Show HN: What do you think of my App's Splash page?
- awfycooper 15y agoAt least give your Twitter url...
- jeggers5 15y agoThat's what the button's for!
- iamscanner 15y agoI can't see a button under Safari 5 or Chrome 12: http://d.pr/L7ln http://d.pr/L7ln
- jeggers5 15y agoOk, that should be fixed now, can you confirm? Thanks for your help.
- Acorn 15y agoButton background still isn't appearing for me.
- jeggers5 15y agoRight, should definitely be working now - had it in a weird form that must've been messing the display up. Can you see it?

- spooneybarger 15y agono button- latest chrome for mac.
- jeggers5 15y agofound the problem, it's fixed now. for real this time :P
- iamscanner 15y agoThe grammar on this page is terrible - "I'm Keeping a big Secret" - what's with the inconsistent capitalization? This page leaves me more confused and frustrated than anything - what is your app? Why would I want to follow it on Twitter? If you're keeping your app secret, you either shouldn't have a splash page, or should have a placeholder page with a quick sentence - even if it's just "Spread is going to revolutionize the way you share your ideas.", or something like that. As it stands, all I know is that Spread's splash page creators don't write very well.
- jeggers5 15y ago+1 for the detailed comment, thanks. Fixed the grammar and am working on some copy to replace the current text, thanks :) also, if you couldn't see the button and logo earlier, it should be fixed now if you want to take a second look, thanks :)
- jeggers5 15y agoOk, I've changed it around a bit, thoughts?
- iamscanner 15y agoIt's much clearer, but I'm a bit confused - does "Stay in the loop without having to share an email address" explain what your app will do, or is it just your way of saying "hey, follow us on Twitter"? I'm expecting that sentence to be your service's pitch.
- jeggers5 15y agoYep, that's explaining what the App does. I'll make that a little clearer now, thanks :)
- spooneybarger 15y agodoesn't inspire me to want to follow you on twitter. i don't like teasers with no info.
- jeggers5 15y agoGood point. I'd rather work on the actual product though instead of spending ages on the splash page. Thanks for your comment.
- AwesomeTogether 15y ago"stay in the loop without giving your email to random people" better, imho
- jeggers5 15y ago+1 for good idea :) Just changed it there, thanks a lot :)
- AwesomeTogether 15y agonp, i also think it's better to say "Follow us on Twitter to get early access"
- jeggers5 15y agochanged it to that, thanks :)
- iamdave 15y ago"Stop giving your Email Address to random people - but still be in the loop." I was going to comment on your choice of copy text, then I refreshed the page to get another look and you had changed it to: "Stay in the Loop without giving your Email to random People." Much better. Why not make it more succinct? "Stay in the loop without giving away your email address" or even better: "Spread helps you stay in the loop without needing to share an email address". Tells visitors what you're doing, makes them ask "How" and it's direct copy. Also, stop with the random capitalization, please?
