Congrats on launching. I checked out your landing page, but I still don’t know exactly what your product is or what it’s for. Defining it in terms of other services doesn’t give me a clear picture of what it is or compel me to use it. Showing some use cases or examples might help. (The google sign in is also a dealbreaker for me, but I’m still curious as to what this is.)
Good point. Will work on including some screenshots and better explanation of what it does, plus add more login options. It's still a work in progress, so lots to improve upon. It may have been a bit early to post on HN, but I like the honest feedback so far.
Cool concept, well done. Visually appealing for sure. A few things:
First, I don’t think that your users’ first exposure to your product should be a comparison to other products.
As another user mentioned, I don’t really have an idea of what the site is. I think the comparisons to other products might provide a clearer picture to you since (I’m guessing) those were your initial thoughts about the direction of the project. To others, however, the comparisons seem kind of convoluted.
Also, as yet another user mentioned, I would prefer a different authentication option.
Both of those sentiments make sense and as you mentioned they are echoed by others. I do appreciate the honesty. I'll hopefully have different authentication options in the next day or so.
Good suggestion. I was thinking of putting in an RSS feed feature that would allow you to easily bring in new content, but I do want to make sure to encourage people to write down their thoughts about it too.
C'mon, this is a nonstarter for a huge chunk of your potential user base. Get your own logins sorted out.
