Did you actually play the demo? Why hasnt anyone actually played the demos? Everyone is simply commenting on the website.

The demo needs to be simpler to access. People are just not going to go through download/installation/browser configuration hoops. So you've got to figure out how to make the demos run without "Java 1.5.X" (but not 1.6) on "Windows XP", using "only Windows Media Player". That requirement list is just too restrictive.

  I agree. Is the solution to rewrite it in Apollo Flash? (There may be the same problems that Java Web Start has had).

Listen, I've probably spent more time looking at your website than 99 percent of the people who've clicked on it. Try to understand this: _I still haven't the first clue what it is you're selling_ Okay? The reason no one is playing with the demos is because the website itself is like unto cerberus the dog of hell, protecting the product from all who draw near. Have ONE main webpage. Have this contain: 2-3 sentences that explain what the product does, and a use case. Example: "auto-ebay-1000 is a tool to automate routine tasks performed by ebay sellers. If you have 50 items to sell, auto-ebay-1000 can upload them to ebay, track them, and alert you to bids" Then have three links: 1) screen shots 2) Demo 3) How to buy Look at a quasi use case that you have: Do you feel, Thoughts and ideas come to me at awkward times, unexpected places and not in neat order. I really wish there was an easier way for me to capture them". ...okay. The solution to that "problem" is: Pen and paper. Or a voice recorder. Is Juwo a voice recorder? Okay, fine: But an "unexpected place" is presumably one where I'm not at my computer. See? Your use case doesn't fit.

  The problem is, juwo is a new concept. Also it can do about 5-8 different things. So there are about 13 use cases with demos listed. How can I simplify further? I have tried my best. I would like to discuss further your points. 0) Do you see the links to the screenshots? I didnt want to list them in the main page because that's another 300K in 3 images. Plus they take up a lot of space. 1) Pen and paper "There are problems with voice recorder, writing, and typing" ( http://juwo.com/details.html#Record) http://juwo.com/details.html#Record) problem with writing? you cant get it into the computer. "Your use case doesn't fit" When juwo is ported to a PDA, it will.

    No. The problem isn't that juwo is a "new concept." In my opinion, your response to the previous post is demonstrative of your problem: He said: "I don't understand what your product is." You said: "juwo has X functionalities and Y use cases." You didn't say: "juwo is a product that solves __(problem)__ for __(audience)__ by __(10 words max describing functionality)__." _That_ is what people want to know when they ask about your product. _That_ is what needs to be on your home page, not 13 use cases and 300k of screenshots. For a product to be successful, it has to have a purpose. It has to solve a problem that somebody has. I've been following your threads on news.yc for weeks, and I still have no idea whether your product has an actual purpose or is a useless collection of features. If the former, you need to do a much better job of communicating this to people. Otherwise, it's time to revisit the idea. Nobody's interested in a pile of useless features. And if you don't believe me, perhaps I could interest you in my tax prep software which organizes your photos and generates source code for text-based adventure games for the TI-83...

      juwo solves 3 problems - by allowing you to create, play, distribute, add to, share lists of snippets. Rather than state what the problems are, I simply created the demos to show what it can do.

I'm scared of what the demo will do to my machine.
- juwo 19y ago
  It wont do anything, I promise. At worst, it may hang the machine. Your files are untouched - only juwo files and config files are written. You can uninstall using Add|Remove Programs
