The funny thing is... I'm one of those non-alcoholic people you mentioned and on a caffeine break so I'll be taking that milk ;)

I hate to self-promote, but I sincerely think you might find our startup useful. I built it for the EXACT same reason as you mentioned above. If you're up for it, let's grab drinks sometime as well when I'm back in the bay area. http://www

Hi Mike! Thanks for displaying such unselfishness and support. It's really people like you who begin making a difference. If you don't mind, I'd like to get some feedback for the landing page http://grooovy.me . If this is something that

I'm sorry that the app doesn't have any usefulness for you. Thank you for your feedback anyways!

I believe the email submission area is actually one of the first things I notice when I visit the landing page. I'm not sure if the problem is the email submission area. Does anyone else have a problem with this? I agree that the response a

You've made a good point. I should have clearly stated the differences as a selling point in the landing page. I originally thought that it would be alright to just let the visitor read about app and be able to spot the differences on their

Like you, I also don't sign up for a lot of sites until people start talking about it. If I keep hearing about it, it must be good right? All I can say is that I'll probably start signing up for more of those sites now that I've realized ho

Your examples hit the spot. We definitely need to spice up some of the copywriting on the site. Thanks for the feedback! As a note, your b example works. I ended up googling 'Zappino' :).

Now that you mention the >, it does seem like it's connected to the email submission. We'll definitely look into making it easier to navigate or redesign it to not even have to scroll at all. Thanks for the feedback, very helpful!

The app was directly intended for users to have a need or want to meet people so it might be a little different in your scenario as you've mentioned in your first sentence. We don't have any solutions as to getting past the social anxiety o

Hi DanBC. I hope I can clarify some questions. So, who are these people? Where do they come from? What's the "pool of people"? These will be people around your local area that likewise have an interest in meeting up. Wait, what? I have no i

I know I don't have as much experience as some of the other HN users here, but I think it's definitely possible to succeed with no experience as long as you're willing to try. My cofounder and I have a similar story. We are building our fir

I'll go first: The page seems a bit bland. The design is clean and clear but it doesn't have the "pop" that makes it stand out from other landing pages like the camera plus app. Maybe it needs more color to brighten up the page

Cool concept, clean interface but extremely buggy. Uploaded 3 images under 1mb and upload was broken. (I assume this as it went from 2%, 5%, 10%, 14%, 16% to download link). Downloading the attachments gives me a corrupted picture with only

Thanks for the honest input! I'm not too worried about the extra o' in the domain name at this point. We're bootstrapped so we need to make sure that we're dedicating our resources towards the more critical areas for now. But i'll definitel

Point well made. I'll see if I'm able to contact blogs and see if they would be interested in writing an article about it when the beta's out. I'll offer early testing of the beta so if they do decide to talk about it, they can. I'll start

Do you not like it just because of the name itself, or are you also having a problem with the o's? If you don't mind, constructive feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

It might only be a landing page- but I still find it important to generate as leads as possible. We're the type of app that requires a decent number of registrants in order to be fully utilized. Launchingwise, we're already working hard on
