Tried it out real quick.

The validation on the form page doesn’t require a valid url but when you hit submit the validation fails if the url is incorrect. When you click back to go correct it you can’t fix it because the submit button is still spinning.

Also requiring a title for a url doesn’t seem necessary, just use the domain as the title or the url itself if it’s empty.

Sorry don’t have any other feedback I stopped there.

Love the feedback. You're the second person (that I've seen) whose mentioned what a bad user experience it is to fill out everything and then get told that you have an invalid url. I'm trying to use very minimal javascript but this seems like a good place to add a little extra.

Also I need to fix the submit button problem.

Edit: This has all been fixed.

    Awesome

    Some additional feedback:

    Still would be nice to just put in website.com and have it assume I mean https://website.com

    - If a title is required maybe offer the option to just set the title as an emoji or something. This is definitely just my personal feedback I could be an outlier here.

    - Once I submitted the email went to spam. I assume there’s not much you can do here other than become more established.

    - After clicking the confirm link I’m taken to a page that says my changes have been confirmed and saved. I’d expect messaging along the lines of your page has been created along with a link to my page. Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/leus6ntppsf9yihe6i1sb/Lynx.Bo...

    - At this point the only way I found to get to my page is just to type in what I assumed was the url format into the browser: lynx.boo/username

    Wrote the feedback as I went through it. Once I see the page itself I understand why a title is required and an emoji might not make sense. Love the super clean layout and simplicity though, I will keep this tool in mind.
