So, some explanation is due here. My site is not ready for a public launch yet - I just made this post because of what I found out from testing with a small number of my friends. A few people followed my profile to find out what I am working on and now the cat's out of the bag - on the one hand I'm happy for the publicity but on the other hand I'm bummed that I'm not ready for it.
Believe me, the site was worse a few weeks ago - or at least a lot more basic. The feedback I got from the few people I showed that site to was quite positive though. As I made what I thought were improvements though I started getting more and more negative feedback hence the observation in my original post.
True, some of what I thought were improvements probably made the site worse. The lesson I've learnt is still valid though - I should have paid someone early on in the product development stage to take care of the UI.
I will pay someone this week to do that and hopefully launch properly sometime in June. I bet when I actually do a "Show HN" with a decent looking landing page it will not garner as much interest as this has - people love picking out mistakes!
Still, a big thank you to everyone who has provided feedback. I've fixed the obvious errors. Will tackle the others when I get the chance.
