Why is this bad? It's a launch website.

And it worked because I signed up.




Same, and quickly realized I'll probably never return.


I thought about that, but given its potential for me I set it as my homepage. I'll give it a few days to see if it has money for me.


But this is because you saw it on HN and it's a YC company so you want to give it a chance.

Most people wouldn't care or even know what YC is.


Did he say that some where else? I can honestly say I may have been more likely to open it up and check out the site because it's a YC company, but I am 'giving it a chance' because I don't have anything else that does this except scrap paper and issue queues and I liked how you can change what the root node is and the clever use of breadcrumbs.


That, and because it's extremely fast compared to other software. I usually tend to go with less apps, but this could be a nice addition for me. Time will tell.


Nice. That's what I like to hear! Please let us know what you think after a few days of using it.


I think if I use it for a week I'll be hooked. Some sort of game mechanism to get people to use it for that initial crucial time frame might be helpful.


Totally :) I think a simple progress bar getting people up to, say 1000 items might do it. Any other ideas?
