#12I went there and immediately received a very nice looking 500 error
Re: Show HN: Linkwok – Picking up where search engines left off
#13Like everybody else... I made a search, got results, didn't know what to do, then left.
I guess I can't figure out where(what?) google or bing is leaving off when I search for something

#14I watched the video and clicked get started, looked at the screen and left. I still don't know what I should do or why.
there is a samurai on the site. that's why.

#15Please don't over-ride my scroll mechanism and force me to use keys to mystery-navigate - there's no indication that there are panels to scroll to, other than mashing the keyboard and trying. If you need a pop-up alert to explain to users how to use your UX, it is probably not as good as traditional UX like a nice scroll page.
google maps does the same!? i think it's totally valid here! you're navigating a map!

Very nice looking indeed.

So did I. Try clicking on Dashboard in the top right, that worked for me.
Edit: False start, it doesn't do anything unless you make an account. Lame.

For the first minute I thought that the product was the way you scrolled the content website.

#19To (most) of the comments regarding not knowing what to do, Linkwok is all about DRAGGING AND DROPPING search results, annotations, files from your computer and more to the canvas on the right side.
It has a few similarities to mindmaps, but where those force you to concentrate on creating, with Linkwok, you get to concentrate on organising.

#20Although I agree with others that the video leaves a bit to be desired, I thought I understood the point well enough and was looking forward to trying it out... Then I attempted to do just that and was instantly greeted with "INTERNAL ERROR
AN INTERNAL ERROR WAS ENCOUNTERED." :/
