    How crazy would it be to have a “weaknesses” or “working on“ page on a company site? Admission we’re not there yet on x but are working on it

        Isn't that your roadmap? Crazy only in that you are giving potential competitors info on tour plans.

        Giving away secrets / plans is not that big a deal anymore. Most companies know what the others up to and even if they find out most competitors are too lazy / occupied to do anything about it 🤤

        Would make me twice as likely to use the product, especially if it's new to market

        I think that would be a more effective careers page: “Hey, we’re struggling with X. Does anyone have experience in X. We’re able to offer you Y salary.”

        "Upcoming Features" or "Our Roadmap" would be a more positive way to highlight things that are going to get better in the next year or two.

        The @saddlebackbags website used to have links prominently displayed above the fold to legitimate competitors' websites. It struck me as a great burn the ships driver for the brand

        It would be too crazy in my mind. Transparency is good, but when it comes down to brass tacks I think most would be better sold on a company that didn't highlight its weaknesses, neverminding how Noble it would be. It's just human nature to prefer a seemingly "perfect" solution.

        One way this could work out is if people would have a way to react, and write some feedback. Could potentially save you a development cycle or two.

        I don’t think it is needed to state it online as a weakness. Possibly shoe a high level roadmap showing issues you want to address in the future might be the way to go. The fact that you are conscious of weaknesses is a good start.

        Slightly different, but a ‘we would like help with’ section that’s part of a federated lead gen system. People & companies submit interest in solving the problem. Would be great for @Upwork

        It would be even cooler if it was crowdsourced from existing customers.
