For me that's an instant disqualification.
What!? You're joking I assume.. What % of the market does Opera have again?

#42Ok, I really like your app. It's very javascript based so I'll be viewing your source heavily, because I'm also creating similar javascript based applications and I get into a big problem with code growth/complexity, so I'm hoping to learn something from you. Here's some helpful criticism. I hope I don't come off too harsh, since I really actually like this app. Some questions: - What are your unique features? It see…
Thanks for the feedback and hope you get some good architecture ideas from the source. Copywriting re: "account" must be improved (an account could be a company/organization/project). Contact lists will come when I figure out how to do them right. For now, there's the search bar in top right. This is probably the easiest way to switch contacts or see all contacts in a company etc. Re: interface, the idea is to keep i…
You know colors really help out. You don't have to have colors all over the place, but humans are inherently bad at scanning for text and monotoned objects.
Maybe a word for accounts: Group ..?
Keep it up!

#43Just focusing on the design aspect, I'm split between thinking "I love the simple, clean, minimalistic look" and "It looks like it's half built, I'll come back when it's finished". Perhaps even just the inclusion of a small logo or a bit of colour anywhere, would give the added impression that at least "something" has gone into the design and that this isn't just the default look & feel of a CSS framework.
It doesn't look any more inviting after some data has been added. It's hard to tell what this site offers, since as far as I could see, it only stores name, email, and phone. I can get more than that free with more trusted, well-known services (Google, Plaxo, etc.). It's missing import/export, sorting, communications logging, attachments, related tasks, related documents, notes... As currently presented, this product…

#45I would be interested in the technology and architecture behind it.

#47Make a painless iPhone (and for some folks - Android) + GMail sync and I'll probably pay you $10. Although, I can still sync iPhone contacts with GMail (using a payed app because MS Exchange integration is a pain in the ass), so I'm not sure. I like that it's simple, but there should be some killer feature that would make me want to switch. But maybe I'm just not your target client. What's you target audience?
Re: Ask HN: Review My Startup: Szpil
#48I want to look around more and learn about the features, see some screenshots, read about the pricing, et cetera, prior to "adding my first contact".
