Developer Here

Hey everyone, for the last Startup School (September2019), I submitted this application - Mrkff. It still need work then but I have decided to carry it forward and release Mrkff in Alpha state as I continue to work on it.

Please feel free to leave any amount of criticism and advice. This is the first time I am releasing a product of any kind to the public, thank you all for checking it out.

Also as a note. I have gained an immense amount of respect for developers who work in the Natural Language Processing field. In this product I use several libraries to parse keywords to try my best to find keywords in the page that accurately represent the content.

I had to learn quite a bit about NLP so that I could create proper summaries. The algorithm I designed for summaries isn't ready for production right now since it still produces poor results, but I will be updating and releasing new features over the next few months.

Again, thank you all for reading.

A quick tweak of the css breakpoints might be a good idea - on my iPhone 11 the home page text is just slightly off screen in a one character wide column about six miles long (and a bit difficult to read). I can believe the product is super interesting but I can't actually tell in this format.

Thank you for looking at it. I underestimated just how much css I would need. Thank you for bringing it to my attention

Too many slogans on your landing page. I skimmed through quickly and still have no idea what your product does.

You should test your site on FF android, as the page is unreadable. Text is vertical with very large whitespace areas in between.

Thanks for the feedback, I never tested it on mobile, that was my oversight.

It's not just mobile. I normally have my browser on my desktop take half my screen, and when I visit the page, I just see super-huge icons that take up all the viewing area. I need to be on full-screen to make any sense of what I'm seeing.

Thanks for checking it out. In hindsight I understand what you mean now that I'm looking at it much closer.

Thank you for checking it out. I tested the half screen on a large screen and I completely forgot to test the half screen on other sizes.
