We look forward to receiving your feedback, and thanks in advance.
This is awesome. Well done
@Jim Cool idea (I had thought about something like this), but expected more !!!
Wow… Material Design Making Sense. 
I love it! I’ve bookmarked it on my phone already. One thing though: make the data plan code to dial obvious at a glance… No need for users to open for more details and hunt it down below, where it is tucked away in a fainter font color.
Cool idea!
Yesssssss!
Get a UX person and you’re in business
Thanks @Diakon, Thanks!
Thanks Sir. @udemesamuel Sorry we haven’t met your expectations (which you haven’t told us what they are by the way). But things will definitely improve before it goes out of beta. Thanks again.
Yea @kofacts, Material Design using materializecss. Cool.
@zetayotanews So glad you love it, and bookmarked it, thanks a bunch for that. Thanks some more for your suggestion, we’ll get right on it.
Alright! @Nosaaaa. I hope that doesn’t mean we did a really poor job in regards to UX.
Awesome stuff @Jim
Also agree with Nosa about the UX part.
For example ‘View Details’ should actually be a button since it’s a CTA.
My 10kobo.
it is a cool idea and simple graphics design but if i may ask how are going to make money?
if it is on adverts. are u sure you can pull up to 50,000 page views a day before you make companies interested to advertise on your platform?
A suggestion what you add an additional feature on the platform if some recharge, he/she will get 20% bonus on their credit. Alot of people will start visiting the website and start partnering with business for those that want to promote their brand on the website either as a pop up ad for 5 seconds for viewers to say before you make your payment of your credit.
Looks nice. One suggestion is to add some filters. For e.g, filter all search results by plans that are available 24/7 and cost less that N2000.
Something like that would make it a much more powerful tool.
Nice work so far though.
Thanks for the 10kobo @ADT. Now I’m beginning to see… I think you are right about the ‘View Details’ button, we’ll do something about it.
Well, @jerey. We haven’t given that much thought just yet, as we are focusing on getting the service fully set. But thank you so much for your suggestion.
Thank you @muyiscoi. The system doesn’t understand something like ‘24/7’ at the moment. But now that you have mentioned it, we’ll consider implementing it.
But like I said in my post on Viewslog, range search is possible. For example, you can type in something like ‘0 to N2000’, and that will give you data plans that cost N2000 and below across network providers. You can narrow the search to a particular network provider like so: ‘Airtel 0 to N2000’, or you can narrow it further to a particular time period, like ‘Etisalat 7 days 0 to N2000’. Here’s a link to that last example: https://dataplans.viewslog.com/search?q=Etisalat+7+days+0+to+N2000.
I think something like the above will get you pretty close to the data plans you are looking for, until we make the tool understand times of the day like 24/7, evening, night, etc. Then you’ll be able to search for something like ‘N2000 24/7’, ‘N2000 anytime’, or ‘N2000 night’ Great suggestion! Thank you.
Add a few random sample queries as placeholder text or below the search box so people can know what is possible.
Not everything has to be monetized. Some things can be pro bono, especially if they don’t need much maintenance or resources. Example: ebolafacts.com
Yes! You get something like that when your search query returns nothing.
We wanted to let people try out what they think should be possible, If it returns what they wanted, they’ll be impressed, if it returns nothing, we then suggest what to try. This for the most part allows us to learn what people expects from tool. What do you make of this logic?
If you want to go this way, you can have the placeholder text telling users to try a complex query, or something like that. If not they’d just be cautious.
Ok. We thought the word ‘anything’ in the placeholder is enough to remove cautiousness, now I’m beginning to think its not.
in the short or long run you need money to sustains. Business is all about numbers.
