On: Show HN: I built a SaaS to allow users to submit quick feedback

Not sure, never really played around with Google Forms! It's very quick to set up, you get email notifications and a nice dashboard.

[smoldesu → dshannon]

Google Forms is free with unlimited responses and equally (if not better) analytics. If I were in the industry, it would be a no-brainer which one to pick. If you're planning on entering the space, I highly recommend checking out your competitors before building a business around the concept...

Thanks, if you need something for WP I built a little plugin: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/feedback-button/

Thanks for the info. Will check these out

With chrome you can define which tab or application you would like to record, instead of the entire screen. I think that would do what you require?

Thanks! I’d love to hear how it works for you and any improvements you could suggest.

Hey all,

Creator here. ScreenRequest is a simple web based screen recording tool that allows your customer (or user) to easily send you a screen recording. I see the tool being most useful for triaging support issues. Would love to hear some feedback!

Your pricing is pretty bad. For it to be adopted, it should be like loom, flat fee per user/month and not minutes based.

[dshannon → bevenky]

Thanks for the feedback. Yep it’s definitely something to consider. Thank you

Looks very slick! What stack are you using?

[dshannon → pplonski86]

Thanks! It's a Laravel app

For sure! It's only fair to provide a discounted rate if someone is willing to pay up front.

I think what mc3 was talking about is some SaaS companies advertising their products as $X/mo when in reality the monthly pricing is more than that and $X is the cost iff you commit to an annual plan.

For example you might see pricing for $100/mo but that is only if you commit to 12 months ahead of time. Otherwise you'll pay $120/mo with no annual commitment.

Creator here. I built this API using Laravel Vapor and headless chrome to generate the documents, running on Serverless architecture for scaleability. Service aims to make document creation easy.

[mtmail → dshannon]

Add that to the title!

The service looks really great, it solves a problem, it looks ready to be used in production, market that. "docamatic makes document creation easy using HTML template and an API" or such.

HN is fairly technical audience but the tools you used are secondary.

My feedback: Terms-of-service say it's based in the UK, privacy policy talks about safeguards when data travels from Europe to outside Europe. I think that might need to be updated to the GDPR regulation that came into effect last year.

[dshannon → mtmail]

Hey, thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated. Yes I think my copy needs a little tweaking. I spent a lot of time working on it. One of the underestimated parts of any project!

Regarding the GDPR, I have built the product with this in mind and basically operate on a less is more principal when it comes to data. There is quite a lot of bits and pieces to go through, so wanted to make sure everything there was solid before advertising as GDPR compliant.

Cheers!
