CSPublic scorecard
Rsscal — landing page clarity scorecard.
Scored from Rsscal's Hacker News launch, straight off our public free score tool — same 10-point grid as a paid audit, no contact with the founder.
01Friction map
Three things to fix first
Ranked the same way every paid audit ranks issues — by what a stranger notices first.
CTA — 0/10
“RSS · ATOM · JSON FEED” — the only header line is a format label, not an action.
Fix: Add one CTA above the fold, e.g. “Get your feed — free”.
Proof — 0/10
No testimonials, usage numbers or press mentions found on the page.
Fix: Show the HN launch or an early-user quote near the hero.
Next step — 0/10
“Log in to vote” — login has no stated benefit.
Fix: “Sign in — get your feed in 10s”.
02Strongest point
What Rsscal already gets right
Consistency
Title and meta description agree: “filter the noise” / “tools for staying informed”.
