This might just be me, but the very heavy demography targeting in the video kind of puts me off. I'm not a Mac user. I'm not an interior designer. Yes, I do like to save quotes and links, but I'm not all those other things. Really meeting your target audience in advertising is great when you KNOW your target audience, but in this case it feels like you're locking yourself into a very specific target audience that a lot of potential users aren't going to be a part of, and why?

I'm not sure if this is constructive or if it's just personal opinion, but I hope it's of any help. If not, just disregard it, it looks good overall.

confusing. the background video got my attention but didn't really tell me what you're selling. clicked the get started button... create an account ? no. so back. looked closely at the text to find out it's a browser extension... that was the bit of info I would've liked to see earlier...

The background video certainly grabbed my attention. And wouldn't let it go!

It would be great to have a video showing the principles behind the product but the video as it stands is too distracting. It zooms, scrolls or switches view every one to two seconds. I didn't think I'm slow, but the current video the switch from user-focus to screen-focus is too quick to get a feel for what's going on.

Maybe slow it down a bit or stick to one or two key video angles?

Just focussing on one point. Apart from that lots of other good comments here.

I think you should increase the focus on being multi-device. You're competing (I think) with Evernote and Pocket for example, both have outstanding cross-platform capabilities. This looks fantastic when I want to save something from my laptop browser, but increasingly I find myself saving from a mobile. This is fine for Pocket or Evernote, I just share it to their app, but that's not an option here. I'm also not conv…

It's a bit different then this :) We will integrate with Evernote and Pocket so everything from desktop will go to those apps were you said already have a great reading experience. We have strong mobile strategy, but at the moment focusing to "nail" the desktop experience. Thanks! http://dragd.is/iY2XH

That's awesome! 2 way sync with Pocket would be amazing, this is a much better reading experience on desktop and I can use Pocket for now if necessary on mobile. You'd also get the awesome IFTTT ecosystem Pocket is in if you're not going to be able to match that for a while, saving from Feedly to Pocket is awesome and it'd be great to get saved RSS in Dragdis too!

I was just about to edit in that I really like your focus on pictures, that's where what I currently use falls down badly. I can definitely imagine I'd save more images using this.

In terms of your desktop experience, would you consider one click (not drag) page saving? In your video it looks really tedious dragging from the URL bar to a sidebar on the right when you could just have a button to save in one click and categorise later.

The main text says "Drag & drop anything anywhere," so naturally I selected some text on the site and tried to drag it around. Nothing happened.

Agree. Why you guys don't just embed it as expandable sidebar on your website to get real taste how Dragdis works?

I bet they don't want to scare away those using a browser that requires a plugin for Dragdis to work.

We were thinking about it, but we figured it will confuse users as they will think that you can sort of drag&drop things only on Dragdis. I know not the most intelligent thought to have, but it's really not clear for average user that you need to visit some other website and drag there. And this would only confuse them even more. Thank you for your comments! http://dragd.is/iY2XH

How about something like

"Drag & drop anything anywhere with Dragdis", makes it more obvious it's a product not just something on that page

A buddy of mine and I had the same idea a while back but we never attempted to implement it because it seemed like it would be difficult to do on mobile. I'm hoping these guys can execute on mobile because it would be exactly what we wanted.

Yeah, we're targeting Creative Professionals as our early adopters. Sorry if it puts you off.

Thanks for the comment!
