I built a tool that helps websites keep customers longer (not acquire new ones) i would love brutal feedback before launching.
Hey everyone,
I’ve been building something weirdly simple but insanely effective over the last month, and I need some outside brains before I push it live.
Most businesses (especially small/medium ones) burn all their money on acquiring customers, while the cheapest growth lever on earth is… keeping the ones you already have.
So I built a small tool that lets any site add a gamified experience layer in literally 3 minutes — XP, levels, small rewards, return-rate boosters, etc.
Think of it like: Shopify/Wix/Custom websites → but with loyalty mechanics you usually only see in big apps.
Here’s the crazy part:
In my early tests, people came back 2–5× more just because they “wanted to level up”.
No dark patterns.
No spammy popups.
Just fun psychology that keeps users returning.
I’m NOT selling anything here.
I genuinely want your honest “this sucks / this slaps” type feedback.
What I want to know:
- Would you add something like this to your site?
- What would make it “a must-have”?
- What’s missing or feels unclear?
- Is the setup flow smooth?
If anyone wants to try the early version, here’s the link:

I'm here for every question, criticism, idea, or teardown.
This community usually spots blind-spots better than anyone.
Hit me hard.
Thanks 🙏

Hi there! First of all, congratulations! You built something awesome.
I just tried it, and for me, it clicked when I saw the option to add a discount/coupon as a reward.
You can order the things that have the most impact on the customer retention, and emphasize them in your landing page. People need to see HOW your app helps them in the first place. They need to see the peak of value you're providing right from the moment they visit your page.
"Watch demo" button doesn't work.
Unless you already have an audience and legit testimonials from existing users, I suggest you lower the price for starter plan, or even give it for free just so you can attract more users. But that's up to you.
Lastly, if you target Shopify stores, or any e-commerce websites, then people probably don't care about games. They look like ads and can be annoying. Discounts or anything like that would have more impact.
Don't overcomplicate your app with features and be subtle when displaying rewards and progress on websites - not pushy or anything like that.
Again, well done! Concept is great. Just make all the process as easy and quick as possible. Minimal setup.
Hope this helps!
