I tend to look at HN comments before following a link. As was pointed out by someone else, the web is suffering from an obesity crisis, and I check the comments to see if anyone said anything interesting before risking a visit to the link.

As for your submission, I have no idea what problem it's supposed to solve, and I'm not inclined to "sign up" to try to figure it out. I think screenshots or other graphics to 'show' what your site does would be helpful.

Fair point. I know the current public website is far from the best. The product however is quite solid (I think).

Here is what a sample feedback page looks like: https://visualtip.com/3c5090a169f6b9e955d3b57b9401497b

So I clicked on the link in your post in safari on Sierra, and it's literally a blank page. I was curious so I opened the developer console and it says:

"app.initialize is not a function (in app.initialize({"api":"https:\/\/api.visualtip.com","key":"db4430ab8da22455511f9b26963a7151835ef5471b82"});"

I haven't the slightest idea what that means, but would have expected to at least see some sort of header or un-styled text rather than absolutely nothing!

I only saw your comment now. Something must have went wrong while loading the page. Should be fine now.

Thank you for the feedback regarding the blank page. It's on our list :)

Unfortunately, you cannot use the app on your mobile device yet. Please use the browser on your computer instead.

I don't know but I suspect many users are on mobile devices like me.

Yep. I only browse HN on my downtime before falling asleep now. Lack of mobile support is a massive turn off here.
Mobile is on the way as well. There are a few challenges on that front though...
