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.

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.

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.

[aliakhtar]

It SHOULD be intended for real time feedback. People aren't going to remember how they felt at particular times after watching a particular movie.
