Ask YC: What kind of Intro Page for your App?
So I've developed a neat little app that manages Agile projects. Version 1.0 is simple as can possibly be to get the job done. Basic ASP.NET stuff, with ugly postbacks and all.<p>I've got users, and they're pretty much happy. We're reaching the point where the site is functional from the beginning to end of an Agile project. (BTW, not to toot my horn, but 4 weeks to alpha, 7 weeks to full beta, single developer coding after work)<p>Question is -- now that I'm thinking about moving from a private beta into a more public beta, how to go about it? Step 1 is replacing the main page with an introduction page. Anybody got hints/clues about that?<p>Step 2 starts getting into PR, and I can wait on that. I was just interested in examples of good home pages for something like this. Should I do a video tour of the app? Screenshots? Free accounts for anybody who happens by? Or maybe one of those serial-number invite deals? Big colorful flashing boxes with all-cap text (I'm thinking probably not)<p>Ideas? Suggestions?
