I thought it was pretty funny, but I suppose humor is subjective like that.

It is. But I actually thought the entire website was fake and left.

And no offence but when I am handing over my money and company data I am not looking for humour.

Fibery shows a quantum entanglement Feynman diagram to explain how it works-- the whole site is brilliantly hilarious.

Kudos - I won’t remember a lot of the new products I’ve seen websites for, but I’ll remember this one! :)

If you watch the movie "The Game"... and stick with it until the end.... this is similar.... wtf? Is this a spoof, or what?

Ok, so downvote away, but at least answer the question... what is this thing?

Yet, it does get to HN frontpage almost every quarter...

In my experience B2B services are more successful when they are more serious. While I find this website funny, it doesn't give me enough arsenal to sell it to my team/manager/company. The best SaaS products have clear value props and resonate with a problem you're currently having. Sure I'll share this with my teammates bc it's funny but we'll hardly take it seriously.

In 2 words.. Fibery is a no-code platform to create information infrastructure for an organization. Due to no-code flexibility the tool is process agnostic and can replace several specific tools and reduce costs.

The other day I complained on reddit about users deleting their own posts. It's really annoying. There was only one response, "You're overthinking it, man". Now it was me who was annoyed.

Time to pass this one on, I guess: You're overthinking it man.

There.

Ha! Quite possibly, but it was a sincere attempt to help them improve the perception of their product, and I stand by the advice. In any case, I appreciate the feedback!
