I know this isn't the type of startup HN is usually interested in, but I value HN's opinion. I view this startup as a way to get a toe hold on something bigger. Something like threadless for socks. Thanks.
- mgkimsal 15y agoWell, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. I'd consider making those baby steps - you know, walk before you run - lest you put your foot in it. Real photographs may give you a leg up on your competitors, but that may be me just pussyfooting around. Have you dipped your toe in the waters to see what the reaction was?
- mgkimsal 15y agoMaybe you could have a gift subscription offering, to let someone else "foot the bill" for a friend. That might kick things up a notch. Compare your socks against the others out there - go toe to toe with them. Darn it, I think I've run out.
- jpiasetz 15y agoI really enjoyed it. It's a funny site. I would: - Size up the buy now and learn more on the front page (I barely noticed them) - Get a 1-800 number (look for a twilio code, then it's basically free) Do you ship to Canada?
- shawnbaden 15y agoAs mentioned, the "Buy Now" link should really stand out. This may have been your intention, but I can only find one place (on the home page under the Exclusive section) where it mentions cost. I think you should call out how much it costs on the subscribe page. Also, to nitpick, I'd stick with using either "buy" or "subscribe" instead of a mix.
