#2Thanks for the post! We've been working on this new release for a while, hoping to get lots of feedback from HN.

#3This is a welcome change.
The previous design looked a bit rushed and the icons looked straight out of the 90s.

#4I wish there were more screenshots of the App. I know you are pushing people to get started on the free trial and to actually experience the app but I really like to browse through all the various screens before diving in.
Looks like something I would consider dumping campfire for (campfire has never made me happy).

Thanks for the feedback, we'll be adding more of them, and blogging about individual features.
We actually have a Campfire importer in case you want to retain your chat history.

Thanks for reading the feedback :) Love that there is a campfire importer that we can import our chat history with!

#8You should be able to put flows into categories and make subflows.

#9For someone who's not familiar with the app, I have to do a lot of decoding of your home page to figure out what exactly the product is and why I should be interested.
Your /tour "Features" page explains it much better:
"TEAM INBOX & CHAT Replace IRC, IM or Skype chat with Flowdock."
That's something I can quickly parse and immediately understand.
I also echo the sentiment that more screenshots (hopefully with call-outs/highlights) would probably help out.

+1 for full-res screenshots. I like to see what I'm getting before having to create an account and download an app.
