Tried it out, and it’s pretty cool! Nice work on making things look good.

The landing page - it feels a bit corporate. Seeing the cookie stuff feels like a bit much for this stage. I get that it might be needed though. The testimonials feel phony, and like they’re in too many places. Though again, I get that you gotta have something to break up the space.

I like that it surfaces the pitch for CI, and explains it. The paragraph sections feel dense tho, imo could use some more whitespace and possibly a cut back on the word count.

What I don’t see featured right up front is the supported languages! As a potential user, that’s the first thing I want to know. That’ll be a better selling point you support more. But I’d say prioritize getting a few videos for many languages, and putting it in focus.

Also, when I was first scrolling through, it kicked me to a loading spinner when I was halfway down the page – maybe carousel hadn’t loaded in yet? Not sure what it was going on, but it was jarring.

Enough nitpicking the marketing page though, I did sign up for and log into the actual app. Love that it makes it easier to find these videos. I’ve tried searching Comprehensible Input [Language name] before and trying to sift through Youtube, it can be a mess. Having it ogranized and cataloged for each language is great, and I look forward to seeing this expand.

First thought - I’m not personally a fan of infinite scroll. Would it be possible to add an option for paging, or a button to refresh? It’s already randomized, so the scrolling isn’t exactly going down a certain progression. At one point I saw a video I wanted to watch, clicked to a different page, then tried to come back… only to realized I’d have to filter/search to find it again.

Guessing it’s on the roadmap - but is there a plan to add saves (watch later)? Seems like it would be useful. Maybe could be done as a custom playlist or similar.

Clicking on tags - there’s a delay when I do this. It’s probably less than a second, but feels like forever in UI. It’s enough that I have time to think “Oh, the click didn’t take, let me try again” and do another click. At first I thought I had to double click to open it. But I do love that you’re tagging these things - organization and curation is your biggest value-add, so really hone in on that. Playlists too - right now it looks like they’re just the ones from the channels you embed, but there’s probably opportunity there to make some custom playlists that focus on curating certain interest, topics, or language skills.

There are a lot of tags - some of them maybe even seem too specific. I wonder if there’s room to prune some of them? On a similar note, it takes quite a long time to scroll through them - it’d be nice to be able to browse multiple columns of them at once. Tho I understand the type-ahead box is the main way to find them. After scrolling for a while (at least in German), eventually some are out of order - it shows “Youtube” then “Activities”, then goes in alphabetical order again up to I.

Progress tracking has a ‘days you practiced’ indicator. Might be nice to see some kind of calendar visualization here. Anyway, I really really like that you can manually add input time from outside of the app. Progress is the other big selling point, so whatever ways you can find to flesh that out would be good.

I think a limited watch time for the free tier is a huge stretch, considering that this is aggregating Youtube videos. That’d just drive me to leave and watch them on Youtube, or some alternative front-end. I do think it makes sense to limit the amount of progress tracking though. Imo that seems like a hook to get people in - let them track progress free for a week or two when they sign up, then stop tracking it until they subscribe to a paid tier.

Not sure on what a fair price would be… I’d say low low, subscription fatigue is very real, but apparently a lot of people still sign up for stuff. Personally, there’s such a wealth of free learning resources out there, that I rarely pay for any, unless I’m buying a physical object (book), or someone’s direct attention (class, tutor). If I were to pay for a service, I’d only be interested in a one-time purchase for a pretty low price. I realize that’s not helpful and I don’t want to be discouraging… wish you the best of luck turning it into something profitable. It does seem like you’ve done good work. But it’s a pretty tough one, considering that you’re somewhat competing with free Youtube videos, but also with things like https://app.dreaming.com/ and https://cijapanese.com/ that both run a site and make the videos.
