There's nothing to melt down, there is no (public) website there. I can barely get a conversation started on this topic without HN's cynicism, as you demonstrate.
But as evidenced by this and other articles, as everyone is getting fed up with the current state of data, people are coming around to the idea.
- fredsted 9y ago> There's nothing to melt down, there is no (public) website there You might want to be a bit more clear in your communication. When someone links a URL/domain, you'd expect that there's something there. I mean, why not put up a splash page on your domain, telling something about your product (what is it? Something with plain text? A Markdown-based static site generator, maybe? Who knows.), or maybe a form to subscribe to a mailing list. Did you think people would put that domain in their bookmarks and re-visit it themselves?
- doublerebel 9y agoThanks for your feedback, HN does not pull any punches. I've been pitching this slowly for a while as I honed the product. I want to help organize data using an open format. I think user control of presentation is crucial as AR and VR work further into daily life -- especially considering accessibility. Splash page is now up, including the product description, and form to subscribe to a mailing list. Please check it out, I'd love to hear what you think! https://www.optik.io https://www.optik.io
- nxc18 9y agoThere's no product description whatsoever... How do you plan to monetize plain text?
- awkward 9y agoAs places to hustle for your project go, HN is probably one of the gentler ones. Just build first, THEN plug.
