I gotta tell you: this doesn't matter to me even a little bit.
Here's why.
We live in a world of results. Right now, you guys – I'm sorry this isn't positive – are making something that's frustrating, bad to use, unattractive and inescapable. The "view real, non-broken site" button often doesn't work. So somewhere, someone is fucking up my iPad and there's just nothing I can do about it.
You don't get to just come in and screw up the web for me without my having some strong feelings, dude, it's as simple as that. So if you want to shove a layer of non-useful junk into my way, you're going to need to acknowledge that there are user experience implications that require thorough thought.
If you ignore that you will incur the brand penalties associated with making people unhappy. And with a unanimous page of negative comments here, you're well on that road. This is a community that can't agree on anything, so I'd take this feedback very seriously.
If I make shit, I expect people to call me on it so I can make it better. How hard I've worked on it is irrelevant.
- jasonlbaptiste 15y agoAbsolutely agree that people should be called out. It's about how you call someone out, not whether you do or not.
- danilocampos 15y agoYeah, you're definitely right. Understand, though, that I view OnSwipe like malware, so I didn't expect anyone associated with it to either see what I had to say or care. Even at that, you've created something so frustrating to me that even being face-to-face would not have stayed my impassioned rage, here.
- rockarage 15y agoI agree, but isn't ironic you promoted Onswipe by saying "Apps are bullshit" ? Ins't poetic justice / Karma that "rude explicative ridden" comments are now directed at you ?
- 8ig8 15y ago> a layer of non-useful junk Agreed. What bugs me is that OnSwipe requires me to lay another layer over the article I'm attempting to read by filtering it through my Readability bookmarklet. Frankly, I find it hard to understand how these OnSwipe deals get done.
