Show HN: Mowish, movie reminder.
mowish.comHey it's freakin cool! Sure, I'm one of the creators of mowish.
So you tout the ability to "Explore movies for your taste." as something that's possible with a free account, but upon signing up require a paid subscription for said feature. I understand you want to monetize the service, but not being outright to your users isn't cool.
Yes you're right! Thanks for pointing this out, we'll address this issue somehow.
Any suggestions for working around this? How should we highlight the paid benefit and show that creating your list is basically free at the same time?
You should make it clear that it's a freemium model. I don't know how effective you can sell the "premium" part of the site though, considering the only reason I signed up was to see movies that I might like - but wouldn't be willing to spend money each month on. Maybe if it offered more than just movie recommendations - or at least do it significantly better than the other services out there.
That makes sense! We've just launched so we'll reconsider this part, that's for sure. Thanks for the valuable insights.
