The only thing that would attract me to a "personal archive" product is being able to completely and totally own it. I want to have ownership not just over my data, but also of its presentation. If you decide you want to redesign the app and I hate it, then all of my previous time and energy is wasted.
This product immediately asserts, 'use me forever', but everything about the project says 'we raised money, and who knows how this will play out.' It always frustrates me that companies are willing to gloss over that obvious conflict when entering in to such a potentially long commitment with their users.
I don't mean to be overtly negative, but instead just want to point out something you may have overlooked. I would expect that you want to attract users who don't take these choices lightly, right?
- blader 13y agoI feel the same way. That's why we spent time building it so that all of your data lives fully on your device (it's synced to our servers for backup purposes, which you can switch off). So even if we run out of money, you can still use Heyday forever. But less factually, I'm in love with this product and I intend to work on it for the rest of my life. Even for free.
- state 13y agoI certainly appreciate the boldness of your personal commitment. You should add that to the site somehow.
- neon_electro 13y agoThis comment converted me to download the app. I'd strongly suggest making this more clear in your product's description! :)
- nicktal 13y agoI feel the same way about Keepsake and I taught myself to code 9 months ago to build it and will work on it forever. It's roughly in the same market as HeyDay, but with a different perspective around grouping content semantically and quickly sorting it to publish on your iPhone: http://www.getkeepsake.com/ http://www.getkeepsake.com/
