I don't wish to sound negative, it's a genuine query because I really can't think of a single instance in the past when this would have solved a problem for me, but I wonder if there's niches I've not been exposed to.

Just asking because it's my answer and I'd be really happy to see someone using it!

#13Product demo should probably be specific to your session. It's great to be able to try it. But unmoderated user content front and center on your main page doesn't work so well. ETA: More specifically, there was a lot of flashing of offensive text.

#14Really quick question since it looks quite similar (but might just be coincidence), did you happen to use this for the right click context menu? https://stackoverflow.com/a/20471268/938236 Just asking because it's my answer and I'd be really happy to see someone using it!

#15It's interesting. Is this a product that solves a particular problem you've found in the past? Or a product trying to find a market.

#16The only problem I had with the app was during registration. I decided to use my Google account to register, and upon successful redirect back to the app via OAuth callback, I was prompted to click a button to create a new user account instead of being logged into the app.
I found this confusing because I expected the step of generating my user account to be automated in the OAuth callback. There was also a heading on the page that was something like 'No Account Found', which added to my confusion as the OAuth process was supposed to (I expected, at least) create the account record.

#18No pricing, doesn't appear to be open source, so why would I rely on this? Too many SaaS apps go the way of the dodo these days - if I can't run it myself it's going to be a hard sell, and if you can't make a case that you're profitable, I'm not gonna take a risk on your flash in the pan project.

i agree, make it a per-user demo. THere's so much in the demo document on the front page that it lags and prevents scrolling...

#20The demo slows down the web page, especially on mobile. So put it behind a deliberate action. That way you can also make the demo full screen instead of rendering it 75% of its normal size.
Edit: That way it's also clearer that when someone is using the demo to post swear words, like what is happening now, it isn't on your main page.
