Ask HN: Review my Android mod Startup

[camdykeman]

Frontpage lets you browse your favourite news and social feeds from your Android Lock Screen. No inputting passwords or fumbling through multiple apps.

It is very much a minimum viable product right now - it has minimal functionality and a lot of work still to be done.

Once installed, simply activate Frontpage from Frontpage's settings tab, turn the screen off, and when you turn it back on you can begin browsing content.

We'd love to hear what you think!

In your landing page, the "Get it on Google Play" button is blocking the top menu bar.

Also, your product has the same name as a Microsoft product. That's a bad idea. You're never going to get any traffic even if someone searches for your exact name, plus if you ever get even a little big Microsoft's legal team is going to be all over you.

Hi rbchv, thanks for taking a minute to check out Frontpage.

The site has some issues for sure. Try zooming out - unfortunately it is currently styled with a native width of 1300 which is too wide and causes some resizing problems.

As for the name, there are standards in place regarding trademarks and logos which require a level of similarity between products. There is no conflict here. Thanks for looking out though!

What did you think of the app itself? Try it out!

The price is free!
