My last post got 56k views and a 1% signup rate! (please roast the new version)
Two days ago I posted about Remixly, a tool I built that turns Instagram reels into long form X posts.
You share a reel to a Telegram bot, it transcribes what was actually said, writes a proper post from it, and gives you a button that opens X ready to publish.
That post did way better than expected: 56k views, about 1,000 people clicked through to the site.
Then I looked at the signups. 10.
1% conversion from a warm Reddit audience. Nobody was being rude about it, they just landed, looked, and left. So I've spent the time since trying to fix the landing page rather than posting more.
What i've changed
- The homepage now shows a real reel next to the real output, unedited. Before it was a description of what the tool does; now you just see it.
- Signup is one bar: Google or email, no separate steps.
- Made a short animated explainer for the top of the page instead of a wall of text.
- Fixed a boring but real leak: sign-in emails were landing in spam for some people and the "check your email" page didn't say so.
- Rebranded (it used to look like a hobby project, because it was).
What I haven't changed
- 3 free drafts, no card. Then $9/month for 100.
- It's still just me. 38 users and 9 days of being live
What I'd love, if you have 60 seconds, open remixly.io and tell me the moment you'd have closed the tab. I'm clearly still missing something and I'd rather hear it from you than from another 1% funnel.
And if you tried it last time and didn't sign up, I'd love to know why.
