Email is [redacted]. HMO:

Just launched [redacted], an automated gift shopping service.

1. Would like to ask someone questions about it. (Would you use it? What kinds of gifts would you like to see offered? How do you keep track of gift-giving? Is it a pain point for you?)

2. Would love beta testers and feedback.

Let me know how I can help. I'm happy to answer questions, beta test things, or give programming advice (esp. anything about web development).




This is a cool idea. This isn't really a pain point for me but I immediately thought of a couple of people in family (aunts) who are very active gift givers in a large family. I would imagine mother's with small children would be a target market for you (they tend to have to keep up with a lot birthdays). But that's just an assumption. With that said, I would suggest making the site for friendly for non-technical users. I think the "bot" terminology would lose them.

With that said, I'll bookmark your site and pass it along to people I think would be your users.


Maybe you're right about the "bot." I was imagining a cute, squeaky little robot, but hm...

Awesome, thanks very much!
