Show HN: I made an app that lets businesses provide vouchers for reviews legally (repuxation.com)

Hey HN!

I am very proud to showcase my very first bigger project which is actually also the project that got me started with Web Development and Angular/NodeJS.

Over the past year, if I wasn't in lectures at university or at the Gym, I was most likely in my room coding and getting excited about the smallest of things (like finally centering a div) and it grew into "Repuxation" after pretty much exactly 1 year of work.

It helps businesses with collecting more reviews for their Google Profile and lets them provide vouchers in exchange for the reviews - legally, I got that checked :)

You can have a look at my landing page here: https://www.repuxation.com/en

And you can test the review part of the website here (please just make sure not to actually leave a Google Review): https://review.repuxation.com/landing?ld=ChIJZf-o6XnBdkcRvTA...

Let me know what you think! :)

I think you've built a landing page. That's about all that can be said about the product.

It might be legal but it's against Google's policies I'm afraid:

> Contributions to Google Maps should reflect a genuine experience at a place or business. Fake engagement is not allowed and will be removed. This includes: [...] Content that has been incentivised by a business in exchange for discounts, free-of-charge goods and/or services.

Hey! Thanks for your comment - they way we have developed the review flow of the business, it's not against their policies either.

The voucher is provided in return for an internal review. After this process is done, the customers are only then asked to leave a Google Review as well.
