I'm not the target audience, so I can't really give you any real feedback on the plugin, but I love the copy and spammed it all over the twitterverse. Good job! (btw, it looks like you forgot to replace some copy&pasted text under "How it works") EDIT: I also love the picture on the bottom. It took me a while until I got the point, but it's great.

> but I love the copy and spammed it all over the twitterverse Whoa. So for a while I wondered why the authors would be such shitty thick dicks but now I know why. In the "Attention Economy" (ugh) this is apparently what you need to be doing in order to be viral. So "viral" was actually a spot-on phrasing from the very beginning, anticipating that ultimately only rather sickening style will become indeed "viral". Now…

Wow, you're bitter.

I'm pretty much with you here. Saw a few comments on how it's hilarious and awesome copy, and all I saw was a bunch of cursing and... Well, and more cursing, I guess.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty foul-mouthed myself, a bit too much, even. And I'm not totally against cursing in a page like this, target audience and all that.

But I find this to be totally UNfunny. Reminds me of a little kid saying "poop!" and bursting into laughter. Made me scared about my age as well.

It's somewhat of an indictment of our industry that I genuinely can't tell whether this is clever, semi-ironic marketing for a real product or flat-out satire.

I tried buying it (with an empty form) and got: Error: This discount is invalid. Error: One or more of the discounts you entered is invalid Error: Enter an email Error: Please enter a valid email address Error: Please enter your first name I still can't tell if it's real or not. If this is a parody of random CRUD apps, it's spot on :)

I think both: began as joke, but can make money - like dirt cheap dirty boards https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7552631

What I like about skewed-perspective screenshots is that you can't really see the screens properly.

I guess that's the reason to do it. Hei... stop looking at the product and check out this fancy effects.
