I downloaded the Color app. I like it. I'm in downtown San Francisco. A number of other people apparently are using it right now, so I'm able to see some local content.
I think the setup experience is very nicely done. Its simple. Ask for a name, then it takes a photo of you using the front facing camera.
The interface is minimal and well designed. I'm not buried in tons of options I don't need. I played with everything for a few minutes and it didn't take long to get the hang of it.
Its insanely easy to upvote and leave a comment on someone's photo. I was actually surprised that my comment went through as soon as I hit Done, instead of showing me what the comment looks like and another button to post it.
The only thing that threw me off a little was the layout of images. The feeling I get from the interface is its reminiscent of Windows Phone OS. I personally kind of like that non-iOS kind of interface, in that its something new and interesting, but not bad. If that's where they indeed took their inspiration from, its not a bad source.
So money or not, I've had fun using it today.

Because that's pretty much how all forum and comment software works. I'm just boggled that you find this so surprising, it's the path of least effort.
- geuis 16y agoYes, it seems obvious to any of us. Its how you and I would design it. But add in some product managers, a separate non-communicating design team, and top it off with 3 layers of ineffective management on top of that and these simple kinds of thing quickly either get overlooked, or purposely designated not to function that way.
