Team has changed, name has changed, product has changed, vision has been refined.

10/30 marks my 4 year anniversary for coming up with the core ideas behind Tinj. We're building dramatically better ways for people to share information starting with video ratings.

More than anything, I've grown enormously as an entrepreneur, as a developer and as a person.

"We're building dramatically better ways for people to share information..."

reaction: cool!

"...starting with video ratings"

reaction: meh

[flipside]

I know, right?

One of these days I'll figure out the right way to explain things in writing...

[wernerb]

"Have you wondered what honest video feedback aligned to your own movie watching taste looks like? Check us out at tinj.com"

Haven't looked at your site yet, but this is what I would relate to. Good luck!

If you're a fan of websites that mess around with scrolling functionality you're in for a treat!

Holy damn that site is all over the place if you try to scroll a bit too fast

as someone working on a video-based site I am interested in this concept but I just cannot use this website without irritation. Also there's barely any "Now you've seen that it's pretty, this is what it does" information.

Document! document! document!

The landing page was an experiment and has been slated to be replaced for several months.

Why is the product called "curve" in the demo video but "curv" on the site?

[flipside]

A misguided attempt at rebranding... Probably gonna change it again eventually.

OK, this is me being a jerk, but:

You've spent 4 years working on a product that lets you draw a line on a time graph?

I mean, I see that it's synced to a video, and that's a small bit of interesting functionality, but...this is not a product. This is a feature of a product, maybe. It's a less-useful imitation of those "+/-" knobs that you see the results of during political debates on CNN.

I'm sorry, I really do like to see people succeed, but I think you need to move on from this idea.

[flipside]

4 years in the company, 10 months on this product.

It absolutely looks like a "bad idea", but all its deficiencies can be compensated and its strengths are unmatched.

[aliakhtar]

sorry to tell you this, but he's right, i wouldn't ever tug on a line while i'm watching a video. clicking a smiley / angry face, may be.

[flipside]

neither would i ;)

[aliakhtar]

then why did you build it that way?

[flipside]

it isn't intended to be used in real-time, let me know what you can infer from that.

[ttty]

video, like movies or what? youtubes?

[flipside]

We'll start with YouTube but the original application was TV.
