Hi BHW,

I've created a new desktop-based tool that constantly monitors Quora for new question questions with the keywords you've entered, stores them in a database, can email them and the URL to you, and can send push notifications to your mobile device(s) when new questions are found so you don't have to keep constantly checking. This can give you the chance to be the first to respond to questions, giving you more views on your answers (which can lead to more traffic/visitors), and can help you get more votes and stay on top (as long as you provide high-quality answers), and build your authority in your niche(s).


NOTE: This software DOES NOT auto-post/spam Quora, it is an assistant to get the right questions in front of you quickly so you can provide useful answers--spamming and automating responses doesn't work well on their platform anyway.


I'm looking for about 10 testers in total (possibly a couple of more to test more variables) who meet some various criteria (as I'd like to test on a range of systems/regions/languages). The criteria includes:


Users must have 100+ Posts on the forum

Users must use Windows
- looking for a mix of Win 7 (SP1), 8/8.1, 10, and/or Windows Server 2012+

Users must either currently use Quora for marketing/traffic or be interested in doing so

Must be willing to sign up for a free SMTP/mailing service to test the email alerts feature
- The software stores your target email alert address locally in its settings, this email address info is not sent anywhere else (to me or otherwise).

Must be willing to sign up for a free Pushover.net trial to test push notifications
- Not my service, but the software uses their API for push alerts. Free for one week, no credit card or billing info required to test push notifications

5 or so testers in the US

5 or so testers outside the US
- Ideally a few who use the English-based Quora and a few that use Quora in other languages



Here's an idea of the current interface, I'm still working on an overview video:

MX9NDJ9



For those who provide helpful feedback, I will provide a 6 month license of the software at no cost. However, if you don't provide feedback within a week or so of using, I will have to disable the license and open the slot to a different tester.

Feedback I'm looking for includes:
  • how smoothly the installation went
  • any issues with activating the software
  • any issues running the software
  • any bugs discovered while running the software
  • ideas on what else can be added/tweaked to improve the software (I have a feedback/ideas tool I will send to you)

I do ask for your patience and willingness to cooperate to resolve any bugs as I finalize things and add a few more features. I do have a roadmap with a couple of features that will make accessing the questions/data on the go much easier, but want to focus on nailing these core features first and ensuring all works well before adding more.


Note: I'm doing some final testing and will be packaging up the installer and protection system over the next 72 hours, so expect to receive access info on Wed/Thursday by the latest (hopefully sooner).

NOTE: I will be generating beta licenses based on your BHW username, no contact information or email information is necessary to get your beta-tester license.

If interested, please copy/paste the following in your reply post with the answers and I will follow up if you meet the criteria as outlined above with your license access info - no need to PM me. First come, first served as criteria is met and slots are filled.

Fantastic, thanks for your interest! I will send you your license key and download info via PM asap. I would love a video review after you've gotten to test it & provide feedback and we're able to make any tweaks to improve it.

I will put color-scheme variants on the list as well, but it will be behind bug-fixes and a couple of other features that will enhance the overall functionality, shouldn't take too long to get to though. Thanks again!

Thank you all for your interest, you all qualify for the beta access so I'll be generating your license keys and sending out the access info here asap - putting the installer together tonight so should be ready to ship to y'all soon so you can dig in, mess with it, break it, and help me mold it into a useful monitoring tool for quick, easy, targeted traffic.

Will follow up with you all asap via PM with your access info, thanks again for your interest!
 
Got everything compiled and finished v1 of the User's Guide completed. Put together the resources to get up and running with the software as quickly as possible as well. Going to test the installer on a fresh machine to ensure all necessary files install properly, and will be sending everyone their licenses once verified. Thanks for your patience and I apologize for the delay, not much longer!

I believe all trial keys and download info have been sent to each of you - thanks again for your interest! Please PM if any issues getting up and running and I'll follow up asap, and I look forward to your bug reports, ideas, and feedback.

There are still a few more slots open, but I will be away from the computer for the next 14 or so hours so won't be able to get you set up until I get back - and to the current beta testers: I try to respond much more quickly to problems and feedback, and will be more available for faster responses after the weekend, so I apologize for any delays in the meantime and I appreciate your patience.

Thanks for yall's interest, keys and download info have been sent! Looking forward to your feedback when you get a chance to dig in.

Will be finishing a demo video that covers all the features in depth in the next few days and will get it to all testers.

I'm taking 3 more beta applicants for now and then will request the thread be locked - thanks again!
 
Thanks to the users who have provided feedback so far. I've just pushed an updated version that has a cumulative collection of tweaks and fixes, you should be prompted to update the next time you run the software. I'm not updating the installer yet as I want those who have not purchased yet to see how the update process goes right after a fresh install and let me know of any issues.

Here's the change log for the updates:

1.30 - New Feature: Copy/Duplicate Blacklist keywords from one Monitored Keyword to another.

1.29 - Bug Fix: Prevent duplicate Monitored Keywords during edit/update.

1.28 - Bug Fix: Allow for longer keyword names/phrases in the Blacklisted Keywords label.

1.27 - Improvement: Minor scraping tweak to reduce memory usage.

1.26 - New Feature: Edit (rename) Monitored Keywords.

1.25 - Bug Fix: Sanitized input for keywords and blacklist keywords with apostrophes in them.

1.24 - New Feature: Bulk Import Keywords & Blacklist Keywords.

1.23 - New Setting: Enable Debug Mode (General Setting - shows browser when enabled).


Still have a few more suggestions from others and a few ideas I've come up with to implement.

Have a few slots left open for anyone else who would like to test and leave feedback, just let me know.

I've been meaning to make an overview/training video for it but want to hammer out most of the UI changes and tweaks before doing so as it is likely a few more features will be added very shortly.

Thanks again!
