No videos, a single screenshot, beta invite only. Is this another minimum viable product experiment?


You (and those that upvoted you) seem to thing that this is a problem. May I ask why?


I dont want to signup if I dont know what your product does. I personally go away from sites that ask you to first sign up, then you may see what it is all about.


The current title feels misleading as it suggest you already have something working. A better title would have been "Review my startup idea".


Agreed. There is nothing to review but a concept here. I don't want to be jaded, but it's possible that you hacked this page together in an hour. To me, it feels like you are simply using Hacker News to draw some eyeballs to your site and generate some leads.

In my mind, you ultimately are hurting future folks who want serious reviews of their products from other hackers. Smart people who frequent Hacker News will get tired of doing these kinds of lead-generating "reviews" and won't up-vote them into the homepage.

My suggestion to others who want to use HN for feedback: you get one good shot at a review, so time it wisely.


kinda irritating if you spend the time giving a service your details if the product barely exists yet.
