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.

it can do about 5-8 different things. So there are about 13 use cases with demos listed Pick one (compelling) thing and promote that, first and foremost. If you start to get a user base, then you can gradually introduce some of the other features. As a friend of mine said: "The Burton snowboard web site is the only reason I bothered to get Flash working in my browser". You need to find a similar dynamic for juwo, otherwise people are not going to take the time to download or install anything.

  I am trying to get students in the dental school to use it - several carry laptops to class. They can juwo lectures. ------------- The problem is - to get it to work offline using flash, I must use apollo. It may come with the same problems that Java Web Start did - only, we dont know them yet. ------------- Any of you guys on this page want to join me in working on juwo?
