Hey...I’m starting a tiny dogfood test for Verja, the community platform I’ve been building. The goal is not to “beta test an app” in the abstract. I need a few real people to use it like a small discussion space for a couple weeks so I can see what breaks, what feels awkward, and what’s missing. What I’d ask is that you: create an account - verify your email - set up a simple profile - start or reply to a few discussion threads tell me when something is confusing, annoying, or broken No big commitment. Maybe 10-15 minutes to get started, then check in a few times over the next week or two. It is early, so I’m not looking for praise or general impressions. I’m looking for friction: “I didn’t know what to do here,” “this email was weird,” “posting felt clunky,” “I expected X but got Y.” Would you be willing to be one of the first 3 to 5 people to try it? What this is: a small private test forum-style discussion rough edges expected feedback matters more than activity volume What this is not: a public launch a polished social network a big time commitment a request to promote anything I ask that you do, at a minimum, three concrete tasks: 1. Register and verify your email. 2. Reply to the welcome thread (at least, others is even better). 3. Start one thread of your own. Then ask one (at least) feedback question after you've used it. Here are some examples: * What did you think Verja was when you first arrived? * Was anything confusing during signup? * Did you know what to do next after creating an account? * Did the site feel welcoming, intimidating, or neutral? * Was there anything you expected to see but couldn't find? email me at calvusrex@envs.net if you'd like to be considered as a beta tester. Thanks!!!
