5USD per employee per month? Don't you think this is way too much?


Why do you think is too much? Competitors range between 5 and 15 USD/mo/user. Some even more for Enterprise features, which we still don't have.


Lets suppose that I am CEO of company with 100 employees.

This will mean that just for the application for collecting feedback I will need to pay 500 USD per month (6000 USD yearly).

What about other crucial apps needed to run the company?

I think it might be cheaper to write such a application independently.


At the end, it will cost you a lot of money if you decide to build your own Performance Management System or any kind of SaaS application which is not the core of your business.

Please read this article "Build vs. Buy", I cannot agree more: https://blog.baremetrics.com/build-vs-buy-how-to-blow-100-00...


What have you used for displaying graphs?


I used `d3-force` library to render the graph and drew it with React in an SVG element.


Why there is no text and only images?


I assumed that the text is not important. I am showing only the pictures. I wanted to have something like Instagram for Facebook Pages. Do you think the text is important?


Yes I think that is an essential part of the content.


I will think about it. All the Facebook pages that I have seen post only pictures, not any text (definitely not important text). Can you let me know what type of pages(or which pages) post text?


Like your idea.

Maybe additionally create a gift idea generator.

Users will add products they wish to have, and other people with vote if they like them.

You can then suggest gifts for people with similar interests.


Timothy here, one of the co-founders. A gift idea generator/recommender is definitely in the works. We would use the users upvotes and lists to feed into a collaborative filtering algorithm. Thanks for the pointer!


I would use your app if your tell me the best time to post on facebook, reddit or hn.


Thanks for the feedback! We're working on integrating with Twitter at the moment; and Facebook will probably follow shortly after (given that its newsfeed algorithm does take into account post timing).

Reddit and forums like HN is something that could be a really interesting use of Prime - I'll keep you posted on our progress with that :)


Abhi3 nothing fishy? You are criticising your own idea. Your project (WiseGuy) solves the same problem. You should rather think to cooperate then to criticise other solutions.


@freeatnet Elfinite utilise not only internal but also external communities (for example facebook users). We value links based on number of shares on facebook.
