Please show something useful: screenshots, a list of features, something. I have no idea what your web site does. The only actionable thing for me to do is register and give you my email address. Yeah right.

You can give critical feedback without being so dismissive. For example:

> Please show something useful; maybe screenshots or a list of features. Right now I'm not sure what your web site does. The only actionable thing for me to do is register and give you my email address, but I'm not likely to do that without more information.

Do you see the difference in tone, empathy, and guidance here? If I were to show off my work to this community, I would hope for a little bit of that kind of consideration.

Thanks, Josh. I appreciate you saying this.
Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad to elicit such emotion with our landing page. ;-)

there is at least a screenshot, and a list of publicly visible user profiles to look at?
Why do you say it like you giving him your credit card ?
