1 pointsby ankit8412 anni fa2 comments

I am seeking some feedback on my side project Darpan[1]. It's a people directory with other features to manage leaves, wiki documents,

Potential customers: Small start-ups having 10-100 employees who mange HR processes over emails or excel-sheets. E.g. employee leaves, contacts, internal shared documents (employee manual, on boarding process, escalations, supports process etc.), annual performance review/feedback, who joined when, etc.

Upcoming Features: 1. Invitation based singup - e.g only HR can invite new accounts. OR mail domain based restriction. 2. Managing resources. who has a laptop with this serial no or where is the pager today.

What problems you are facing as founder in operating SME and what should be included? Appreciate your feedback.

I get that is probably a WIP, but you need to get yourself a proper homepage with some explanation of the product and some screen captures. Otherwise I believe nobody is going to just sign in based on your explanation of what it does.

I'd recommend you to set up a good explanatory homepage then submit it again.

Sure, will setup a homepage. I have just started with this and building MVP. I'm here to get some early feedback on how other startups are managing this.

I have just setup this small MVP for a closed community and it solves their problem of managing contacts.
