@balaji_rao1 haha love that idea! The minymons wave when you first go to a website or refresh the page. But maybe we should add a special dancing feature, that would be fun!

I love this! What a genius idea! Big fan of Tamagotchis and digital pets here. πββοΈ I'm surprised/a bit angry at myself for not thinking of adding one to my website before.
How much does it cost to get a custom one? Like, if the customer sends you the design and you have to animate it.
@anna_0x Thank you so much! I'm a big tamagotchi fan too π If you're interested in a custom minymon, can you email us at hello@minymon.com? Then we can send you our doc with all the process and pricing info!

@minymon@katherine_liu cool! I might do that at a later point. Itβd be great if youβd share a rough price-range for custom Minymons on your website though. (Like, are we talking about prices around 50 β¬ or 500 β¬?) Just so that visitors can quickly tell if itβs something theyβd consider.
Some thoughts:
I noticed that the HTML snippets we need to paste in our websiteβs body contains the body of the FAQ.
But the content of the βTalkβ function is managed via the minumon website only.
Thatβs not so convenient because we canβt use the minymon website as a central place from where we can update our minymon. We need to copy and paste the new code after every single change.
EDIT: Because we canβt change the position of the minymon, I canβt add it to my website because it would overlap with the bottom navigation bar I have on mobileβ¦
@anna_0x thanks for the feedback! I think it's a good idea to put a ballpark range, although specific prices vary depending on the request.
We know that it's annoying to copy/paste the new code after making changes, and we're planning on making it so that you CAN centrally control your minymon from minymon.com.
Finally, curious where you would want to position it on mobile? Just above the bar, or somewhere else?

@pencilflip Just above the bar. π Thanks for your answers
Hi Product Hunt! We're really excited to share a passion project we've been working on for the last few months. Minymons are helpful pets that you can add to your website!
Minymons can:
- Answer common questions for you
- Gather feedback from your website visitors
- Play a theme song
- Entertain your visitors (people can feed or talk to your minymon)
πΈ Why did we make Minymon?
Your website is like your home on the internetβand just like you can have a pet in your home, we thought it would be fun if you could have a pet on your website!
First, we brainstormed the funny features like being able to feed a virtual website pet who could keep you company as you browsed. The more "useful" features like answering questions came afterward. At its heart, Minymon is something we've built just for the sake of making the Internet more fun β¨
π To celebrate launching Minymon, we're also sending a limited edition enamel pin to the first 25 people who purchase a minymon for their own site!
Let us know if you add a minymon to your siteβwe'd love to see it!
Thank you so much for all your support,
Kat & Matt
Hey Kat! This is a wonderful idea, and albeit I'm definitely not the target audience for this, I can imagine where such a Minymon could be used.
Are you also planning on introducing an API to add custom functionality to the characters?
They are very cute and it's an interesting idea. I have a feeling, though, that the style is best suited for audiences in China and Japan (maybe also in Korea) who are known to love this kind of style. For Western audiences, however, I would go for a bit different look (but it's totally fine for kids' audiences).
It would be awesome if the user could customize the style of the characters, I already know what kind of character I would use on our website :)
@margarita_s88 Hi Margarita, that's a great idea, thanks for the thoughts! And we'd love to hear about what kind of character you'd likeβif you want a custom minymon for your site, you can reach out to us at hello@minymon.com, and we can work with you to create one! π
