Ask HN: Rate my startup - Backpedalify
Sorry, we're only in private beta.
- zavulon 17y agoI'm very confused... who are the users of your site? Actual politicians? When I click on "Backpedal", nothing happens... Are you expecting Bush/Clinton/Gore/Kerry to actually come to your site and use it?
- ryanhuff 17y agoIts apparently a silly april fools PR stunt to get exposure for a company (see excerpt from the website blow). Is HN going to be swamped with april fools nonsense? "Backpedalify is, of course, an April Fool’s Joke. But backing up your online data is no laughing matter. Secure you online data stored in Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and more with --redacted--. Learn more about how it works."
- zavulon 17y agoD'oh! This is what I get for coding 12 hours in a row.
- bretpiatt 17y agoIt is an April Fools joke site linking to their Backupify service, cute...
- vital101 17y agoWhile good for a "lol", doesn't anyone else hate April Fools day on the internet? It's nearly impossible to find a serious post. I can't take anything seriously on the internet for the next day or two. Guess my productivity is going to go up.
- PG-13 17y agoFor this to be funny, your actual product has to be well-known.
- wlievens 17y agoFor you to have a nickname on this forum, you should choose one that doesn'confuse others.
- barmstrong 17y agoIf it's a joke - I don't actually get it. I get what backpedaling is and it's funny when politicians do it - but your description on the homepage is confusing (at least to me).
