Hi Product Hunters! I am Dominic from Cologne, Germany - one of the co-founders of pingdeck.com. Great to be here today! What is pingdeck? pingdeck is a platform that lets you build a mini-website (we call it ping) in no time. Step 1: Just upload a background image or choose one from beloved 😘 unsplash.com. You can also search adored 🤗 giphy.com to find a appropriate animated gif as your background - all inside pingdeck. Step 2: Enter a title, a short message and - if you like - create up to three link buttons. Done! Your ping goes live with one click. Actually, Stephans (co-founder) record for creating a (decent) ping is 16.42 seconds. Pretty fast for building a (mini-) website, hm? What makes pingdeck so special? All pings have sharing-superpowers. That means, you can share a ping almost everywhere with max. three clicks and they always look cool. Beside Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and email you can even share them via SMS and beautifully via WhatsApp on mobile. With forthcoming iOS 10 and its new ‚rich link preview’, pings will also look awesome inside ‚messages’… - Try to share a ping-URL on slack..! 😎 Last but not least: WHY? Well, we thought everybody should be able to build a stunning, super-shareable website with ease - in no time - for free. Imagine a band creating a ping for their next gig - including a link to their new music-video on Vimeo, a link to their album on iTunes Store AND a link to buy a ticket on Eventbrite… It would take them maybe two minutes to create such a ping and they could share it (and let it share!!!) among multiple networks and platforms. Curious? Then give it a spin on https://pingdeck.com and let us know what you think. We’d love to answer you questions! Happy pinging!

@dmuellr Just curious - how does this stack up against something a bit more advaced, yet still small, like http://www.adsy.me/ ? Thanks.

Hi @sorinamzu i had a closer look at adsy - and our approach is a bit different. by creating pingdeck.com we focused on minimum effort to create a beautiful website and maximum share-ability across social networks and services. adsy offers an editor to create a website, more like squarespace and wix. pingdeck.com lets you choose a background image an paste your text - and thats it. does this answer your question? cheers Stephan

Wow. Was not expecting that. This is the EXACT opposite of dumb. Really impressive, sparse flow, giving just enough info to get you through to the next step - leading to a pretty pleasant surprise. Simple & beautiful. Well done, team @pingdeckHQ @dmuellr

This is such a cool idea. It's simple, minimal, intuitive, creative, and fun. Your audience might be minimalists or those who appreciate simplicity. I love it, and going to create a PingDeck!

Very cool, the only bummer was the 6 character minimum on names. I'm @tsudo most everywhere. Minor annoyance for a very useful product.
