Rate my startup: CarSpy
- layzphil 15y agoLooking for some feedback on my project of the last six months or so. Basically its used car metasearch, based in the UK.
- fugoki 15y agoI don't drive so it's f* all use to me :D, however… • I can't select "Any" for the manufacturer so doing a simple search based on price isn't possible. • Having to specify the model is similarly restrictive. • Clicking through on the popular search links doesn't return a results page but instead pre-filled inputs? WTF? • Search is chronically slow… • Logo & tyre/spyglass @ bottom are inconsistent in style. Good luck with it!
- Tiomaidh 15y agoI agree with everything fugoki said, but here are some more observations: * Can't middle-click results to open in new tab (Chrome / Windows XP...if I remember I'll check it out on my laptop (Linux) when I can). * Dropdown for "Show 10/20.../All Entries" should look the same as the dropdown for make and model. * The only clue that it was UK-only was the use of PS, not USD. I could imagine people not noticing that, and being confused about the results (it took my American postal code with no problem...) * The dude in the logo has too much...jowls, or something. Maybe I'm crazy. * I predict problems with owning carspy.co and not carspy.com. * That's a slick slider you have to select the price/age/distance. Nice.
- layzphil 15y agoThanks for the comments. I was aware of most of the issues posted; its what I hoped was a minimum viable product. The results links open with a js popup - would a regular link be better? just my concern is you'd navigate away from the search results if you left-clicked. As for the .co - I can't afford a nice short .com right now, just need some funding to buy the .com!
