Actually, we did through our YC SS network. We talked to Kan's co-founder who confirmed that lawyers do have this problem, but kind of they themselves don't know how to approach it. The reason: It's hard to make them switch and use new technology.

There is no pricing page because we haven't identified the market yet (as we wrote above). Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback!

You mean the landing page: how we pitch the product? Or video presentation?

A plugin could be an interesting option, thanks.

That’s basically what we’ve been attempting. We tried to target just one user group at a time, but everyone seemed to have their own different vision of what this should be. At this point we don’t feel too confident with spending several more months developing targeted features for someone, only to find out it was all in vain.

  “Did they actually ask you for an account to use? Did they ask when it would go live so they could pay you?”
No, they haven’t. They all missed some features before they’d be willing to commit. We realise most of these people were probably just trying to be nice :)

  “The only group I could reasonably see paying for this are the lawyers, and I don’t see it happening
  (they’re not know for being cutting-edge in tech adoption). But I’ve been wrong before :)”
Exactly, you’re not wrong, we’ve reached the same conclusion. Lawyers really suffer from this problem and see us as a potentially great solution but as one of them put it: “It took us 10 years to learn MS Word, we are not changing to something new.”

Thanks for the honest feedback!

Marketing/sales are definitely one of our biggest issues. We understand that there are many enterprise document management systems, and that is exactly why we went to those markets where companies/users cannot afford those expensive EMS, or they are simply too complex for their needs. We want to pivot, and that is exactly what this post is all about. Thank you.

I suggest unmounting Joyride component after you go through the tutorial. It makes unnecessary renders after whatever else you do (e.g. changing the content/ on save).

Maybe including "AI or Deep Learning" would boost it even more next time.

Why "React" in the post title? It's kind of irrelevant info in this case :)

Building https://tuiqo.com to try and solve a document versioning problem. We realized that even though we created a new way to do document version control and avoid "v1.doc, v2.doc, final_final.doc" problem; people won't switch to it because of lack of options such as formatting tools or any other pure editor features. We are thinking of possible pivots we could try out and we obviously don't have a product-market fit.

I agree and we will remove it. I think we will make it appear only once. The goal was to remind that you should make an account if you want to keep docs that you created since you can try it out without registering.
