You're going to think I'm a horrible person who's telling you your baby is ugly. But that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm sure your game is great. Some day

You're going to think I'm a horrible person who's telling you your baby is ugly. But that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm sure your game is great. Some day I will push past my login-fatigue and log in to start playing.
My constructive criticism... and I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, what little I saw of the game looks pretty cool... but... would you consider not having to sign up for an account before playing. Even if an account is required for the game mechanics, maybe randomly generate a user id and let the user start playing. Then if they like it they can change their username and add a password.
Again. Not trying to be a jerk here. I appreciate the hard work you've put into this thing.
- drcode 4y agoThanks, no need to be polite, I agree the initial experience sucks, it's kind of required by this particular project. Here is my last weekend project, as you can see it totally is in line with your UI advice: ezbitmap.com
- dingosity 4y agooh yes. that is quite cool.
- drcode 4y agoFYI, I'd love to hear your initial take on the UI for another fun project I'm releasing in the near future (maybe August). It has a bit of a complicated workflow and I'm struggling hard to simplify it and make it comprehendible. If you send me an email at [my HN username]@gmail.com I will send you an early link and your can tear into me how crappy the user experience is if you want :-)
- wincy 4y agoThis is a really funny considering the nature of the game.
- Kiro 4y agoThat would defeat the whole purpose of the game.
