What HN said

What people liked

  • Landing page and interactive demo above the fold are clear and well designed

    From 3 comments
    • I love the signup page on this site. The writing style of the app itself speaking to you is a great twist and kept me scrolling at least. I have to agree with others here that…

    • The site looks great. Simple, to the point with an obvious call to action. I have one question about the pricing. You say "x projects" and the cost is monthly. Is that x projects…

  • Simple, useful product concept

    From 2 comments
    • Enjoyed the landing page and the product looks very simple and useful. However, I was thrown off by the demo image used (a login page) and was confused where I could sign up for…

Objections

  • Crowded market with many similar apps

    From 2 comments
    • First of all, this looks very nice and I have nothing bad to say about this particular product at all. But I can't help but wonder why there are so many apps like this. Off the…

  • Pricing too high compared to alternatives

    From 3 comments
    • pricing too high. max pricing should be about 15.00 a month but just have a limit of storage and force people to dump old stuff.

    • the right product in this space is going to shake things up on price. everyone is trying to squeeze too much out of this concept. and that's why it hasn't gained near the…

    • When compared to InvisionApp, which is what I use currently for sharing mocks and annotations capability - they have more features and for the same/similar price. You won't beat…

  • 14-day trial too short for teams

    From 2 comments
    • This may just be me, but 14 days seems kind of strict for the type of projects it is for and given the learning curve of all the parties involved like someone else mentioned. It…

    • Thanks for responding! I would think so. I mean, I'd want to use it throughout the entire iterative process, so that means I'm waiting at least a week for everyone's feedback,…

  • Learning curve for clients

    From 1 comment
    • Good idea, but unfortunately that product is really hard to establish because of the learning curve it introduces to everyone involved. I find it to be highly effective for…

  • Export of feedback and content

    From 1 comment
    • Free is always nice, but sometimes free can mean not around very long, which is not so nice, especially if you have tons of data stored, talking of which, is there a way to…

  • Git or version control integration

    From 1 comment
    • Looks really interesting. I’ll definitely consider using this. Seems great for collaboration. Idea: integrate something like this with a version control system like Git(hub)?
