Reformed: is the service alive? Service will live!
The entire last year he has not written anything about Reformal, although, one might say, there is a reason. We have grown up and are doing our job in a completely adult way, without looking back at the numerous dachototutnetos. Promoting their sites and kicking strangers know what I'm talking about.
Reformal.ru is a feedback service that allows you to understand why someone left your project, unsubscribed from the newsletter and, moreover, took away a good half of users. You can read more about the project in my first topic .
Over the past year, from an idea that kept you awake at night, Reformal has grown into a completely independent commercial product, not only bringing a sense of accomplishment to youth duty, but also a certain profit.
In light of recent achievements, I can’t help myself, so as not to take stock (read: boast) and not share statistics with the curious (read: boast a lot).
So.
He reformed: we encroach on the sacred.
Personally, I, as a person once infected with startupship, have always been curious to look at the statistics of other projects. How is it there? Alexa Rank or TOP100 - here they are, and then - who will let me go ?! For Reformal.ru we will make a correction.
Today more than 5,000 users visit the site, the number of registered users has exceeded 13,000. There are already 10,000 created projects, and the widget is shown more than 12,000,000 times daily. The service works on only one, but very powerful and well-configured server. Previously, there were two: one for the web, the other for statistics. But somehow in the evening they sat down, thought, and decided to “kill” one.
Reformal traffic is calculated in terabytes.
On the site I do not hang ads out of principle. Well, perhaps, one banner is 240x400 or, when this place is not taken up - ads from adsense. The project is already fully self-supporting, and even remains for development. But, as they say, bread and butter is bread and butter, and nobody canceled black caviar with a yacht! So, there is something to strive for.
What is particularly pleasing about the project: is, in the language of the news, “lack of investment”. Not a penny of other people's money was spent on the development and promotion of the project. So, on a dark night they won’t ask me, you can sleep peacefully. Two hours were spent on promoting Reformal.ru: during this time I wrote the first post on a hub And that’s all!
Do you want to take off? Work with wings!
Work to improve the service did not stop even for a minute from that day, as soon as we announced it. The greatest pride was the release of the second version of the site, in which we took into account your many wishes. Thanks everyone! We also brought in something from ourselves: you did not ask, but we are not asleep!
There is a lot of new, so I will go through only the most interesting possibilities:
About ABM
We included almost all additional functions in the ABM package, whose services (unlike the free basic functionality) are provided for money. We decided to support domestic owners and reduced prices from $ 18 to $ 7 per month, or up to $ 45 per year. We will, as they say, take in quantity. It is possible, and this price will seem prohibitive to someone - we are always ready to listen to your wishes.
For all projects, it is possible to connect a PRO-package of services for 5 days for free.
Hit! Another blow! Past!
Not without, of course, without trying to figure out "Who is who." Three DDOS attacks were organized on the server, which, however, did not lead to anything: our admins in two hours chopped up a duplicate server and set up anti-dos filters. We will not poke a finger, but the attacks coincided exactly with the appearance of a similar project on the network. We have no evidence, so we will not breed a holivar and stigmatize anyone. As a matter of fact, the appearance of competitors only makes us happy: it means that it was not in vain that we worked: we didn’t eat up, we didn’t fill up - they still find our ideas in the harsh hearts of hot startups.
Farther? More! Having developed the project quite well in more or less familiar Russian, we thought about expanding the audience. The first steps towards multilingual support have already been taken. Our project on UserIdea.com
(English version) is already working. Soon, wait for the appearance of sites in Italian, Spanish, German, Belarusian and Chinese.
If it is interesting, I can upload statistics on UserIdea.com here, especially since the indicators reflecting the pace of development of the project in the United States will be much higher than in Russia.

There is a lot of new, so I will go through only the most interesting possibilities:
- Now you can post a reform project on your domain;
- You can now leave ideas and make comments right in the widget, without leaving the site;
- several ideas can now be combined into one;
- pre- and post-moderation of ideas and messages is provided;
- You can ban objectionable by name or IP;
- and, for dessert, our pride: now you can adjust the look of the project and widget yourself to the style of your site and watch the changes in real time. Very comfortably.
