| Woah, I have no relationship whatsoever with this guys, but I am quite disappointed with the kind of responses in this thread. In my opinion there should be no destructive critics in any "Show HN" thread. If you find some mistakes or whatever, you could make a constructive critic, ie: Hey guys, IMHO you should add more info in the landing page, because I am not understanding what your project does. On the other hand, as someone posted in this thread you could tell them: "You're not the only one who had no clue. [...] And I'm not wasting another second of my time on flowhub.." Is that the kind of answer that a fellow hacker deserves?? I don't think so. Remember that people do not post projects at HN only to reach a big audience, but also to get a great feedback from smart people. So before giving impolite answers, we should remember that we are all in the same boat, and the next "Show HN" thread could be your project. Think about the kind of answers you would like to get. PS:I know that most of the people at HN is great people, but I think this needed to be said today. |
"Didn't get it, not wasting any more time" is an incredibly valuable comment to receive because it helps you understand the most common occurrence for your home page, someone landing and immediately moving on. You'd normally never get feedback from that traffic and not know why they bounced. Now the builders know what to fix to increase engagement.
