Show HN: Redirect your customers from your marketing page to your app Hi HN! I've gotten a bit frustrated by going to `datadog.com` instead of `app.datadog.com`. I know that I could use a chrome extension to do this redirect for me (I do). But since this is a painful UX, I think that SaaS companies should do something to improve it for all of their users. So I made `marketing-redirect`, a quick bit of HTML to put on a marketing page that lets customers get automatically redirected to the application they're already paying for: https://ift.tt/MOTFt0I You can see an example of it in action here: https://ift.tt/QHYp9L7 Aside from just making the tools I use better, I'm brainstorming ways to monetize this.

I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks, Elliot February 10, 2022 at 07:54AM

I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
