I would have worded a message like this much differently - I would keep it positive. I would not mention my app name and the word vaporware in the same article, I would just include the bit where I demonstrate who is using app.net, and link the code. I would also not give lip service to doubters who say the funding goal won't be reached.
This message may feel nuanced to the author, but it's tone is negative and defensive.
- natrius 14y agoI think it works for this sort of audience. We're skeptics. I was skeptical that their Kickstarter would be successful. This has convinced me otherwise. I'm still not convinced that the project itself will be successful, but time will tell.
- glanch 14y agoI agree. Dalton came off as extremely antagonistic and negative in his Kickstarter video as well. I could feel the anger in his voice. There has to be a more positive, uplifting way to communicate the reason app.net exists. You catch more flies with honey, etc.
