My point is that the creator forces the user to choose to sign up or leave - there's no discovery or guide to help the user make that choice.
Of course this is a side project, so user experience may not matter. But he asked specifically about experience, so...
- schlichtm 16y agoTotally agree with this - We're working on improving this + explaining the value of the product better before you sign in. We definitely don't want to trick a user into signing up - we want to be as clear as possible.
- random42 16y agoMost of the time, I dont mind signing up for apps on HN, to review them using my twitter account (I dont use FB), but I did not do it for your app, because I dont like it doing auto following by my twitter account WITHOUT an option to avoid it. Also it seems like it will spam a tweet from my account. I dont mind giving feedback/review. I mind if apps spam my followers, to gain traction.
- schlichtm 16y agoAgreed - I see where you are coming from. To be clear we are not spamming upon login though - so you're ok.
- potatolicious 16y agoAnother question: why does it want to post to my FB wall? I'm not even sure what your product is - but I do get that it probably wants to have access to my data to do its business. Allowing you access to my posts, friends, etc, is fine, but I get suspicious when an app demands write-access without justifying it.
