Needs to say what it is on the homepage. When my only options are to play a video or "register with" then I always choose the third: close tab.
Heyo. Agreed! That's something we are working on already!

This is even worse, because the video still doesn't tell you fuck all. Is it a web service, desktop software, a browser plugin? WTF?
And seems like it is only for Macs.

#103I would recommend a "report bug/suggest" feature. Because when I dragged a Flickr image to the folder all I got was a header text on a white background (I think the picture has some restrictions for sharing...). It would be insightful to get these details from your end users.
PS: I like the intro tutorial.
PPS: I hated that I have to give permissions to post publicly to Facebook, or else the sign up process does not go through

#104This is what I do with firefox and the bookmarks sidebar, for sharing there are bookmarklets for pintrest, facebook, etc.
I used to leave my bookmarks sidebar open all the time before I switched to Chrome for performance/dev tool reasons. I was bummed that Chrome didn't have the same functionality, but didn't mind gaining screen real estate. This seems to solve both problems, I think.

Small quibble about your comment. This product is not made just for hackers so how about we cut them some hacker slack and concentrate on actual praise or critique of the product/implementation? Cheers P.S. This would have been great as part of a product I made a couple of years ago. Nice job guys!
Everyone knows that with enough praise on HN, founders don't need to have thick skins to survive. Failure is the fault of those who criticize. Or at least, that's what I'm getting from your comment.
ok I don't even know what that means. My point was the OP was showing a product and as "hackers" we tend to (should?) give feedback on the product being shown. As a "hacker" I would assume you would take into consideration a marketing video is not targeted towards "hackers" and not fixated on it enough to have a quibble with it. I was wrong. Maybe you're not a product person and would like every product to market itself with hacker grade videos.

Right. If HN is so sensitive to critique that something introduced as a 'small quibble' -- a marketing tip, from someone who has been there -- then you, HN, have jumped at least one shark, and probably several other marine macrofauna.
Ummmm I'll respond to the first part of this comment since I'm not smart enough to understand the reference in the second part.
Your comment was snark disguised as a critique. Remove "This is not hacker-attentional grade" and the stuff about the model bouncing around and something about the affordability of the apartment (maybe you have something against models bouncing around in expensive apartments) -- The rest of your comment actually is a good tip. :)

#107Good stuff. One nitpick. The intro video is a bit long. It should have started at t = 20s IMO. I watched it in mute though.
Also, I'm somewhere I can't watch a video — would be nice to be able to read what it does.
Or, even better, have a demo on the home screen, or at least a link to one.

#108My 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…
That's what I love about cottonTracks, even if it does lack a bit in the portability standpoint.

#109Awesome. Even more awesome : integration with trello. But I'll definitely use it. Is storage size a concern? I understand that the pictures are actually stored in Dragdis.

great idea! i'm putting this on my weekend-projects list
