Ask HN: Rate my startup: beepl.com
gargamel.beepl.com
At a quick glance, it's still got a lot of testing bugs showing publicly:
1) Your question Test is top of the front page
2) Top Members are "ad sd asd dasda" etc
3) The top links (including 'About Beepl', which would have answered my original question) still have the template # link in them
4) Some of the questions appear to have been overrun by spam (note the Star Trek question)
5) Also worth noting that I did know "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet", but only because I'd seen it before.
Congrats on putting it out there. I look forward to learning more.
Edit: Here's the direct link to the front page - http://www.beepl.com/
Unfortunately, the text here doesn't really explain what it does either, and the only options I have are either emailing you (not likely) or registering (also unlikely, for a website I don't know when it's not clear what it does).
It seems to be suffering from the same issues as your last Rate my Startup - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=612319 - mainly too much marketing speak, and not enough demonstration of the problem it solves.

Pretty sweet, but I can't use the registration.

The design's pretty cool.
Ok, so, I took a quick look and the only thing that works is if you click on a question from the page you link to, you are brought to a page with stuff on it. This looks like a non-functioning, reskinned Yahoo! Answers, that may at some point start charging people to find someone to answer the question. Is this the intent? Is there some deeper thing that I've missed here?
Anyway, it's about the results - we match these semantically.
I really hoped one would notice - at least wikipedia references, or question auto-categorization, if nothing else...
Thanks for the feedback - very valuable.
Yes, we still seem to have a lot to do - and yes, we do consider Yahoo! Answers evil. Thank you.
