Great vision, clean UI – but still missing key content controls
When I first came across Roundups.ai, I asked myself: *Do I really need another writing tool?*
The answer was *no* — but this one stood out. The niche-specific approach, the focus on affiliate roundups, and the clean UX/UI convinced me to give it a try. I liked the story behind the project and the vision, so I dove in.
In the first week, I created a couple of articles — but the outputs felt too similar, too limited. I paused and came back weeks later, hoping that new features would improve the experience. And yes, the team has clearly been working hard — things are moving in the right direction.
But unfortunately, **some key basics are still missing**:
🔹 I can’t **edit the outline before generation**
🔹 I can’t **add talking points or structure sections manually**
🔹 There’s still **no brand voice control**
🔹 And I can’t **input a custom keyword list**
These aren’t "power user extras" — they’re essential if you want both beginners *and* SEO experts to succeed with the tool.
Let us guide the AI, not the other way around.
To the devs: Please listen to your user base. A Lifetime Deal is only sustainable if your community is happy — even if they’re not paying monthly. We're your advocates, not just customers. Invest in making the core rock-solid, and this will become a top-tier SaaS.
Wishing the project real success. I’m sticking with License 2 for now, and if these improvements come, I’d be excited to upgrade again. 🚀
Cheers

Edited Mar 31, 2025Appreciate the thorough review.
We just released this feature this morning;
🔹 And I can’t **input a custom keyword list**
The other items:
🔹 I can’t **edit the outline before generation**
That's coming soon. You'll pick the areas that AI should focus on before it's generated. It's a balance between getting the user to the end result as quickly as possible, because we want the time-to-value to be very short, and giving users too much freedom which can lead to abandonment in the creation flow because it demands too much from a user too soon.
🔹 I can’t **add talking points or structure sections manually**
We have an editor that lets you manually edit everything (except the comparison table)
🔹 There’s still **no brand voice control**
That's coming too. We hear you!
