| You know what I hate ? Posts on HN of a company's website where after you read the whole thing, you still have no clue what they're doing. The use of we're reinventing/we're disrupting or things like that. A landing page with whoop whoop colors, fancy words and bacteria talk. Aiming at reducing the number of phones to just one, using expressions like "phone solution" (what does that even mean). Many startups fail miserably to tell you how it works, simply. And no, no amount of CSS or infographics will remediate that. Now: On the link, you actually have to click to the main site to make sense of it. Then, it shows you a sort of screen, but it's not a phone (it's part of the image. The layout is broken. I have to dezoom to 33% to see there's a whole image, but I can't read what's in there and I can't zoom on the specific image. Just awful). Then, there's the wrong argument provided: Frigging bacteria. For one, do you know how many bacteria there are ? The argument is weak. And two, there are phones that have dual SIM(heck, there are even triple SIM phones) so the argument cancels itself out. You're pushing the wrong piece of chess. Show me how it works. A frigging prototype. An actual phone (since you said the "phone solution" is on your "existing devices". Why there's no image of an iPhone or an Android phone with the product installed). I hate those links. So to sum it up: -Weak arguments (Bacteria. Many people don't care given the already huge number of bacteria they deal with already. And tow, there are multiple SIM phones). -Awful page layout. -No info: No info on how the product works.
No info on the price.
No demo (photos of at least how it should* look like because I think there isn't even a product and it's a test balloon, just to test the waters). Aaaand the use of one of the most hated expressions in my book: "We're reinventing". Heck, even Nikola Tesla didn't use that expression and I mean, he's TESLA !) |
