York City's Brooklyn Bridge to some poor hapless foreigner, sight unseen.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I fully understand your frustration, and I sincerely apologize for the lack of clarity in the initial presentation.

I've taken your comments, along with others I've received, very seriously. In response, I've added a screen capture to the site.

I'd appreciate it if you'd take another look and let me know if this change addresses your concerns or if there's anything else I can clarify.

Thanks for helping me improve griddd!

Could you double check that you haven't used a url for the example that only you can see? There is a large cyan box on the home page with nothing in it. Looking in the dev tools I see an image that goes to previews.dropbox.com/... if I go directly to it I get a 401 error page

[anhphong → khaoztopsy]

Thank you for your feedback. I have double-checked and updated the link for the example.

The issue should be resolved now. Please let me know if you encounter any further problems.

[dian2023]

Would be great to see what it looks like! Are you able to share that?

[jonas_kgomo]

this is basically a direct copy of the startup that got purchased by linktree right?

[anhphong → jonas_kgomo]

You're right that the current features are similar to Bento.me.

However, I have plans to develop unique functionalities that will differentiate griddd in the future.

My goal is to evolve beyond the basic concept and create a more comprehensive platform.
