That's a pity. I cannot remember anyone else telling me that it was spam filtered. But that doesn't have to mean anything. Do you have any suggestions what I could improve to make these emails pass?

I'd go with sendgrid. I hook up their api to every app I build.

Sendgrid and mailgun are the tops right now, IMO. They both have great services, but it seems like getting trusted SMTP at lower volumes was cheaper at mailgun. Sendgrid's API is awesome, though.

I think I got the point of the website finally. You should probably consider removing the sexual orientation of the profile informations, at least for a time, because it can be misleading about the goal of the website.

(My reply mysteriously disappeared. Second try...) HumanamuH is not meant to be a dating site in particular. But I assume wherever people meet, some of them will want to date. I like the idea of HumanamuH bringing love to the world, so I'm fine with it. The possibility to state one's orientation and whether one is looking for a partner is there for at least two reasons. If you don't want to date, you can make that cl…

Do you aim private life meetings or not only? Btw, the website is strong, looks serious and relatively trustable. It's a bit tedious to access the content but it's not very important, some people will care anyway. Best luck with it.

FYI - the confirmation email ended up in my spam folder. I'm not sure if that's gmail's default behavior or whether I've encouraged it to be a little too agressive, something to watch out for though.

Same here, it went to Hotmail's spam folder though.

Love the name. Clever. The website is a little more mysterious than I'd initially like, but I'll give it a try. I wish you success with this!

I didn't expect so much love for the name as I've got mixed opinions before making HumanamuH public. Please let me know what was mysterious to you. (If it's not too mysterious for you to know...)

I just didn't know what I was signing up for, and the name doesn't tell me anything. But I like the name a lot. I just think you need a killer tagline or something.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

Can you elaborate what felt tedious to you?

Do you know what made you think it was a dating site? The wording? I thought "meeting people" was quite neutral.

The gender requirement. Even if you removed that stuff it's already too much work to maintain my LinkedIn account the couple other social networks I'm on. I'm not sure what you can do to mitigate social network burnout while still achieving your goal.

Actually, there isn't a gender requirement. It's optional.

I am not sure if there is a general social network burnout. Maybe it's specific to social networks with lots of noise, likes, shares, news, ads and so on?

At least one new user told me that this was a social network that he can actually imagine to use.

Just curious. Did you read the current tag line, the landing page and the tour and still felt that you've got no idea what it's all about?

I think it would be much more inviting if you could at least search for people without having made an account. As it stands I have no idea what kind of people I could talk to, so I have no idea if it would be worth giving up my email address. Edit: Interesting idea, though. With social networks like Facebook you really need to have met in order to befriend — it doesn't encourage random meetings. When I was younger I…

Yes, I understand your point. I didn't want to share the user profiles with non-users. I also haven't looked into how easy it would be to harvest profile pictures and profile data. Any thoughts on this?

"I didn't want to share the user profiles with non-users."

And yet, if someone wants to harvest profiles, they'll just sign up with a fake/throwaway email address, while legitimate users have to give up real information to do the same.

I almost didn't sign up because I couldn't really tell what this was. I went ahead anyway and when I finally saw the landing page I thought, "Oh it's a dating site. No thanks."

Do you know what made you think it was a dating site? The wording? I thought "meeting people" was quite neutral.

Asking for:

  - Looking
  - Orientation
  - Gender
And then, 'what do you intend to do with people' or similar wording on the next page.

I realise it's all innocent, it just sets an odd tone.
