Ask HN: What product or service is conceptually great but poorly executed?
I am curious about products or services you've had experience with that had a stellar vision but were badly implemented. What was it and how did it die on the vine? Bad UI/UX? Terrible customer service? Failure to scale or listen to customers?

- smt88 5y agoI agree that they're the future. I disagree that anyone will get 90%. I think we'll see the same frustrating, fractured environment that we already have in video streaming.
