I imagine it's usable and intuitive if you know what Sequoia Capital is, but since I didn't, it made no sense at all. How would I know what to search for?

- josefresco 17y agoAre you saying there are people who live outside of San Fran/the valley that aren't Apple worshiping, turtle neck wearing, VW driving hipsters? I demand proof.
- anigbrowl 17y agohow about 'what is sequoia capital'? Not being snarky, but I think people underestimate how often a natural language query will work, and how often non-techies use them (although if you don't know who they are, you probably aren't likely to have a relationship with them).
- mmorris 17y agoIt seems like that would make sense, but when I type in 'what is sequoia capital', I end up at the google results page. Fortunately, it has a link to the Sequoia website as the first result! Unfortunately, that link brings me back to the blank search box page. The 'us' page does have a (somewhat) helpful snippet, but I can't get to it easily by typing 'about' or 'sequoia' either. Not a bad concept, but I think the execution needs a bit of work.
- DanielStraight 17y agoWell, there's another problem too. If I open a blank text document with the intent of writing some code but I have no idea what I'm developing, I'm not going to get anything written. If you give me a search box, and there's nothing I want to find, why would I type anything at all?
