It seems to me that there is a significant group of users out there that are web app groupies for lack of a better word who will more or less express an interest in anything as long as it is pre-launch or early in the launch cycle. Since these folks are usually not your actual target market, their feedback is pretty worthless unless you're just looking for whether you fit neatly inside a web x.0 box. It seems like a website where people posted ideas for websites would be almost guaranteed to have a high population of these folks.
Of course I'm probably not your target market so my feedback is probably pretty worthless.
- vlokshin 14y agoI wouldn't call that worthless; it's something worth thinking about. We have a ton of thinking/testing still left to do as we flesh out exactly what the product will be. Gaming/aggregating good vs. bad support ("I'd use it") is going to be crucial. While traffic from said groupies would be nice, we'd like the actual feedback to be a bit more useful than a group of people marking "I'd use it". A reward system for making the right picks of apps that actually make it (whatever that definition of "make it" ends up being) is probably a worthwhile thing for us to think through.
- pekk 14y agoThere are a lot of users on HN who are positive about new projects (A) because it is nice and often more constructive as a start for discussion (B) it counteracts a prevailing negativity and one-upmanship (C) you actually don't know what is going to pan out in the end.
