Give a crit, get a crit.

Find out what other makers really think of your landing page. Free: you tell one of them what you think of theirs first.

What they send you is a crit: what they understood in the first few seconds, a 1–5 rating and an answer to the one question you asked. Writing one takes about two minutes, and each one you write earns you one on your own landing page or product, at any stage, from makers who buy tools like yours. No time to give? You can pay for them instead.

New accounts also get a few on the house, so you can put your page up on day one.

How it works

Step 1

Give a crit

Open someone's page, say what you made of it in the first few seconds, rate it and answer the one question they asked. About two minutes.

Step 2

Earn Echo

Every crit you send earns one Echo. That is the whole currency here: one Echo, one crit, no points to farm.

Step 3

Get crits on your project

Put your own page up with the one question keeping you awake. Each crit costs one Echo and comes from a maker in the same spot as you.

What a crit looks like

Three parts, always in the same order. The first impression comes before the rating, so every score arrives with its reasons. The question is the one thing you wanted a stranger to tell you.

This one is a made-up example. Quietlist is not a real product.

Sample
First impression

I got that this is a waitlist tool, but not who it is for. The screenshot took a moment to load, so at first the page was just a button. Pricing was easy to find. I wanted to see one real list before signing up.

The maker's question

After signing up, would you know what to do first?

Answer

Honestly, no. The dashboard shows an empty state with three buttons and none of them says start here. Pick one and make it obvious.

Why it works

Structured

Not open-ended

Every crit has the same three parts, so you can line them up, spot the pattern and act, instead of decoding a wall of opinions.

Real makers

From people in the same boat

Every crit is written by a maker who is waiting on crits of their own. They build tools, they buy tools, and they know how it feels to ship something and hear nothing.

Skippable

Skip what you cannot judge

If a page is broken or not something you want to look at, skip it and move on. You only crit what you can actually speak to.

Buyable

When time is the scarcer thing

Some weeks you have hours; some weeks you have a card. Buy Echo when it is the second kind. It spends exactly the same.

Pricing

Earn Echo by giving crits
1 Echo per crit you send

About two minutes each. One Echo brings one crit back to your own project.

Or buy Echo
$0.50 per Echo, current price

Pick how many you want, anywhere between the minimum and the maximum. Bought Echo works exactly like earned Echo.

Give first or buy first. Either way, the crits come back.Get started
