Pretty neat!
However, I think there might be a tiny bit too much friction in using it.
First, I have to remember how to get to your app again. Then I have to login. Then I have to paste a link in a box, & then I get another link that I take somewhere else.
I'm probably not going to remember your app until I'm about to post something into a social network somewhere else, & I'm not sure how much anticipated-friction I would tolerate in that situation.
Maybe a chrome extension would be neat down the road, or maybe if I could prepend something like <user-name>.plug.to/news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10063441
It's really interesting though! You should keep working on it!
- edwinespinosa09 11y agoyeah I see what you mean, we built an oauth signup option in v1.0 that we might bring back that allows you to just automatically "switch" the links you post. We also have the chrome extension on deck ;) So no major issues with the public facing UI/UX in your opinion? example: http://lnkplg.co/RGPp http://lnkplg.co/RGPp
- futhey 11y agoThe widget itself is pretty slick (for the final end-user), and the Chrome extension is probably too much effort on your part to justify building at this point. OAuth helps, but it would only reduce friction for first-time users.
