You can share your feelings, stress, and anxiety! More features are coming on. I would like to get some feedback on it.

The site isn't mobile-friendly at the moment. Please use a desktop browser for time-being, we are planning to improve frontend over the weekend

Thank you! I understand the issue. Currently, we aren't using any email.

Yikes. I get not supporting mobile for now, but what about people who like to use little browser windows like me? Doesn't seem to be responsive at all.

I found signup and initial use to be quick and easy - no email or confirmation, etc.

The output does not respect carriage returns / newlines ... so while this HN post has multiple paragraphs, a similar input at "Shout It" would have this all run together with no newlines...

Thank you for the feedback! We will work on that over the weekend. I understand that it is an issue not being able to format the text.

I understand your problem. Apparently, our front-end dev isn't available on weekdays, so we are discussing it and trying to optimize the frontend. Thank you for your feedback.

Why would you not even bother getting basic functionality working before showing it to everyone?

Thank you for your feedback! We will update this by the weekend.

Our main reason to show was to validate if people would like to pen down their feelings, so we wanted to confirm this! We have also thought a lot of ideas and are keeping them on hold. We basically wanted to know if the core functionality is useful or not!
