Ask HN: Review My Startup: Szpil

Be well organized. Keep detailed contact histories. Review past calls and conversations. Search contacts and notes. Collaborate with your colleagues. See who spoke to whom and what was said. See what you did a year ago today. Work remotely or offline.

I would appreciate your feedback.

Make 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?

I can't seem to find any screenshots of how your app does what it promises to do. And the only way I know what it's supposed to do is because you told us in the HN submission, not on the site itself.

The first interaction is for me to type in some pretty sensitive information (email, phone number, etc.), which I am simply not going to do until I feel it's worth it.

Also: your site breaks in weird ways in Opera (10.60).

Just 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.

I get a white page with a spinning icon top left, and this in my JS console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Security error" code: "1000" nsresult: "0x805303e8 (NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR)" location: "https://szpil.com/javascripts/application.js Line: 7562"]

Firefox 3.6.6, OSX 10.6.4
