Drag dis? Is your userbase the ghetto? The name's gotta change, it's awful.

"The ghetto", really? You sound properly awful.

Regardless, the name is terrible. I kept thinking it was a joke the entire time. Product looks great but the name could use a change.

My 5 year ago self would have loved this.

That was when I had the unrealistic expectation that useful services would stay around forever and not get bought out, close shop or pivot into something else.

It was also during a time when I wasn't as apprehensive about sharing lots of personal data with a US company. Nowadays I pass up the opportunity to sign away my data to new players.

This thing needs to be open source and selfhosted...

This looks beautiful and I can see this becoming indispensable quickly. I wish you guys did a better job of explaining what your app will do with write permissions to Facebook. I played around with it a bit, and it doesn't look like things I bookmark get posted to my News Feed or anything like that, but I don't know for sure. It would be nice if this was super clear when signing up. Soo... what exactly happens with w…

It obviously is for the MAC user, who wants one button, one motion for everything and the ability to see under the hood abstracted away. Great product if they make it a bit more transparent as to what is going on and add more customization.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That said - when I did find it, I was impressed by how incredible readable it was: https://dragdis.com/privacy_policy Please link to that from your sign up page!

Readable but not QA'd enough. Scroll to the bottom. 'If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this site, please contact us at:' was mentioned twice. Hurray copy and paste?

Hah, my brain just merged or ignored that. Weird.

Unsubstantiated ad hominem against mac users to complain about the open source nature of a cross platform product. Did you burn your breakfast?

Actually, I like the name. It has significant potential.

What I hate is the soccer mom in the video, and the clean polished look that doesn't match the cool name.

Maybe they could get Die Antwoord as celebrity spokespeople or something. If Ninja and Yolandi say something's good, it probably is.

I really wish there was a non-video summary on the landing page. It looks good, but FWIW here is free data on my 'acquisition funnel': Saw post on HN, opened it and the HN comments each in their own tabs. Got confused at the website not explaining what it is (did not want to watch a video) and closed site tab. Skimmed through the HN comments, saw enthusiasm, reopened site tab. Watched video. Signed up.

edit: Have to say, the post-sign-up onboarding tutorial is REALLY well done!
