You are comparing a 3-day version of Profile.io to a 2+ year-old site. We have plans that would differentiate ourselves from the other services out there but we can't build all of them in a matter of days.
It is not entirely inspired by About.me but we got some inspiration from it mainly with the design.
If you look at my previous HN submissions, Profile.io is a byproduct of my previous project - Launchset. It's just a much simpler version.
Seriously though, why the negativity? As somebody who loves to build apps, I never judge other people's app in its initial version. All ideas/apps evolve.
- kmfrk 16y agoI have spent more than 30 minutes of my time giving you suggestions for your service and outlining challenges that lie ahead. If the about.me and appeal remarks seemed hostile, it was because I didn't know that I was talking to one of the creators. (Like I've said before, HN need to highlight that somehow.) If that's not positive, I honestly don't know what is. And to give you some honest advice (I know how you hate that, though), your attitude to feedback isn't going to help you succeed. Quite the contrary. Helping people is a little like being a parent; to your children, you're a parent first, and a friend second. You may have to make some unpopular decisions, but they're in the best interest of the person.
