I guess all kind of publicity is good publicity, but I would count as early adapters and after reading 2 blog posts(this one and the one posted by them) and exploring their site, I have no idea what they do.
I still don't see how "collaborative note taking"(whatever it means) is different, or more importantly, better than a wiki.
The marketing copy is making some wide claims and I am unable to follow.
> how we capture information (using personal tools),
That's as open ended as it gets. Notebook, bookmarks, wikis, emails, cms, reminders, calendar, todo...
> how we get work done (using team-based tools).
Team based tools: Git, Issue tracker, IRC, some wiki, basecamp style messaging
Non team based tools: Vim, some programming language, some framework, some libraries, browser to look up things, ebooks...
Now, I can see where the worlds collide(todos and issue trackers, emails and basecamp messaging), but I don't see where does the collaborative note taking come into action. If I need a discussion, I will use a threaded message board. If I am accumulating input, I will use a wiki.
Bottomline: If after much deliberation(much longer than 10 minutes), Rocketr's purpose is lost on me, I am not surprised it were lost on YC in a 10 minute assessment.
- danso 14y agoHow is there not an easily accessible demo, even a screencast, of a project two years in the making?
- drupeek 14y agoThere are several that exist from our first version of the app (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuCXE2aOQSY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuCXE2aOQSY). We've re-built the product recently and as such, don't have demos of the new application yet.
- adrianhoward 14y agoA resounding "me too". I'm only about 75% sure I understand the pain points they're trying to address - and I have no freaking clue what the product actually does. (and if I'm right about my understanding of the pain points then it's really bad - since I suffer from 'em and would like a solution :-)
