I built Onalyse, but I’m starting to question if it actually solves a problem

Wait 5 sec.

I’ve been working on a project called Onalyse for a while now, and lately I’ve been asking myself a pretty simple question: Do agencies and freelancers who build websites actually need this? Onalyse is a website audit tool. You give it a website and it checks things like privacy/cookies, security, SEO, performance, accessibility and some GDPR-related issues. My original idea was that it could be useful for freelancers and agencies who build websites for clients. Instead of checking everything manually or using several different tools, they could use Onalyse to get an overview of the website and see what might need fixing. But the more I think about it, the more I wonder if I started with a solution instead of a real problem. Maybe most web developers already have tools they like and don't need another one. Maybe these kinds of audits aren't something they care about that much. Or maybe there is a real use case here that I haven't found yet. So I’d really like to hear from people who actually build websites for clients. Would you find something like Onalyse useful in your work? If you would use it, when would you use it and what would you want it to do for you? And if you wouldn't use it, that's completely fine too. I'd actually prefer to hear why. What do you currently use instead? Or is this simply not a problem for you? The website is https://onalyse.com if anyone wants to try it. You can run a scan, and after creating an account you can see the full report. I'm not really trying to promote it here. I'm trying to figure out if I'm building something people actually need before I spend more time developing it. So feel free to be critical. I'd much rather hear "I don't need this because..." than "looks cool".   submitted by   /u/kmf_45 [link]   [comments]
