    I mean I don't think they ever literally did any testing on the usage of their website. They have some nice settings for using their website, but they don't have a landing page for it so they allow you to have lots of great functionality in searching for food, it is about useless. Not only do they not show them at the start, they also have absurd and odd defaults on the ones that would be most generally useful at the start For example: The distance setting starts at infinite distance instead of the 5, 10, or 15 increments they have. This would be a great app if they just had you go through the settings each time you started using it, as they have lots of details, like times, ambience, payments, and whether alcohol is served. They could even expand this to if you logged in they could list the settings you used previously or you could save some as presets for going out with friends or something like that. It is clear that it had potetntial, but I think they didn't have a clear idea of the service they wanted to provide at the start and got too bogged down in both the implementation and problems to recognize the things that made them want to do it in the first place, along with the investors that liked it. But ok fam

    Please don't react to someone making HN worse by making HN even worse yourself.
