What is Podscan? 🤔

Dub.co is the open-source link management infrastructure for modern marketing teams. With Dub.co, you can create, share, and track short links using your own custom domain.

Things I Like 👍

Before we go roast the startup, let's take a look at some of the things I like about Dub:

Dub is open-source.

Modern Tech Stack

Free plan available

First Impression 😎

It is directly clear what you can do with Dub, you can even create a short link directly on the homepage!

" Very clean website, very easy to use."

Technical Roast 💻

While Dub presents a polished front-end, we did some digging under the hood and found some areas that could use improvement. Below, you can see the results:

Security

  • DNSSEC
  • Security.txt
  • IPV6 support
  • HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)

SEO

  • Basic SEO rankings (but lot oppertunities for shortlink keyword optimization)
  • All photos Have alt tags
  • Mobile-friendly design
  • Open Graph tags

Performance

  • Good initial load time
  • Image lazy-loading
  • Minified CSS and JS
  • CDN Caching

Roasting the Website 🌐

Dub.co has a clean and modern website design, but there are several areas where it could be improved.

Above the Fold

Before Screenshot

Current Website

The website gives a busy appearance which can be overwhelming for some visitors.

After Screenshot

Website with changes

Replaced the 🔥 with a👋 goodbye web emoji.
Moved the #1 AI photo app under the signup box.
Gave the text more space..
Removed the New label and added a Signup/Login title.
Changed the by Levelsio footer background color to gray instead of white.e.

Make the detailed images example interactive:

Before Screenshot

Detail images

Not bad, but think better with a slideshow..

After Screenshot

Detail images as a slideshow

Made the images interactive with a slideshow.

Header Menu

The header is clean, which is great. It also has all important links, and the logo is pretty fun because it keeps moving.

Before Screenshot

Because the header has no shadow, sometimes when scrolling the text is not always clear to read.

After Screenshot

If you add a shadow, the menu links are always visible.

Frequently asked questions with Borders:

Before Screenshot

The F.A.Q sections appear to be floating because there are no borders.

After Screenshot

Add borders so that they become sections.

Pricing Plans:

Overall, the pricing page looks good and it is very clear what you get. But there are some improvements that can be made.

Before Screenshot

Overall, a good pricing table.

After Screenshot

Centered the pricing header

Moved the (most popular) badge to save space.

Separated the first 2 features from the overall features using a simple HR line.

Hover Subscribe button: added shadow so it is more visible.

Improved the text of the Monthly/Yearly buttons.

Roasting the Product 💡

PhotoAI's core product - the AI photo enhancement tool - has shown impressive capabilities, but it also has some room for improvement. Let's dive into a before and after comparison of the product's performance.

First thing you see when you login:

Before Screenshot

When you log in, you need to create your first model via the sidebar.

I see a Special Offer without even testing the product, maybe it would be better to show this later or just once..

After Screenshot

Better to make creating your first AI model more central, and use the demo results as background.

Bugs and Improvements 🐛

While testing PhotoAI, several bugs and areas for improvement were identified. Addressing these issues will be crucial for enhancing the overall user experience and stability of the platform.

Bug Screenshot

Make a video dropdown

Like other sections, you cannot collapse the make a video section.

Bug Screenshot

Model is not 18 years old

While this is somewhat true (my cat is 2 years old), it still needs to distinguish between a human and an animal.

Bug Screenshot

Show always used Model

When scrolling, you can easily forget what model you are using. If you make it sticky, they can always see what model they are using.

Bug Screenshot

Select instead of Dropdown

There are many dropdowns, for a better user experience I would recommend using multi-select.

Bug Screenshot

Search Models

Make it easy for users to search for the model they like to use, instead of using the dropdown.

Bug Screenshot

Search Prompts

There are many prompts but it is hard to find what you are looking for. Add categories and search to make it easier.

Missing Features 🚧

While PhotoAI is a powerful tool, there are still some features that could be added to enhance the user experience. Here are some ideas for future improvements:

Bug Screenshot

Bulk Actions

Bulk actions allow users to select multiple images at once, such as deleting or downloading multiple photos. This feature can be useful for managing large collections of images.

Bug Screenshot

Multi-Language

To give users a more personal experience, it can be a good idea to add more languages.

Bug Screenshot

No Account Settings/Profile

When you are logged in, there is no page or display name to see which account you are logged in with.

Score and Final Words 📊
