Haha, I kinda agree but I also disagree. I completely understand, and this was never a weekend project to begin with. I am trying to get a concept out and I have already got my family to use it (parents). Sure in some cases you can call it a POC. The goal for clann was to streamline and make it easy for you to preserve memories. Sure you can go with cloud providers if you wanted to. Further I am not forcing people to upload images and put proper birthdays in their family trees. What I am letting them know is you can just have the names (which for the most part are public) and connect the members.

Some more raw feedback: Words like “streamline” are meaningless. You sound like you know how web apps work even at your age, so you would know that what you’re saying is near impossible without a ton of reputation, money and history in the business. Saying that you’re not forcing anyone to do upload their valuable images or data while at the same time it’s exactly what your marketing copy suggests strikes me now as a bit scammy (not saying you’re a scammer, just letting you know how it sounds) just like a lot of those crypto scammers who eventually say that they didn’t force anyone to invest. You seem capable and smart, don't fall into the trap that many HN lurkers fall into, which is thinking that they can build a whatever product to get some attention and then hopefully something comes out of it, you don’t have to waste your time on this stuff, or others for that matter.

  Thank you so much for the feedback. Honestly most people give me sugar coated feedback and it feels good to know my flaws and fix them. Will definitely work on making my wording better. I agree with you on the "waste your time". Wanted to experiment with it, While I will continue doing the little maintenance required for the existing users, I have shifted my attention to more open source products.
