Ask HN: Review my startup joinbox.com (closed beta invites)

17 points by konradm 15y ago

I'd love some feedback; we're a startup from Switzerland trying to help stay connected with a sleek unified inbox (social networks, email, rss) http://beta.joinbox.com/?code=36x7x6pp

It seems it needs my email password? Not sure I wanna give that out to just anyone. Also, FYI, your site made my Google Chrome crash (XP)

It's really hard to tell what the product actually does from just that one screenshot. I tried to sign up but it said my username was taken (even though I've definitely never signed up before). Looks like an interesting product if I could see what it does specifically.

  Hmm, there are still some available. Try again. On the other hand, there's a clip on joinbox.com

Why do you want my email password? I'm using gmail, so I assume you could use OAuth for that? Also the request permissions dialog for FB is just plain scary, do you really need all those permissions? I like the sleek interface! edit: if I view a tweet with replies, I would like to click the tweets bellow that to see replies to that tweet (just like on twitter.com) edit2: add google reader integration for news feeds edit3: how about visually separating content from different sources? For instance I put more importance to stuff from FB and if posts from FB would have a blue background (just an example) I could find them more easily in the swarm of twitter posts ...

I was just looking for something like this. It's really nice so far.

Plop down some coin and buy an SSL certificate. Really not comfortable putting in my email password/other information on an unknown site.

I'm amazed that out of all the comments so far, ... not one person has simply said "Good Job, Looks Awesome So Far". Well than let me be the first.

Seems like token not available any more

Good idea. I like your video. Unfortuantely it seems that you are out of tokens - so I can't get you more feedback than that.
