ROAST Me, Kindly of Course, lol.

Hard truth on my July 1st PH Launch: 14 upvotes, 2 comments....ouch.

I get it though, a million launches with building being a commodity at this point. The upvotes and #1 product was never really what I was going for. It was actual honest eyes and reviews on the product and platform I've created.

We've all screenshotted a text to a friend with "tell me I'm not overreacting." Or reread a message ten times trying to figure out if you're the crazy one, or if they really did just do that.

I built reFrame from my personal life because I couldn't see the pattern I was stuck in. It reads a conversation the way a clear-headed friend would and names what's actually happening, in what you're about to send, and in what you just received. Most of us can feel when a situation or conversation has gone sideways. reFrame tells you why.

What I would truly appreciate is candid, no-filter feedback. Where did it confuse you? Where did it feel slow? (be easy on me, its serverless haha) Where did it surprise you, good or bad? Where did you go "huh, that's not right"?

I tried to make this as low-lift as possible. No signup, nothing you type is stored:

Any and all feedback is appreciated. From first impression of the landing page (which I just changed to target my market wedge of co-parents) to whether the pattern it named actually landed as true for you, and also the understanding of the educational content presented to you for your personal situation.

If you spend even three minutes in it and drop me a line, I owe you one. Thank you.

See the patterns. Break the cycle.

Hey Neal,

For starters, you're not the only one thinking this might be a useful product. I've seen people with different communication styles get into unnecessary heated conversations when all they needed was some reframing and thought 'if only there was a product like this that could help'.

On to the product:
1. it works generally fine but the analysis feels a bit obvious. what i think could potentially help is the tone includes more assurance for the user.
2. the bigger pain point i have is probably the UI. after clicking on 'reframe the message' on the homepage, 'what did they say' is hidden under 'conversation context' which was a little awkward to find since 'what do you want to say' immediately gets all the attention. might want to bring this part a bit more upfront.

I think this product has a place in the market. Your largest challenge would be getting users to see and admit that they need it, and how the subscription brings value above standard LLMs (i.e. just ask ChatGPT).

All the best!!
Jay

Hi Jay, First and foremost, thank you for not only taking the time to read my post but also providing the actual contextual feedback in your response. This is exactly the kind of viewpoint I was looking for. A cold visitor that I hadn’t demo’d the product too. You caught something that no one has ever pointed out to me. I’ve done over 50 demos and not once did anyone catch this UI, and it matters. This is one of those things where you’re in it so deep, you simply can’t see clear enough. Before I do anything, I’m going to research how to make this flow better, not only from a UI perspective, but from a UX perspective. Truly, thank you. On your first point, if you don’t mind, I have a quick question. What kind of message did you run it on when it felt obvious? As for the reassurance, if I’m understanding you correctly (please let me know if I’m off base), generally LLMs are pleasers to the user but reFrame is meant to provide truth and clarity over comfort because the user can be wrong here. So more reassurance sounds like it goes against the core values. I am grateful for you taking time out of your day to share your thoughts. Neal

Neal - congrats on launching reFrame! Regardless of the upvotes or exposure, you built it and launched it - that's more than most will do.

I took it for a spin today, and it's a very cool product - I can see various applications for it, especially in the workplace. The "how to use" flow inside is genuinely strong, especially the range of relationships you cover.

But I did notice a disconnect: the landing page leads with "kids," while the tool itself is built for way more than parenting. That's leading with the person you're talking to instead of the feeling you're bringing to the conversation. I've found the strongest positioning usually leads with the problem someone's in, not who they are, so the solution can do the work of proving it.

What would it look like if the entry point asked something like "What would you like to reFrame today?" instead and offer feelings [frustration, hurt, confusion, etc.] rather than which relationship you're in?

This way it lets the feeling drive the message, which is a more universal doorway in.
