Congratulations on your launch. I like the design and concept. Who is paying for the paypal transaction fees? Does it get added on to buyers total? Good luck and Keep it up.
Download a template from Themeforest and use that instead of what you have now. Also, you need to describe what is the website about. Add some Header text.
Sometime QA cannot re-produce some issues. This is very common in almost every company you go to. Our QA has access to log servers, and they try to provide the exception logs if they are available.
Usually I rather create new account instead of giving my facebook info for the site I do not trust.
We went with approach A and B for our site http://jackpotbuddy.com. We kept the Email+password signup to just 4 fields (Name, email, password and confirm password)
Congrats on your launch. I like the idea and the UI design is slick. Can you share more details about "It reached 250K+ members with only viral". Some pointers for rest of us would be great.
Which suggestion you followed to reach 250K member mark? Also, most of your traffic seems to be coming from Turkey. Could you explain bit about that?
Mixmastamyk, thanks for your reply. The problem is if he learns python and lands next job which is completely .Net shop or Java shop, how would python benefit him there?
Since he is in valley I think it makes sense for him to learn Core Java with test automation tools like Selenium. What are your thoughts?
Looks like you are only supporting 1 web-cam? I recently purchased a IP PTZ cam from fry's which came with its free Android, iPad and web based application.
Lumberjack, thanks for the feedback. Our current phase only supports playing in our free lottery pools where users don't spend anything. We buy all the lottery tickets and put users in the lottery pool. If our lottery ticket wins then we will equally distribute the winnings among our users of that given pool.
In the next phase the biggest incentives users will have is to create their own lottery pools and play with their friends and family members by creating private pools. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on lottery ticket to increase their chances of winning users will be able to share the cost of lottery tickets with their friends/family members. Together they can purchase more tickets, increase their chances of winnings and keep low out of the pocket costs.
Most of the information that you are asking on your website is part of the elevator pitch. By answering those questions the user will pretty much create the pitch themselves.
How about using Open-Source tools such as Jmeter to run performance test and identify the bottle neck areas. We have done that with our site http://www.jackpotbuddy.com. Initially were were getting around 25 seconds page load time for 1000 users.
We were able to reduce that to <5 seconds after identifying and fixing the issues
