Feedback on my podcast news alert prototype 🙌

| Be notified by email if a search term appears on a podcast|

Just hacked together this protoype. Can you see yourself using it? Feel free to try it.

It's not fully fleshed out and still full of bugs, also the landing page design is simple bootstrap, so let me know if this is the wrong place to post this kind of update.

But you can set a search term and get notified by email if it appears on any of the popular podcasts.

Grateful for any feedback!

    This is pretty good idea.

    It's just searching the podcast titles and descriptions, right?
    (Not the transcript from the podcast)

    If you could search the transcripts of the podcasts this could be huge.

    I could definitely see this being useful to people looking to find influencers or bigger brands that want to track brandawareness.

    Go up market with this, would be my recommendation.

      Thanks for your feedback, @Ryden!

      Searching transcripts is definitely on the roadmap, although quite expensive to do at scale.

      If by going upmarket you mean businesses, brands or marketing agencies, I think that's a great idea for a target market.

    I have to agree with Ryden here! I think it can be pretty cool stuff.

    Some suggestions:

    1. Use a favicon for your page because the browser tab looks dull.
    2. You could increase the font-weight of your heading and subheading.
    3. You could make the search bar even bigger with more padding and bigger font-size.
    4. Increase margin at the top of heading content. Maybe around 100px or so.

      Thanks @neu
      Those are very good suggestions, I'll make sure to factor these into the next set of layout changes!

          I'm currently working on a widget for landing pages that answer most asked questions. My goal is to make it extremely easy for new stage startups to set up support. :) I use the widget on my own product's landing page. You can visit https://insteps.io

          And please let me know what you think. Well-thought criticisms are highly appreciated.
