Ask HN: How much info do you want to know about the people behind a product?
I've seen SaaS services where there is no address, no employee names, even the twitter account gives no indication of location.
How much info do you expect to see about the people behind a project when you download a commercial or open source project/product?
Which of the following would you prefer or expect to see? (indicate whether you expect this for commercial or open source or both)
- At least one or more person names behind the project or programme
- Profile or mini biography of one or more people
- Country location
- Address
- mini biography of the project or company
Anything else?
- huhtenberg 8y agoCountry is required. Names are almost required, but they don't necessarily need to be on the About page if there's a support forum or some such. If there's something notable about any of the people involved (past projects) that's good to have too, but trivial/bogus/empty biographies do more harm than good. Ditto for company "vision" statements. The exact address is not needed.
