Your landing page is going to depend highly on your target audience. I worked at a place whose demographic was women aged 35+.

They do have permission though. The people used granted permission when they submitted their face to uifaces.com, in fact they even went so far as to submit their faces to the "authorised" section on uifaces > those awesome folks allow their faces to be used on live products They might not have ever imagined that their faces would be used in this manner, but they did give their permission.

If you read further down the Twitter feed, it's clear that this particular person didn't think she'd granted such permission, and the whole setup looks questionable on other grounds as well. Putting someone's face next to suggestions of serious problems like drug abuse or STIs on a public site without their knowledge or explicit consent at least raises ethical questions, and then trying to argue that it's obviously a…

I have a few qualms with this app: [1] 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by writing a shell script, compiling your own custom X server, and then monitoring the screen state for full-screen apps. For Windows or Mac, you just remote desktop to your Linux box with built-in software. 2. It doesn't actually reroute the notifications. Most people I know want to be able to per…

> It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this? Does everything have to be a moneymaker? Like you said, this would be trivial to setup yourself. It's a nice piece of software that provides some advertising for his other products.

Personally I like landing pages that are pretty. It makes me confident that some care went into the product too.
