This looks a fair amount like Guildwork (http://guildwork.com/), which I remember trying to do a fairly similar thing a few years back (but aimed more specifically at MMORPGs, I think). The founder of Guildwork is actually the CTO of Discord now. It's good to see someone else working on a similar idea, I think it's a space with a lot of potential.
Guilded looks really nice from what I can see while clicking around the site randomly a bit. Congratulations on getting it to the beta stage, it looks extremely impressive for something to have built mostly solo.
One fairly minor suggestion: I think it would probably be good to replace some of the screenshots in the carousel at the top of the landing page with more carefully selected ones. They're the very first "glimpse of the site" for someone new visiting guilded.gg, so they're the first impression of what the site will be like. And the very first thing they see right now is the Dota 2 screenshot with a large "So tired of laning with bads". Then it cycles to the WoT one that's also showing someone complaining. I think that just gives a bit of a negative initial feeling. Also, if Overwatch is one of your main focuses, having a screenshot in there with something more in-depth than "Overwatch RELEASE!" would probably help to show that off as well.
What's funny is I got rejected from YC with Guildwork years ago. After flailing around trying to make it work I reflected on why it didn't work, Discord was the result. :)
Ha, interesting. Glad to see you doing so well with Discord, I used to spend a ton of time on the BG forums back in around 2009 or so, and vaguely remember giving some feedback on the very first versions of Guildwork.
I'm a pretty avid gamer. I play Dota 2 pretty regularly, among manay of the other games listed on the front page. I'm definitely within the target audience.
I recoiled at seeing "So tired of laning with bads" plastered on the front page. If this is the kind of attitude I should expect from people on the site, I'm absolutely not interested.
I've updated the landing page, let me know if you think that's better. I shared with the Dota2 subreddit a while back and this is the first time I've heard that sentiment, so I hope we can avoid over-generalizing based on one satirical sentence.
Great feedback, thank you. Somewhat ironically in Guildwork's case, I think that the potential in this space has really increased in the last few years as gaming services like Discord (and Twitch, Steam, etc.) have built up robust public APIs that allow you to manage all of your gaming networks at a higher level. And yeah, I agree that the screenshots are in need of a refresh, I'll be taking a look at that again soon.
