Earlier quoted context omitted.

Looks like someone's first action logging in was setting the password to something else. I've reset it back to "helloworld".

This is something you should absolutely be prepared for and guard against if you are opening a public demo account.

First launch learnings. It's something I'd definitely have done a bit more if I were more prepared, but I mainly launched today because of the current situation, not because I had thought through all aspects of launch and felt ready.

You should post this on /r/RedditAlternatives/ as well if you haven't already. Also, clickable link: https://non.io/#all

I did, but they weren't a fan of the paid model for interaction: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/147qzfb...

I wasn't able to register initially due to some password strength requirements that aren't written anywhere, and got errors without an explanation of why. Generally I would have bailed at this point but wanted to give your project a look.

Good luck, I think it's a cool idea.

Mobile browser support is a little problematic.

A couple of things I noticed immediately, that you may want to consider.

  - landing page is not responsive, hard to read on Safari on iOS
  - login screen in-app couldn’t be closed, had to navigate away to exit, perhaps a hidden icon somewhere?
  - comment threads seemed to have the same issues on iOS as the landing page
Definitely like the direction you took for the UI, looks like with a little bit of work it’ll become a great platform though!

The rendering of the main page in my iphone 8 is pretty bad… Is bot designed for mobile? Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

Sorry I don't have a mobile css yet. Working on some designs here however: https://www.figma.com/file/DStwulDd9Vd3TLjrMuxZ9y/nonio-desi...

A couple thoughts after trying to submit a post (on firefox):

- no way to post a link/URL? But I can upload an html file? Am I supposed to make the URL the description of the post?

- "audio" does not appear to have a file upload button (probably a bug)

- the text submission box sometimes does that glitchy thing some javascript'd text boxes do where everything I type comes out backwards until a refresh

Seems like a cool platform, glad I registered. I'm trying to post a video, and I think this would be better if the encoder worked in the background so I don't need to leave the page up. Console is also full of CORS errors.

Edit: after waiting for a while with "480" checked, got an error message with a frowny face file icon

Another edit: Seems posting of any kind is currently broken, at least as an unsubscribed account. Too bad, it's a nice idea with about the best timing it'll ever have, but this is a very soft launch.
