First off, the website looks like a 2005 web hosting provider's website, complete with glossy gradients and a huge horizontal banner, which put me off.
Also, my eye isn't drawn to anything on the page that says "THIS IS FACEBOOK FOR MAC", perhaps you need to remove some of the explanation text and make the title at the very top more obvious? I'm not a designer though, so ymmv.
Finally, I can't for the life of me find a download link, so I'll go from the screenshot: It doesn't feel very "mac-ish" or polished. It looks like a thrown-together website inside a single-site browser, if I'm honest.
Now for the good: I'd be very willing to pay up to £5 pounds for a reasonably-featured facebook for desktop client, especially if it included basic twitter functionality as well, and felt at home on my mac. The idea is good, especially with the App Store coming out soon, and the influx of "gotta have an app for everything" users it might bring.
PS: Those screenshots should be taken with opt-shift-4 space click instead of opt-shift-3. I don't want to see your desktop, and it just makes the picture of the app become shrunken even at reasonable sizes of browser window.
- terhechte 16y agoThanks for the insight! The screenshots are the same as on the App Store right now, where Apple demands 1280x800 screenshots. But I'll follow your thinking and remove the status bar in those screenshots so it is only the app on a small part of the desktop. I thought that the site was looking well, same goes for the looks of the app. I also got pretty good beta tester feedback for that. Could you pinpoint your criticism by providing some links to sites you like? That would be great! Again, thanks for your criticism! :)
