Weendy | your sports mate
- dsr_ 14y agoThe name does not roll smoothly off my tongue. "Wendy" is a female name. "Windy" doesn't mean much in a generalized sports context, though of course wind conditions affect many outdoor sports. The long "wee" suggests urine. (Yes, the Nintendo Wii has overcome this problem, except around 10 year old boys...) "Enhance their social profile" sounds like a non-goal. Do you mean "helps you get rich and famous?" Perhaps you want to focus more on location and time and instant-review aspects? Or planning? Or... what?

- dbecker 14y agoI think I'm squarely in your target market, but I didn't end up downloading the app because I couldn't tell from the web page what it does. From the FAQ, it looks like a way for surfers and kitesurfers to post wind and wave conditions to each other (i.e. an alternative to windguru.cz) But the front page talks about snowboarders. I'm guessing that is to report what runs have been skied off. Not sure about that though. Then it talks about "enhancing your social profile." Maybe that's a common phrase in the startup scene. Honestly, I have no idea what it means... It made me question my prior assumptions about what the app does. I'm guessing others will also skip the download if it's hard to tell what the app does. So you might benefit from a clearer description.
