This is awesome! Thanks for building the list! Just 1 point of feedback, the skills & interests column feels a bit too generic to use. For example, here's one specific use case I have - I am trying to get feedback & polish the onboarding of my app. Looking at the list, I am not sure who to contact. Maybe adding tags that indicate the types of products they are willing to test might be more helpful? (i.e. "social apps", "productivity apps", etc).

@dzhao Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Great suggestion. It's a tough balance as on one hand I want the registration process to be relatively simple to ensure testers sign up, and on the other hand the more information the better for the makers to target particular testers. That being said, one additional column to that effect asking users to detail the type of websites and apps they would like to test will certainly help makers. Not sure if this should be a free to type column or pre-determined set of tags to select. Thoughts @dzhao?

@dzhao @thisdickie I would add real world examples of each category, ask a user which apps already use, and then get the data from there normalized of -social/shopping/wiki/ecommerce/ whatever tags
Dan Zhao
@thisdickie From my experience building forms, pre-determined sets of tags are best. However, to start, you might be able to get at a lot of this by just asking a simple q like "why did you join BetaTesta?".
Sam Dickie
@schpn thanks for the input.

@dzhao - thanks for the suggestion. I will add this column in tomorrow morning 👍🏻

This is cool, I particularly love how you can search for testers based on their interests etc so you can work with your target audience. How do you source your testers @thisdickie?
Sam Dickie
@abadesi Hey! This has just launched but I will be recruiting from via my current subscribers through NoCode.tech, Reddit groups, Indi Hackers forum and through my own network!
Jeff Osborn
Love. Love. Love. Thank you for hunting @abadesi and for making @thisdickie!

@abadesi @thisdickie Just signed up to become a tester. @thisdickie Have you considered including a question about mobile OS preference to help filter for makers and testers? I have access to Android so if I get only iOS emails to test I might get annoyed, then bored, then opt out. Just a thought...
Sam Dickie
@jeff_osborn thanks for the feedback. I do have a tag for iOS and Android against each tester so you can filter by either of those tags. Hopefully the makers consider this before contacting a tester! I will keep an eye on this. Thanks again! 🤘🏼
