WebDeck

@kingliv_ thanks for the info. Was about to be critical on something else, but with this added perspective, I have little else but praise to give these developers.

@kingliv_ @andym_dc Thank you and everyone else for all the great advice and support!! The team is all eighteen and under, I myself and 14. WebDeck was hatched about 9 months ago but the app itself wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the Make School, so our first launch was just something to present at a demo day for the academy. The promotion now is to build a base of people who are interested in our core values as we progress and make a product that revolutionizes the tech space. Thank you though, we appreciate the support!!

@andym_dc @kingliv_ — a huge thank you to the both of you. As said above, this is just our first release to get the core idea out and the upcoming updates will include a simpler design overhaul and many new and fluent features which are sure to compete with the Notification Center of apples products. I can only ask that you please keep the app downloaded so that you can see the amazing updates that are to come, along with our web version which is to be released soon.

@matthews_bear sure thing, will look forward to it. Might I suggest some UI beautification? I think there was an app on here just recently called Relevant which is what I'm thinking of. Happy to watch y'all progress tho. And make sure youre having fun doing it!

@andym_dc absolutely! That is something that I am keeping close on my radar, and looking to improve in every second I get. We simply wanted to get the core idea out on paper, (or in this case on an app) and then make the major design overhauls later to allow the app to be as easy on the eye for the user as possible!

@rrhoover thanks for the feedback!! That is definitely something that is on my radar and although our product may still be young, I don't like to use that as an excuse. We hope you like the change once we come out with our update in the weeks to come, which will include new fluent features and a simple 'easy on the eye' design overhaul!

@rrhoover Thank you!! The website is definitely getting changed, as is the app. I appreciate the feedback and hope you see the site and app when they are done!!

@dylsteck Just a heads up: The App Store link added isn't working. I had to go to the Website link, then tap App Store to see it.

@imakestrides Sorry about that, there was a small complication when I was submitting to Product Hunt. Thanks for the heads up!

@xanderschultz @bentossell You definitely bring up a great point. Our first launch isn't where we want our final to be but hope that in the future we can bring value by not only displaying data, but making the best out of it and really utilizing all of the great services on the web. Thank you though, as everything is definitely taken into consideration!

@dylsteck You still didn't really answer his question. Why would someone use WebDeck when Today easier to use, more customizable, and accessible anywhere on the OS? WebDeck being available on all platforms would be great, but it would still be a pain to close the app I'm in, find WebDeck on my home screen, open it, wait for it to load, and then be able to see my stuff. Another question I have: are you going to allow third party developers to integrate with WebDeck and make widgets?

@samwightt Good questions. Yes, third party developers will eventually be able to integrate into WebDeck. We want WebDeck to be a platform where anyone can easily access all of their info. Also, you said why would someone use our service instead of the dropdown today. Thank you for asking that question. It might seem like for now it might be easier to get to your today pulldown, but WebDeck doesn't want to be just a place you can pulldown and see information that only certain services have built into. We would like to solve that problem in the future by building a widget for the today pulldown that shows all of your WebDeck services, even though that's not what we are trying to build. People will want to use our service to see everything and eventually take a deeper look into data if they want to without opening an external service. WebDeck will also thrive across platforms because other platforms need a service like WebDeck. Thank you for the question, though, I hope I answered your question well :)

@samwightt Thank you for the advice!! We are a young product and take all criticism and advice into consideration. I definitely do think you bring up some valid points, and our first launch definitely isn't amazing. By next week, we should have a launch out that fixes many of these problems to make the user experience better and crisper, integrating new services, on boarding, and changing the interface. Thank you for the advice, though!!

@dereksilva Thank you!! We definitely have work to do on our interface and main drive for the future, and there will definitely be a large update next week with an upgraded interface and more services, but we hope down the line we can turn WebDeck into a necessity for your computer and mobile device, something that is unique and set apart from other competitors. Thank you for the feedback!

@gabrielstuff I can see how you might think that what we are trying to achieve is close to Netvibes because of the whole dashboard thing. We aren't trying to build their services or many of the things that it entails. We are trying to build a place for users to quickly see all the information they need to get through their day, get the most out of that data, and see it across all platforms.

@dylsteck Hi ! Well this looks ambitious and I remember that it use to be the target of net vibes. But the time is new, and the audience is certainly more inclined to this kind of aggregator ! Have a big journey!

@gabrielstuff thank you!!!
